Nihal Altan-Bonnet: Tracking viruses that hijack membranes
JCB • VOLUME 210 • NUMBER 7 • 2015 1038 In some ways, Nihal Altan-Bonnet’s career shares similarities with a national security agent, pursuing invaders. As a graduate student in Sandy Simon’s laboratory at The Rockefeller University, she showed that drug-resistant tumor cells were sequestering chemotherapy drugs away in acidified membrane compartments for deportation from the cell (1). That beg...
متن کاملHow viruses hijack the ERAD tuning machinery.
An essential step during the intracellular life cycle of many positive-strand RNA viruses is the rearrangement of host cell membranes to generate membrane-bound replication platforms. For example, Nidovirales and Flaviviridae subvert the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for their replication. However, the absence of conventional ER and secretory pathway markers in virus-induced ER-der...
متن کاملDangerous Membranes: Viruses That Subvert Autophagosomes
In this issue of EBioMedicine, Christian Münz and colleagues show autophagy could be related to a secretory pathway, and that the virus that Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV) induces an accumulation of membranes related to the cellular autophagy pathway, and that an autophagic marker can be found in EBV particles (Nowag et al., 2014). This suggests that autophagic membranes participate in generation of ...
متن کاملViruses Find a New Way to Hijack Cells
Viruses travel light. Most carry just their genetic material and a few tools to break into the cells of their hosts — after that, they hijack the host’s own machinery to manufacture thousands of copies of themselves. In recent decades, biologists have gained a clearer picture of just how this heist is pulled off. Many viruses, it turns out, suppress the messages that cells send to control their...
متن کاملMembranes, viruses, detergents, and endosomes
The fluid mosaic model for biological membranes was formulated 40 years ago. Ten years later endosomes were discovered as important prelysosomal organelles. At the outset of my research career, I was fortunate to witness both these turning points in biochemistry and cell biology from close up, and to participate in some of the studies. In this short essay, I will describe how this came about, a...
