Coxsackievirus A21 binds to decay-accelerating factor but requires intercellular adhesion molecule 1 for cell entry.
It is becoming increasingly apparent that many viruses employ multiple receptor molecules in their cell entry mechanisms. The human enterovirus coxsackievirus A21 (CAV21) has been reported to bind to the N-terminal domain of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and undergo limited replication in ICAM-1-expressing murine L cells. In this study, we show that in addition to binding to ICAM-1...
متن کاملDecay - Accelerating Factor - Release from Cell Membrane
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF) ~ is a membrane protein that inhibits amplification of the complement cascade on cell surfaces. By binding to C3b or C4b complement fragments that accidentally deposit on the cell membrane, DAF blocks the assembly of both the classical and alternative C3 and C5 convertases (1-3). In this manner, DAF protects host cells from damage by autologous complement. DAF is...
متن کاملApplications of coxsackievirus A21 in oncology
The clinical management of cancer continues to be dominated by macroscopic surgical resection, radiotherapy, and cytotoxic drugs. The major challenge facing oncology is to achieve more selective, less toxic and effective methods of targeting disseminated tumors, a challenge oncolytic virotherapy may be well-placed to meet. Characterization of coxsackievirus A21 (CVA21) receptor-based mechanism ...
متن کاملCoxsackievirus B3 adapted to growth in RD cells binds to decay-accelerating factor (CD55).
A coxsackievirus B3 (CB3) isolate adapted to growth in RD cells shows an alteration in cell tropism as a result of its capacity to bind a 70-kDa cell surface molecule expressed on these cells. We now show that this molecule is the complement regulatory protein, decay-accelerating factor (DAF) (CD55). Anti-DAF antibodies prevented CB3 attachment to the cell surface. Radiolabeled CB3 adapted to g...
متن کاملThe complete nucleotide sequence of coxsackievirus A21.
We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of coxsackievirus A21 (CAV-21), the first member of this enterovirus subgroup to be analysed in molecular detail. The sequence, which is 7401 nucleotides long, encodes an open reading frame of 2206 codons, preceded by a 5' non-coding region of 711 nucleotides and followed by a 3' non-coding region of 72 nucleotides plus a poly(A) tract. The mo...
