Influenza A Virus Nucleoprotein Exploits Hsp40 to Inhibit PKR Activation
BACKGROUND Double-stranded RNA dependent protein kinase (PKR) is a key regulator of the anti-viral innate immune response in mammalian cells. PKR activity is regulated by a 58 kilo Dalton cellular inhibitor (P58(IPK)), which is present in inactive state as a complex with Hsp40 under normal conditions. In case of influenza A virus (IAV) infection, P58(IPK) is known to dissociate from Hsp40 and i...
متن کاملProkaryotic Expression of Influenza A virus Nucleoprotein Fused to Mycobacterial Heat Shock Protein70
Background and Aims: The novel approaches in influenza vaccination have targeted more conserved viral proteins such as nucleoprotein (NP) to provide cross protection against all serotypes of influenza A viruses. Influenza specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) are able to lyse influenza-infected cells by recognition of NP, the major target molecule in virus for CTL responses. On the other hand,...
متن کاملEvaluating the Immunogenicity of Avian Influenza Virus Nucleoprotein
Background: Influenza viruses cause Avian Influenza (AI) is a serious infectious disease belonging to type A Orthomyxovirus. A viral RNA synthesis is due to an interaction of the nucleoprotein (NP) with the viral polymerase. In the present study, we have evaluated the immunogenicity of avian influenza virus nucleoprotein. Materials & Methods: An Influenza Virus N9H2 subtype A/Chicken I...
متن کاملMonomeric Nucleoprotein of Influenza A Virus
Isolated influenza A virus nucleoprotein exists in an equilibrium between monomers and trimers. Samples containing only monomers or only trimers can be stabilized by respectively low and high salt. The trimers bind RNA with high affinity but remain trimmers, whereas the monomers polymerise onto RNA forming nucleoprotein-RNA complexes. When wild type (wt) nucleoprotein is crystallized, it forms ...
متن کاملPolyclonal Antibody against Recombinant Nucleoprotein of the Influenza A Virus (H1N1); Production and Purification
Background and Aims: Influenza is an acute respiratory illness that is caused by a virus belonging to Orthomyxoviridae family. This virus spreads rapidly every year in cold season and leads to morbidities and mortalities especially in adults and children, which causes billions of dollars of economic losses. Accordingly, development of a rapid, sensitive and inexpensive laboratory diagnosis base...
