Small peptide inhibitors disrupt a high-affinity interaction between cytoplasmic dynein and a viral cargo protein.
Several viruses target the microtubular motor system in early stages of the viral life cycle. African swine fever virus (ASFV) protein p54 hijacks the microtubule-dependent transport by interaction with a dynein light chain (DYNLL1/DLC8). This was shown to be a high-affinity interaction, and the residues gradually disappearing were mapped on DLC8 to define a putative p54 binding surface by nucl...
متن کاملCytoplasmic dynein.
The organization and function of eukaryotic cells rely on the action of many different molecular motor proteins. Cytoplasmic dynein drives the movement of a wide range of cargoes towards the minus ends of microtubules, and these events are needed, not just at the single-cell level, but are vital for correct development. In the present paper, I review recent progress on understanding dynein's me...
متن کاملCytoplasmic dynein nomenclature
A variety of names has been used in the literature for the subunits of cytoplasmic dynein complexes. Thus, there is a strong need for a more definitive consensus statement on nomenclature. This is especially important for mammalian cytoplasmic dyneins, many subunits of which are encoded by multiple genes. We propose names for the mammalian cytoplasmic dynein subunit genes and proteins that refl...
متن کاملCytoplasmic dynein-associated structures move bidirectionally in vivo.
Intracellular organelle transport is driven by motors that act upon microtubules or microfilaments. The microtubulebased motors, cytoplasmic dynein and kinesin, are believed to be responsible for retrograde and anterograde transport of intracellular cargo along microtubules. Many vesicles display bidirectional movement; however, the mechanism regulating directionality is unresolved. Directional...
متن کاملUltra-low sized cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone nanoparticles as non-viral vectors for in vivo gene delivery.
In principle, the technique of gene delivery involves taking complete or parts of genes that can code specific message and delivering them to selected cells in the body. Such a transfer of plasmid DNA into mammalian cells has posed major challenges for gene therapy. This study shows the encapsulation of a plasmid DNA in cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanoparticles of size less than 100...
