Rotavirus enterotoxin NSP4 binds to the extracellular matrix proteins laminin-beta3 and fibronectin.
Rotavirus is the most important cause of viral gastroenteritis and dehydrating diarrhea in young children. Rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is an enterotoxin that was identified as an important agent in symptomatic rotavirus infection. To identify cellular proteins that interact with NSP4, a two-hybrid technique with Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used. NSP4 cDNA, derived from the human r...

متن کاملA functional NSP4 enterotoxin peptide secreted from rotavirus-infected cells.
Previous studies have shown that the nonstructural glycoprotein NSP4 plays a role in rotavirus pathogenesis by functioning as an enterotoxin. One prediction of the mechanism of action of this enterotoxin was that it is secreted from virus-infected cells. In this study, the media of cultured (i) insect cells infected with a recombinant baculovirus expressing NSP4, (ii) monkey kidney (MA104) cell...
متن کاملHaemophilus influenzae protein E binds to the extracellular matrix by concurrently interacting with laminin and vitronectin.
Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) causes otitis media and is commonly found in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Adhesins are important for bacterial attachment and colonization. Protein E (PE) is a recently characterized ubiquitous 16 kDa adhesin with vitronectin-binding capacity that results in increased survival in serum. In addition to PE, NTHi utilizes Hae...
متن کاملAcanthamoeba binds to extracellular matrix proteins in vitro.
PURPOSE To identify host-tissue amoeba interactions that may be important in the pathogenesis of Acanthamoeba keratitis, the ability of the opportunistic pathogen Acanthamoeba polyphaga to bind various components of the extracellular matrix (collagen type IV, laminin, or fibronectin) was examined in vitro. METHODS A polyphaga, isolated from a case of human amoebic keratitis, was used in the s...
