Anaplasma phagocytophilum-Occupied Vacuole Interactions with the Host Cell Cytoskeleton
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen of humans and animals. The A. phagocytophium-occupied vacuole (ApV) is a critical host-pathogen interface. Here, we report that the intermediate filaments, keratin and vimentin, assemble on the ApV early and remain associated with the ApV throughout infection. Microtubules localize to the ApV to a lesser extent. Vimentin,...
متن کاملMycobacterium leprae interactions with the host cell: recent advances.
The significance of Hansen disease, or leprosy, is underscored by fact that detection of this disease has remained stable over the past 10 yr, even though disease prevalence is reduced. Due to the long incubation time of the organism, health experts predict that leprosy will be with us for decades to come. Despite the fact that Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, cannot be cul...
متن کاملEarly Bunyavirus-Host Cell Interactions
The Bunyaviridae is the largest family of RNA viruses, with over 350 members worldwide. Several of these viruses cause severe diseases in livestock and humans. With an increasing number and frequency of outbreaks, bunyaviruses represent a growing threat to public health and agricultural productivity globally. Yet, the receptors, cellular factors and endocytic pathways used by these emerging pat...
متن کاملDifferential potential for envelope glycoprotein-mediated steric shielding of host cell surface proteins among filoviruses.
The viral envelope glycoprotein (GP) is thought to play important roles in the pathogenesis of filovirus infection. It is known that GP expressed on the cell surface forms a steric shield over host proteins such as major histocompatibility complex class I and integrin β1, which may result in the disorder of cell-to-cell contacts and/or inhibition of the immune response. However, it is not clari...
متن کاملRabies Infection: An Overview of Lyssavirus-Host Protein Interactions
Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites that use cell proteins to take the control of the cell functions in order to accomplish their life cycle. Studying the viral-host interactions would increase our knowledge of the viral biology and mechanisms of pathogenesis. Studies on pathogenesis mechanisms of lyssaviruses, which are the causative agents of rabies, have revealed some important ho...
