The rotavirus enterotoxin NSP4 directly interacts with the caveolar structural protein caveolin-1.
Rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is known to function as an intracellular receptor at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) critical to viral morphogenesis and is the first characterized viral enterotoxin. Exogenously added NSP4 induces diarrhea in rodent pups and stimulates secretory chloride currents across intestinal segments as measured in Ussing chambers. Circular dichroism studies furthe...
متن کاملElucidation of the Rotavirus NSP4-Caveolin-1 and -Cholesterol Interactions Using Synthetic Peptides
Rotavirus (RV) NSP4, the first described viral enterotoxin, is a multifunctional glycoprotein that contributes to viral pathogenesis, morphogenesis, and replication. NSP4 binds both termini of caveolin-1 and is isolated from caveolae fractions that are rich in anionic phospholipids and cholesterol. These interactions indicate that cholesterol/caveolin-1 plays a role in NSP4 transport to the cel...
متن کاملThe molecular chaperone calnexin interacts with the NSP4 enterotoxin of rotavirus in vivo and in vitro.
Calnexin is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated molecular chaperone proposed to promote folding and assembly of glycoproteins that traverse the secretory pathway in eukaryotic cells. In this study we examined if calnexin interacts with the ER-associated luminal (VP7) and transmembrane (NSP4) proteins of rotavirus. Only glycosylated NSP4 interacted with calnexin and did so in a time-depende...
متن کاملInvolvement of sequences near both amino and carboxyl termini in the rapid intracellular degradation of tyrosine aminotransferase.
The degradation of rat liver tyrosine aminotransferase has been studied after transfection of suitable expression vectors into mammalian cells in culture. A normal rapid rate of degradation (half-life about 6 h) was observed in cells under stable transfection conditions. However, the higher enzyme levels produced during transient transfections or after amplification with methotrexate caused the...
متن کاملBoth the amino and carboxyl termini of Dictyostelium myosin essential light chain are required for binding to myosin heavy chain.
Dictyostelium myosin deficient in the essential light chain (ELC) does not function normally either in vivo or in vitro (Pollenz, R. S., Chen, T. L., Trivinos-Lagos, L., and Chisholm, R. L. (1992) Cell 69, 951-962). Since normal myosin function requires association of ELC, we investigated the domains of ELC that are necessary for binding to the myosin heavy chain (MHC). Deleting the NH2-termina...
