Influenza Exits the Cell without an ESCRT
نویسنده
چکیده
Many enveloped viruses depend on the membrane remodeling machinery of their host cells to complete their life cycle. In this issue, Rossman et al. (2010) now demonstrate that influenza virus possesses its own device for releasing nascent virus particles from the plasma membrane, the M2 proton-selective ion channel, which can substitute for the host cell's ESCRT pathway.

Influenza Virus M2 Protein Mediates ESCRT-Independent Membrane Scission
Many viruses utilize host ESCRT proteins for budding; however, influenza virus budding is thought to be ESCRT-independent. In this study we have found a role for the influenza virus M2 proton-selective ion channel protein in mediating virus budding. We observed that a highly conserved amphipathic helix located within the M2 cytoplasmic tail mediates a cholesterol-dependent alteration in membran...
متن کاملUn-“ESCRT”-ed Budding
In their recent publication, Rossman et al. describe how the inherent budding capability of its M2 protein allows influenza A virus to bypass recruitment of the cellular ESCRT machinery enlisted by several other enveloped RNA and DNA viruses, including HIV, Ebola, rabies, herpes simplex type 1 and hepatitis B. Studies from the same laboratory and other laboratories indicate that budding of plas...
متن کاملDesign, Production, and Evaluation of Virosomes from H1N1 Influenza Virus
Background: The last two decades witnessed the spread of the first generation of influenza viruses. Influenza virosomes are promising tools in vaccine and immunotherapy programs because of their applications in various medical fields. The aim of the present study was to construct cationic virosomes derived from influenza virus using dialyzable detergent (DCPC) and cationic lipid (DOTAP) in vit...
متن کاملBudding of filamentous and non-filamentous influenza A virus occurs via a VPS4 and VPS28-independent pathway.
The mechanism of membrane scission during influenza A virus budding has been the subject of controversy. We confirm that influenza M1 binds VPS28, a subunit of the ESCRT-1 complex. However, confocal microscopy of infected cells showed no marked colocalisation between M1 and VPS28 or VPS4 ESCRT proteins, or relocalisation of the cellular proteins. Trafficking of HA and M1 appeared normal when en...
متن کاملComparative Evaluation of Mx and Alum as Bio and Conventional Adjuvants in Inducing Immune Responses by Influenza DNA Vaccine
Background & Objective: DNA vaccines as a new generation of vaccines require adjuvant to improve vaccine immunogenicity; adjuvants can also increase the DNA vaccine efficacy. In this study, the effects of the host’s interferon-inducible Mx protein as bio adjuvant and conventional alum adjuvant were evaluated. Materials & Methods: The BALB/c mice were immunized by different prime-boost strate...
