Cleavage of rotavirus VP4 in vivo.
The infectivity of rotavirus particles is dependent on proteolytic cleavage of the outer capsid protein, VP4, at a specific site. This cleavage event yields two fragments, identified as VP5* and VP8*. It has been hypothesized that the particle is more stable, but non-infectious, when VP4 is in the uncleaved state. Uncleaved VP4 and the resultant increased stability might be advantageous for the...
متن کاملSerotype-specific epitope(s) present on the VP8 subunit of rotavirus VP4 protein.
cDNA clones representing the VP8 and VP5 subunits of VP4 of symptomatic human rotavirus strain KU (VP7 serotype 1 and VP4 serotype 1A) or DS-1 (VP7 serotype 2 and VP4 serotype 1B) or asymptomatic human rotavirus strain 1076 (VP7 serotype 2 and VP4 serotype 2) were constructed and inserted into the pGEMEX-1 plasmid and expressed in Escherichia coli. Immunization of guinea pigs with the VP8 or VP...
متن کاملComparative amino acid sequence analysis of VP4 for VP7 serotype 6 bovine rotavirus strains NCDV, B641, and UK.
In a previous study (S. Zheng, G. N. Woode, D. R. Melendy, and R. F. Ramig, J. Clin. Microbiol. 27:1939-1945, 1989), it was predicted that the VP7 serotype 6 bovine rotavirus strains NCDV and B641 do not share antigenically similar VP4s. In this study, gene 4 and the VP7 gene of B641 were sequenced, and the amino acid sequences were deduced and compared with those of NCDV and bovine rotavirus s...
متن کاملTwo-way cross-neutralization mediated by a shared P (VP4) serotype between bovine rotavirus strains with distinct G (VP7) serotypes.
Among bovine rotavirus strains, there are three G serotypes (G6, G8, and G10) and three P (VP4) serotypes (PB1, PB2, and PB3, which are defined on the basis of strains NCDV, UK, and B223, respectively). Plaque reduction neutralization assays with hyperimmune antisera disclosed two-way antigenic relationships of strain KN-4 with strain KK-3 (G10, PB3) as well as with strains NCDV (G6, PB1) and 0...
متن کاملAntigenic relationships among human rotaviruses as determined by outer capsid protein VP4.
cDNA clones representing the VP4 gene of symptomatic human rotavirus strain KU (VP7 serotype 1) or DS-1 (VP7 serotype 2) or asymptomatic human rotavirus strain 1076 (VP7 serotype 2) were constructed and inserted into a baculovirus expression vector under the control of the polyhedrin promoter. The resulting recombinants expressed the appropriate authentic VP4 rotavirus outer capsid protein. Gui...
