Mechanism of entry into the cytosol of poliovirus type 1: requirement for low pH
The effect of a number of drugs and culture conditions on the entry into cells of a strain of poliovirus 1 (Brunende) was tested. The cells were exposed in the dark to light-sensitive, neutral red-containing virus, in the presence of the drug to be tested. Then the cells were exposed to light, transferred to normal medium, and incubated overnight. Cytopathogenic effect was measured as inhibitio...
متن کاملDiphtheria toxin entry into cells is facilitated by low pH
At neutral pH, NH4Cl and chloroquine protected cells against diphtheria toxin. A brief exposure of the cells to low pH (4.5-5.5) at 37 degrees completely abolished this protection. When, to cells preincubated with diphtheria toxin and NH4Cl, neutralizing amounts of anti-diphtheria toxin were added before the pH was lowered, the toxic effect was considerably reduced, but it was not completely ab...
متن کاملVaccinia virus entry into cells via a low-pH-dependent endosomal pathway.
Previous studies established that vaccinia virus could enter cells by fusion with the plasma membrane at neutral pH. However, low pH triggers fusion of vaccinia virus-infected cells, a hallmark of viruses that enter by the endosomal route. Here, we demonstrate that entry of mature vaccinia virions is accelerated by brief low-pH treatment and severely reduced by inhibitors of endosomal acidifica...
متن کاملImaging Poliovirus Entry in Live Cells
Viruses initiate infection by transferring their genetic material across a cellular membrane and into the appropriate compartment of the cell. The mechanisms by which animal viruses, especially nonenveloped viruses, deliver their genomes are only poorly understood. This is due in part to technical difficulties involved in direct visualization of viral gene delivery and to uncertainties in disti...
متن کاملRequirements for RNA replication of a poliovirus replicon by coxsackievirus B3 RNA polymerase.
A chimeric poliovirus type 1 (PV1) genome was constructed in which the 3D RNA polymerase (3D(pol)) coding sequences were replaced with those from coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). No infectious virus was produced from HeLa cells transfected with the chimeric RNA. Processing of the PV1 capsid protein precursor was incomplete, presumably due to inefficient recognition of the P1 protein substrate by the c...
