Hsc70-induced changes in clathrin-auxilin cage structure suggest a role for clathrin light chains in cage disassembly [PDF]
The molecular chaperone, Hsc70, together with its co-factor, auxilin, facilitates the ATP-dependent removal of clathrin during clathrin-mediated endocytosis in cells.

Uncoating of Clathrin-Coated Vesicles by Uncoating ATPase from Developing Peas [PDF]
A cytosolic ATPase (an enzyme that dissociates clathrin from clathrin-coated vesicles in the presence of ATP) was isolated from developing pea (Pisum sativum L.) cotyledons using chromatography on ATP-agarose. After chromatography on phenyl Sepharose, the fraction with uncoating activity was enriched in a doublet of 70-kD peptides.

Flaviviruses are enveloped, arthropod-borne, positive-strand RNA viruses that cause significant human disease. While the basic mechanisms of flavivirus entry and fusion are understood, little is known about the postfusion events that precede RNA ...

Localization and functions of native and eGFP-tagged capsid proteins in HIV-1 particles.
In infectious HIV-1 particles, the capsid protein (CA) forms a cone-shaped shell called the capsid, which encases the viral ribonucleoprotein complex (vRNP).

Cellular IP6 Levels Limit HIV Production while Viruses that Cannot Efficiently Package IP6 Are Attenuated for Infection and Replication [PDF]
Summary: HIV-1 hijacks host proteins to promote infection. Here we show that HIV is also dependent upon the host metabolite inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) for viral production and primary cell replication.

Virus genomes are condensed and packaged inside stable proteinaceous capsids that serve to protect them during transit from one cell or host organism, to the next. During virus entry, capsid shells are primed and disassembled in a complex, tightly-regulated, multi-step process termed uncoating.

Nucleoli are membrane-less structures located within the nucleus and are known to be involved in many cellular functions, including stress response and cell cycle regulation. Besides, many viruses can employ the nucleolus or nucleolar proteins to promote

The role of cellular adhesion molecules in virus attachment and entry [PDF]
As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses must traverse the host-cell plasma membrane to initiate infection. This presents a formidable barrier, which they have evolved diverse strategies to overcome.

VP5* Rearranges when Rotavirus Uncoats [PDF]
ABSTRACT Trypsin primes rotavirus for efficient infectivity by cleaving the spike protein, VP4, into VP8* and VP5*. A recombinant VP5* fragment has a trimeric, folded-back structure. Comparison of this structure with virion spikes suggests that a rearrangement, analogous to those of enveloped virus fusion proteins, may mediate membrane ...
