Cryo-EM model of the bullet-shaped vesicular stomatitis virus.
Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a bullet-shaped rhabdovirus and a model system of negative-strand RNA viruses. Through direct visualization by means of cryo-electron microscopy, we show that each virion contains two nested, left-handed helices: an outer helix of matrix protein M and an inner helix of nucleoprotein N and RNA. M has a hub domain with four contact sites that link to neighborin...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in a carp leucocyte cell line infected with turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) rhabdovirus.
A rhabdovirus was observed from the diseased turbot (Scophthalmus maximus L.) with lethal syndrome. In this study, a carp leucocyte (CLC) cell line was used to investigate the infection process and cell death mechanism occurring during the virus infection. Strong cytopathogenic effect (CPE) and the morphological changes, such as extreme chromatin condensation, nucleus fragmentation, and apoptot...
متن کاملMatrix protein of rabies virus is responsible for the assembly and budding of bullet-shaped particles and interacts with the transmembrane spike glycoprotein G.
To elucidate the functions of rhabdovirus matrix (M) protein, we determined the localization of M in rabies virus (RV) and analyzed the properties of an M-deficient RV mutant. We provide evidence that M completely covers the ribonucleoprotein (RNP) coil and keeps it in a condensed form. As determined by cosedimentation experiments, not only the M-RNP complex but also M alone was found to intera...
متن کاملPhysico-chemical and serological characterization of five rhabdoviruses infecting fish.
Viruses isolated from fish with viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS), infectious haematopoietic necrosis (IHN), spring viraemia of carp (SVC), swim-bladder inflammation (SBI) and pike fry disease (PFD) have been grown to high titre in fathead minnow cells. While our preparations of the IHN, SVC, SBI and PFD viruses showed typical rhabdovirus morphology with bullet-shaped particles and distinct ...
متن کاملA new rhabdovirus isolated in Japan from cultured hirame (Japanese flounder) Paralichthys olivaceus
In March 1984, a new rhabdovlrus was isolated from moribund cultured hlrame (Japanese flounder) Parahchthys ohvaceus and from ayu Plecoglossus alhvelis fry In Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. From February through May 1985, the virus was again isolated from hirame in seawater tanks in Hyogo and Kagawa Prefecture, and in Hokkaldo, Japan. At temperatures between 5 and 20 "C the vlrus replicated and induc...
