Membrane alterations induced by nonstructural proteins of human norovirus
Human noroviruses (huNoV) are the most frequent cause of non-bacterial acute gastroenteritis worldwide, particularly genogroup II genotype 4 (GII.4) variants. The viral nonstructural (NS) proteins encoded by the ORF1 polyprotein induce vesical clusters harboring the viral replication sites. Little is known so far about the ultrastructure of these replication organelles or the contribution of in...
متن کاملExpression of poliovirus nonstructural proteins in Escherichia coli cells. Modification of membrane permeability induced by 2B and 3A.
The poliovirus nonstructural proteins 2B, 2C, 2C3A, 2C3AB, 3A, and 3AB have been cloned and efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli cells. Each individual protein, or combinations of some of them, were cloned using polymerase chain reaction techniques and correspond to the genuine poliovirus protein plus an additional methionine. The system used to express them uses pET vectors containing the...
متن کاملMembrane permeabilization by small hydrophobic nonstructural proteins of Japanese encephalitis virus.
Infection with Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus, may cause acute encephalitis in humans and induce severe cytopathic effects in various types of cultured cells. We observed that JEV replication rendered infected baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) cells sensitive to the translational inhibitor hygromycin B or alpha-sarcine, to which mock-infected cells were insensitive. H...
متن کاملMembrane morphology induced by anisotropic proteins.
There are a great many proteins that localize to and collectively generate curvature in biological fluid membranes. We study changes in the topology of fluid membranes due to the presence of highly anisotropic, curvature-inducing proteins. Generically, we find a surprisingly rich phase diagram with phases of both positive and negative Gaussian curvature. As a concrete example modeled on experim...
متن کاملPlatelet membrane alterations induced by the local anesthetic dibucaine.
Tertiary amine local anesthetics modify a variety of platelet membrane-related functions. The present study explored dibucaine (DB)-induced inhibition of platelet cohesion by examining structural and functional alterations of the human platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex (GPIIb-IIIa) and platelet Ca2+ homeostasis. Complete inhibition of ADP-induced aggregation was achieved five minu...
