Reovirus nonstructural protein muNS binds to core particles but does not inhibit their transcription and capping activities.
Previous studies provided evidence that nonstructural protein muNS of mammalian reoviruses is present in particle assembly intermediates isolated from infected cells. Morgan and Zweerink (Virology 68:455-466, 1975) showed that a subset of these intermediates, which can synthesize the viral plus strand RNA transcripts in vitro, comprise core-like particles plus large amounts of muNS. Given the p...
متن کاملThe non-structural protein μNS of piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) forms viral factory-like structures
Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) is associated with heart- and skeletal muscle inflammation in farmed Atlantic salmon. The virus is ubiquitous and found in both farmed and wild salmonid fish. It belongs to the family Reoviridae, closely related to the genus Orthoreovirus. The PRV genome comprises ten double-stranded RNA segments encoding at least eight structural and two non-structural proteins. Ery...
متن کاملHepatitis B viral core proteins with an N-terminal extension can assemble into core-like particles but cannot be enveloped.
The structure of hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleocapsids has been revealed in great detail by cryoelectron microscopy. How nucleocapsids interact with surface antigens to form enveloped virions remains unknown. In this study, core mutants with N-terminal additions were created to address two questions: (1) can these mutant core proteins still form nucleocapsids and (2) if so, can the mutant nucle...
متن کاملToll-like receptor 2 senses hepatitis C virus core protein but not infectious viral particles.
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are pathogen recognition molecules activating the innate immune system. Cell surface expressed TLRs, such as TLR2 and TLR4, have been shown to play an important role in human host defenses against viruses through sensing of viral structural proteins. In this study, we aimed to elucidate whether TLR2 and TLR4 participate in inducing antiviral immunity against hepatitis...
متن کاملRotavirus nonstructural protein NSP5 interacts with major core protein VP2.
Rotavirus is a nonenveloped virus with a three-layered capsid. The inner layer, made of VP2, encloses the genomic RNA and two minor proteins, VP1 and VP3, with which it forms the viral core. Core assembly is coupled with RNA viral replication and takes place in definite cellular structures termed viroplasms. Replication and encapsidation mechanisms are still not fully understood, and little inf...
