Interference in dengue virus adsorption and uncoating by carrageenans.
This study demonstrated that the lambda- and iota-carrageenans, sulfated polysaccharides containing linear chains of galactopyranosyl residues, are potent inhibitors of dengue virus type 2 (DENV-2) and 3 (DENV-3) multiplication in Vero and HepG2 cells, with values of effective concentration 50% from 0.14 to 4.1 microg/ml. This activity was assayed by plaque reduction, virus yield inhibition and...
متن کاملDengue Virus Genome Uncoating Requires Ubiquitination
UNLABELLED The process of genome release or uncoating after viral entry is one of the least-studied steps in the flavivirus life cycle. Flaviviruses are mainly arthropod-borne viruses, including emerging and reemerging pathogens such as dengue, Zika, and West Nile viruses. Currently, dengue virus is one of the most significant human viral pathogens transmitted by mosquitoes and is responsible f...
متن کاملAdsorption, penetration, and uncoating of murine leukemia virus studied by using its reverse transcriptase.
A procedure using the virus-associated reverse transcriptase was developed for following the kinetics of adsorption, penetration, and uncoating of murine leukemia virus. Viral adsorption to cell membrane was determined by assaying this enzyme activity in isolated debris of mechanically disrupted cells after infection with murine leukemia virus in the presence of actinomycin D. At 37 degrees C, ...
متن کاملMechanisms of virus uncoating.
In a virus particle, the genome is highly condensed and protected by proteins and membrane bilayers. Before it can be replicated in a new host cell, uncoating must take place. Recent studies on enveloped and nonenveloped animal viruses indicate that uncoating occurs through complex, multistep processes triggered by virus-host-cell interactions.
متن کاملUncoating of vaccinia virus.
Input vaccinia virus deoxyribonucleoproteids with buoyant densities (in CsCl) very similar (if not identical) to those of viral cores have been found in large cytoplasmic structures in which viral DNA replication takes place. The deoxyribonucleoproteids consist of at least five major and two minor core proteins and viral DNA which is protected against DNase digestion. It is suggested that viral...
