Viroporins [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 2003
Viroporins are a group of proteins that participate in several viral functions, including the promotion of release of viral particles from cells. These proteins also affect cellular functions, including the cell vesicle system, glycoprotein trafficking ...

The minimalist architectures of viroporins and their therapeutic implications

open access: yesBiochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Biomembranes, 2014
Many viral genomes encode small, integral membrane proteins that form homo-oligomeric channels in membrane, and they transport protons, cations, and other molecules across the membrane barrier to aid various steps of viral entry and maturation.

Targeting the Channel Activity of Viroporins

open access: yesAdvances in Protein Chemistry and Structural Biology, 2016
Since the discovery that certain small viral membrane proteins, collectively termed as viroporins, can permeabilize host cellular membranes and also behave as ion channels, attempts have been made to link this feature to specific biological roles. In parallel, most viroporins identified so far are virulence factors, and interest has focused toward the ...

Viroporins from RNA viruses induce caspase-dependent apoptosis

open access: yesCellular Microbiology, 2008
The virus‐encoded viroporins are known to modify membrane permeability and play an essential role in virus budding. Here, a comparative analysis of the membrane permeabilization capacity of a number of viroporins was performed in baby hamster kidney ...

Functional and Structural Characterization of 2B Viroporin Membranolytic Domains

Biochemistry, 2008
Nonstructural 2B viroporin is an intracellularly produced pore-forming protein required for effective enteroviral and rhinoviral replication. The sequence of 2B displays two putative interconnected transmembrane domains, which are predicted to insert into the negatively charged membranes of target organelles forming an integral hairpin.
