Membrane Integration of Poliovirus 2B Viroporin [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2011
ABSTRACT Virus infections can result in a variety of cellular injuries, and these often involve the permeabilization of host membranes by viral proteins of the viroporin family. Prototypical viroporin 2B is responsible for the alterations in host cell membrane permeability that take place in enterovirus-infected cells. 2B protein

Viroporin activity of murine hepatitis virus E protein [PDF]

open access: bronzeFEBS Letters, 2005
The viroporin activity of the E protein from murine hepatitis virus (MHV), a member of the coronaviruses, was analyzed. Viroporins are a growing family of viral proteins able to enhance membrane permeability, promoting virus budding. Initially, the MHV E gene was inducibly expressed in Escherichia coli cells, leading to the arrest of bacterial growth ...

Monoclonal Human Antibodies That Recognise the Exposed N and C Terminal Regions of the Often-Overlooked SARS-CoV-2 ORF3a Transmembrane Protein

open access: yesViruses, 2021
ORF3a has been identified as a viroporin of SARS-CoV-2 and is known to be involved in various pathophysiological activities including disturbance of cellular calcium homeostasis, inflammasome activation, apoptosis induction and disruption of autophagy ...

In situ‐spektroskopische Detektion der weitreichenden Reorientierung von Transmembranhelices während der Öffnung des Influenza A M2‐Kanals**

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 47, November 20, 2023., 2023
Viroporine sind kleine virale Ionenkanäle, die bei Virusinfektionen eine wesentliche Rolle spielen. Mittels oberflächenverstärkter Infrarotabsorptionsspektroskopie verfolgen und quantifizieren wir ausgedehnte Strukturveränderungen während der Öffnung des Influenza‐A‐Viroporins, des M2‐Protonenkanals, in einer Modellmembran.

In Support of Simian Polyomavirus 40 VP4 as a Later Expressed Viroporin

open access: yesmSphere, 2020
Simian virus 40 VP4 was discovered in 2007 as a later expressed viral protein initiated from a downstream Met on the VP2/VP3 transcript. VP4’s role as a viroporin involved in viral release was supported in a series of additional articles that ...

Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 Viral Channel Activity Using FDA-Approved Channel Modulators Independent of Variants

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
Background: SARS-CoV-2 has undergone mutations, yielding clinically relevant variants. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that in SARS-CoV-2, two highly conserved Orf3a and E channels directly related to the virus replication were a target for the detection and

In Situ Spectroscopic Detection of Large‐Scale Reorientations of Transmembrane Helices During Influenza A M2 Channel Opening**

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 62, Issue 47, November 20, 2023., 2023
Viroporins are small viral ion channels that play essential roles during viral infections. Using surface‐enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy we track and quantify the large‐scale structural changes during opening of the Influenza A viroporin, the M2 proton channel, in a model membrane.

Discovery and Characterization of the Phospholemman/SIMP/Viroporin Superfamily [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobial Physiology, 2022
Using bioinformatic approaches, we present evidence of distant relatedness among the Ephemerovirus Viroporin family, the Rhabdoviridae Putative Viroporin U5 family, the Phospholemman family, and the Small Integral Membrane Protein family. Our approach is based on the transitivity property of homology complemented with five validation criteria: (1 ...

Biological Function and Application of Picornaviral 2B Protein: A New Target for Antiviral Drug Development

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Picornaviruses are associated with acute and chronic diseases. The clinical manifestations of infections are often mild, but infections may also lead to respiratory symptoms, gastroenteritis, myocarditis, meningitis, hepatitis, and poliomyelitis, with ...
