A Review of Functional Motifs Utilized by Viruses
Short linear motifs (SLiM) are short peptides that facilitate protein function and protein-protein interactions. Viruses utilize these motifs to enter into the host, interact with cellular proteins, or egress from host cells. Studying functional motifs may help to predict protein characteristics, interactions, or the putative cellular role of a protein. In virology, it may reveal aspects of the...
متن کاملEndocytosis of viruses and bacteria.
Of the many pathogens that infect humans and animals, a large number use cells of the host organism as protected sites for replication. To reach the relevant intracellular compartments, they take advantage of the endocytosis machinery and exploit the network of endocytic organelles for penetration into the cytosol or as sites of replication. In this review, we discuss the endocytic entry proces...
متن کاملOxidative mechanisms utilized by human neutrophils to destroy Escherichia coli.
Serum-opsonized bacteria are efficiently ingested and killed by neutrophils within the phagocytic vacuole, where they are exposed to an array of reactive oxygen metabolites and toxic lysosomal components. Although bacteria may be destroyed by oxygen-independent mechanisms alone, many types of bacteria are not killed effectively unless they are attacked by oxygen metabolites. However, the appare...

متن کاملMechanisms of endocytosis.
Endocytic mechanisms control the lipid and protein composition of the plasma membrane, thereby regulating how cells interact with their environments. Here, we review what is known about mammalian endocytic mechanisms, with focus on the cellular proteins that control these events. We discuss the well-studied clathrin-mediated endocytic mechanisms and dissect endocytic pathways that proceed indep...
