Mutations in rotavirus nonstructural glycoprotein NSP4 are associated with altered virus virulence.
Rotaviruses are major pathogens causing life-threatening dehydrating gastroenteritis in children and animals. One of the nonstructural proteins, NSP4 (encoded by gene 10), is a transmembrane, endoplasmic reticulum-specific glycoprotein. Recently, our laboratory has shown that NSP4 causes diarrhea in 6- to 10-day-old mice by functioning as an enterotoxin. To confirm the role of NSP4 in rotavirus...
متن کاملRotavirus nonstructural glycoprotein NSP4 is secreted from the apical surfaces of polarized epithelial cells.
NSP4, a nonstructural glycoprotein encoded by rotavirus, is involved in the morphogenesis of virus particles in the endoplasmic reticulum of infected cells. NSP4 is also implicated in the pathophysiology of rotavirus-induced diarrhea by acting as an enterotoxin. To mediate enterotoxic effects in vivo, NSP4 must be secreted or released from rotavirus-infected cells in a soluble form; however, pr...
متن کاملReceptor activity of rotavirus nonstructural glycoprotein NS28.
Rotavirus morphogenesis involves the budding of subviral particles through the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membrane of infected cells. During this process, particles acquire the outer capsid proteins and a transient envelope. Previous immunocytochemical and biochemical studies have suggested that a rotavirus nonstructural glycoprotein, NS28, encoded by genome segment 10, is a transmembran...
متن کاملRotavirus Nonstructural Protein 4 (NSP4)-Viral Enterotoxin with Multiple roles in Pathogenesis of Diarrhoea in Children
Article history: Received on: 06/05/2015 Revised on: 24/05/2015 Accepted on: 14/07/2015 Available online: 27/07/2015 Nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) of Rotavirus has been designated as the first viral enterotoxin. Its role in viral replication is already well known. Intensive research over the past decade has shown the involvement of this protein in many cellular activities both in ‘expressed’ a...
متن کاملEXPRESSION OF NONSTRUCTURAL GLYCOPROTEIN NSP4 OF SAIl SIMIAN ROTAV IRUS IN ESCHERICHIA COLI AND PRODUCTION OF ANTIBODY AGAINST IT
Rotavirus nonstructural glycoprotein NSP4 can induce diarrhea in newborn mice. It has been suggested that NSP4 may be a key determinant for rotavirus pathogenesis and a target for vaccine development. In order to study the biological and morphological role of NSP4 a large amount of the purified protein and antibody against it are required. Simian rotavirus SA11 was propagated in BSCl cell,...
