Molecular Cryo-Electron Tomography of Skin
The three-dimensional structure of skin can be studied at near-native conditions at the molecular level with a new technique called molecular electron tomography of vitreous tissue sections (tissue TOVIS). Its usage is, however, still largely limited by a difficult sample handling procedure. Here we discuss some measures for the efficient application of tissue TOVIS to dermatological research.
متن کاملStructural Analysis of HIV-1 Maturation Using Cryo-Electron Tomography
HIV-1 buds form infected cells in an immature, non-infectious form. Maturation into an infectious virion requires proteolytic cleavage of the Gag polyprotein at five positions, leading to a dramatic change in virus morphology. Immature virions contain an incomplete spherical shell where Gag is arranged with the N-terminal MA domain adjacent to the membrane, the CA domain adopting a hexameric la...
متن کاملCryo-electron tomography of rubella virus.
Rubella virus is the only member of the Rubivirus genus within the Togaviridae family and is the causative agent of the childhood disease known as rubella or German measles. Here, we report the use of cryo-electron tomography to examine the three-dimensional structure of rubella virions and compare their structure to that of Ross River virus, a togavirus belonging the genus Alphavirus. The ecto...
متن کاملCryo-electron tomography of vaccinia virus.
The combination of cryo-microscopy and electron tomographic reconstruction has allowed us to determine the structure of one of the more complex viruses, intracellular mature vaccinia virus, at a resolution of 4-6 nm. The tomographic reconstruction allows us to dissect the different structural components of the viral particle, avoiding projection artifacts derived from previous microscopic obser...
متن کاملDynamics of antibodies from cryo-electron tomography.
The issue of protein dynamics and its implications in the biological function of proteins are arousing greater and greater interest in molecular biology. In cryo-electron tomography experiments one takes several snapshots of a given biological macromolecule. In principle, a large enough collection of snapshots may then be used to calculate its equilibrium configuration in terms of the experimen...
