Role of Auxilin and Heat Shock Protein 70kDa in Clathrin Uncoating [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
An interaction between auxilin and heat shock protein 70kDa (Hsc70) was initially discovered in 1995. There exists a large amount of data supporting the basis for their interaction in vitro and their function in clathrin uncoating in vivo.

Infectivity and Uncoating of Adenovirus Cores

open access: yesIntervirology, 1980
A temperature-sensitive mutant of adenovirus type 2 grown at 39 degrees (tsl-39 degrees) produces noninfectious physical particles. DNA and core structures derived from such virion particles, however, were found to be infectious at the permissive temperature.

Stoichiometric Binding of Cyclophilin‐A to The HIV‐1 Capsid Modulates Its Mechanoelastic Properties

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
The HIV‐1 capsid is a protein nanocapsule that must balance rigidity and flexibility to enter the cell nucleus. Atomic force microscopy simulations reveal that binding of the host protein Cyclophilin A tunes this mechanical response: partial coverage preserves deformability, while excessive binding induces brittleness and failure.

HIV Capsid Inhibitors Beyond PF74

open access: yesDiseases, 2019
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) capsid plays important roles at multiple stages of viral replication. At the initial stages, controlled uncoating (disassembly) of the capsid ensures efficient reverse transcription of the single-stranded RNA genome ...

Extracellular uncoating of bacteriophage MS2. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Mol Biol
In the early stages of infection of its host, Escherichia coli, bacteriophage MS2 sheds its icosahedral protein capsid, after which the single-stranded genomic RNA (gRNA) and maturation protein enter the cell as a complex. Although the steps preceding uncoating, which include the binding of the Mat protein to the extracellular filament F-pilus, have ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Virus adaptation to heparan sulfate comes with capsid stability tradeoff

open access: yeseLife
Because of high mutation rates, viruses constantly adapt to new environments. When propagated in cell lines, certain viruses acquire positively charged amino acids on their surface proteins, enabling them to utilize negatively charged heparan sulfate (HS)

A comparative analysis of cell death signalling in RNA and DNA virus infections and potential inhibitory strategies

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
RNA and DNA viruses can manipulate host cell death through various mechanisms. RNA viruses (H1N1, SARS‐CoV‐2) induce acute apoptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis to promote rapid viral transmission and epithelial barrier damage. In contrast, DNA viruses (HSV‐1, EBV) regulate these mechanisms to sustain a lytic‐latency cycle, evade immune response and ...

Degradation of SAMHD1 by Vpx Is Independent of Uncoating [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2015
ABSTRACT Sterile alpha motif domain and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) restricts human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication in myeloid and resting T cells. Lentiviruses such as HIV-2 and some simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) counteract the restriction by encoding Vpx or Vpr, accessory proteins that are packaged in ...

How Viruses Use the VCP/p97 ATPase Molecular Machine

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that are dependent on host factors for their replication. One such host protein, p97 or the valosin-containing protein (VCP), is a highly conserved AAA ATPase that facilitates replication of diverse RNA- and ...
