چکیده

Rotavirus entry is a complex multistep process that depends on the trypsin cleavage of the virus spike protein VP4 into polypeptides VP5 and VP8 and on the interaction of these polypeptides and of VP7, the second viral surface protein, with several cell surface molecules, including integrin v 3. We characterized the effect of the trypsin cleavage of VP4 on the binding to MA104 cells of the sialic acid-dependent virus strain RRV and its sialic acid-independent variant, nar3. We found that, although the trypsin treatment did not affect the attachment of these viruses to the cell surface, their binding was qualitatively different. In contrast to the trypsin-treated viruses, which initially bound to the cell surface through VP4, the non-trypsin-treated variant nar3 bound to the cell through VP7. Amino acid sequence comparison of the surface proteins of rotavirus and hantavirus, both of which interact with integrin v 3 in an RGD-independent manner, identified a region shared by rotavirus VP7 and hantavirus G1G2 protein in which six of nine amino acids are identical. This region, which is highly conserved among the VP7 proteins of different rotavirus strains, mediates the binding of rotaviruses to integrin v 3 and probably represents a novel binding motif for this integrin.

Integrin avb3 mediates rotavirus cell entry

Rotavirus strains differ in their need for sialic acid (SA) for initial binding to the cell surface; however, the existence of a postattachment cell receptor, common to most, if not all, rotavirus strains, has been proposed. In the present study, antibodies to the av and b3 integrin subunits, and the avb3 ligand, vitronectin, efficiently blocked the infectivity of the SA-dependent rhesus rotavi...

Cation-π interaction regulates ligand-binding affinity and signaling of integrin α4β7

Integrin α4β7 mediates rolling and firm adhesion of leucocytes, two of the critical steps in leukocyte migration and tissue specific homing. Affinity of α4β7 for ligand is dynamically regulated by three interlinked metal ion-binding sites in β7-subunit I domain. In this study, we found that Phe185 (F185), a highly conserved aromatic residue in β7-subunit, links the specificity-determining loop ...

Identification of novel integrin binding partners for calcium and integrin binding protein 1 (CIB1): structural and thermodynamic basis of CIB1 promiscuity.

The short cytoplasmic tails of the α- and β-chains of integrin adhesion receptors regulate integrin activation and cell signaling. Significantly less is known about proteins that bind to α-integrin cytoplasmic tails (CTs) as opposed to β-CTs to regulate integrins. Calcium and integrin binding protein 1 (CIB1) was previously identified as an αIIb binding partner that inhibits agonist-induced act...

Affixin interacts with α-actinin and mediates integrin signaling for reorganization of F-actin induced by initial cell–substrate interaction

The linking of integrin to cytoskeleton is a critical event for an effective cell migration. Previously, we have reported that a novel integrin-linked kinase (ILK)-binding protein, affixin, is closely involved in the linkage between integrin and cytoskeleton in combination with ILK. In the present work, we demonstrated that the second calponin homology domain of affixin directly interacts with ...
