Association of respiratory syncytial virus M protein with viral nucleocapsids is mediated by the M2-1 protein.
Cytoplasmic inclusions in respiratory syncytial virus-infected cells comprising viral nucleocapsid proteins (L, N, P, and M2-1) and the viral genome are sites of viral transcription. Although not believed to be necessary for transcription, the matrix (M) protein is also present in these inclusions, and we have previously shown that M inhibits viral transcription. In this study, we have investig...
متن کاملStructural phosphoprotein M2-1 of the human respiratory syncytial virus is an RNA binding protein.
The structural phosphoprotein M2-1 of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) Long strain shows RNA binding capacity in three different assays that detect RNA-protein complexes: cross-linking, gel retardation, and Northern-Western assays. It is able to bind HRSV leader RNA specifically with cooperative kinetics, with an apparent K(d) of at least 90 nM. It also binds to long RNAs with no sequen...
متن کاملOverexpression of the M2-2 protein of respiratory syncytial virus inhibits viral replication.
The M2-2 protein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is involved in regulation of viral RNA transcription and replication. Encoded by the next-to-last gene of RSV, the M2-2 open reading frame (ORF) overlaps with the upstream M2-1 ORF, suggesting that the production of the M2-2 protein might be tightly regulated during virus replication. To evaluate the effect of M2-2 overexpression on RSV repl...
متن کامل2'-5'-Oligoadenylate Synthetase-Like Protein Inhibits Respiratory Syncytial Virus Replication and Is Targeted by the Viral Nonstructural Protein 1.
2'-5'-Oligoadenylate synthetase-like protein (OASL) is an interferon-inducible antiviral protein. Here we describe differential inhibitory activities of human OASL and the two mouse OASL homologs against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) replication. Interestingly, nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of RSV promoted proteasome-dependent degradation of specific OASL isoforms. We conclude that OASL act...
متن کاملRespiratory syncytial virus matrix protein associates with nucleocapsids in infected cells.
Little is known about the functions of the matrix (M) protein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). By analogy with other negative-strand RNA viruses, the M protein should inhibit the viral polymerase prior to packaging and facilitate virion assembly. In this study, localization of the RSV M protein in infected cells and its association with the RSV nucleocapsid complex was investigated. RSV-in...
