Function of Small Hydrophobic Proteins of Paramyxovirus

Function of small hydrophobic proteins of paramyxovirus.

Mumps virus (MuV), a rubulavirus of the paramyxovirus family, causes acute infections in humans. MuV has seven genes including a small hydrophobic (SH) gene, which encodes a type I membrane protein of 57 amino acid residues. The function of the SH protein is not clear, although its expression is not necessary for growth of MuV in tissue culture cells. It is speculated that MuV SH plays a role i...

‏‎interpersonal function of language in subtitling

‏‎translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...

INTERACTION OF PROTEINS WITH SMALL MOLECULES

Induction of apoptosis by paramyxovirus simian virus 5 lacking a small hydrophobic gene.

Simian virus 5 (SV5) is a member of the paramyxovirus family, which includes emerging viruses such as Hendra virus and Nipah virus as well as many important human and animal pathogens that have been known for years. SV5 encodes eight known viral proteins, including a small hydrophobic integral membrane protein (SH) of 44 amino acids. SV5 without the SH gene (rSV5deltaSH) is viable, and growth o...

Small-Molecule Hydrophobic Tagging Induced Degradation of HaloTag Fusion Proteins

The ability to regulate any protein of interest in living systems with small molecules remains a challenge. We hypothesized that appending a hydrophobic moiety to the surface of a protein would mimic the partially denatured state of the protein, thus engaging the cellular quality control machinery to induce its proteasomal degradation. We designed and synthesized bifunctional small molecules to...
