Functional interaction between paramyxovirus fusion and attachment proteins.
Paramyxovirinae envelope glycoproteins constitute a premier model to dissect how specific and dynamic interactions in multisubunit membrane protein complexes can control deep-seated conformational rearrangements. However, individual residues that determine reciprocal specificity of the viral attachment and fusion (F) proteins have not been identified. We have developed an assay based on a pair ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Interaction Between the Attachment and Fusion Glycoproteins Required for Paramyxovirus Fusion: a Dissertation
The first step of viral infection requires the binding of the viral attachment protein to cell surface receptors. Following binding, viruses penetrate the cellular membrane to deliver their genome into the host cell. For enveloped viruses , which have a lipid bilayer that surrounds their nucleocapsids , entry into the host cell requires the fusion of viral and cellular membranes. This process i...
متن کاملA functional interaction between sprouty proteins and caveolin-1.
Growth factor-mediated signal transduction cascades can be regulated spatio-temporally by signaling modulators, such as Sprouty proteins. The four mammalian Sprouty family members are palmitoylated phosphoproteins that can attenuate or potentiate numerous growth factor-induced signaling pathways. Previously, we have shown that Sprouty-1 and Sprouty-2 associate with Caveolin-1, the major structu...
متن کاملBimolecular complementation of paramyxovirus fusion and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase proteins enhances fusion: implications for the mechanism of fusion triggering.
For paramyxoviruses, entry requires a receptor-binding protein (hemagglutinin-neuraminidase [HN], H, or G) and a fusion protein (F). Like other class I viral fusion proteins, F is expressed as a prefusion metastable protein that undergoes a refolding event to induce fusion. HN binding to its receptor triggers F refolding by an unknown mechanism. HN may serve as a clamp that stabilizes F in its ...
متن کاملEnvelope targeting: hemagglutinin attachment specificity rather than fusion protein cleavage-activation restricts Tupaia paramyxovirus tropism.
To engineer a targeting envelope for gene and oncolytic vector delivery, we characterized and modified the envelope proteins of Tupaia paramyxovirus (TPMV), a relative of the morbilli- and henipaviruses that neither infects humans nor has cross-reactive relatives that infect humans. We completed the TPMV genomic sequence and noted that the predicted fusion (F) protein cleavage-activation site i...
