Spike protein-nucleocapsid interactions drive the budding of alphaviruses.
Semliki Forest virus (SFV) particles are released from infected cells by budding of nucleocapsids through plasma membrane regions that are modified by virus spike proteins. The budding process was studied with recombinant SFV genomes which lacked the nucleocapsid protein gene or, alternatively, the spike genes. No subviral particles were released from cells which expressed only the nucleocapsid...
متن کاملNucleocapsid-glycoprotein interactions required for assembly of alphaviruses.
We have studied interactions between nucleocapsids and glycoproteins required for budding of alphaviruses, using Ross River virus-Sindbis virus chimeras in which the nucleocapsid protein is derived from one virus and the envelope glycoproteins are derived from the second virus. A virus containing the Ross River virus genome in which the capsid protein had been replaced with that from Sindbis vi...
متن کاملMost alphaviruses share a conserved epitopic region on their nucleocapsid protein.
Fourteen hybridoma cell lines secreting antibodies against the Semliki Forest virus nucleocapsid protein were established and employed for identification of conserved epitopes among 27 alphavirus types and subtypes. Using an antibody capture test, the antibodies were found to cross-react to variable degree with alphaviruses belonging to the Semliki Forest, western encephalitis and eastern encep...
متن کاملAlphavirus spike-nucleocapsid interaction and network antibodies.
Vaux et al. (D. J. T. Vaux, A. Helenius, and I. Mellman, Nature (London) 336:36-42, 1988) recently reported the production of network antibodies that were suggested to have reconstructed a specific interaction between the nucleocapsid of Semliki Forest virus and the cytoplasmic tail of the viral E2 spike protein. The F13 anti-idiotype antibody, which was raised against anti-E2 tail antibodies, ...
متن کاملComplex interactions of HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein with oligonucleotides
The HIV-1 nucleocapsid (NC) protein is a small, basic protein containing two retroviral zinc fingers. It is a highly active nucleic acid chaperone; because of this activity, it plays a crucial role in virus replication as a cofactor during reverse transcription, and is probably important in other steps of the replication cycle as well. We previously reported that NC binds with high-affinity to ...
