Leaky Scanning02:28

Leaky Scanning

4.5K
During most eukaryotic translation processes, the small 40S ribosome subunit scans an mRNA from its 5' end until it encounters the first start AUG codon. The large 60S ribosomal subunit then joins the smaller one to initiate protein synthesis. The location of the translation initiation is largely determined by the nucleotides near the start codon as there may be multiple translation initiation sites present on the mRNA.  Marilyn Kozak discovered that the sequence RCCAUGG (where R...

Fluid Mosaic Model01:19

Fluid Mosaic Model

14.6K
Scientists identified the plasma membrane in the 1890s and its principal chemical components (lipids and proteins) by 1915. The model for plasma membrane structure, proposed in 1935 by Hugh Davson and James Danielli, was the first model to be widely accepted in the scientific community. The model was based on the plasma membrane's "railroad track" appearance in early electron micrographs. Davson and Danielli theorized that the plasma membrane's structure resembled a sandwich...

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria

3.0K
Intracellular bacteria and viruses often comprise a group of highly infectious pathogens that can cause several diseases. Bacterial pathogens include those belonging to the genus Rickettsia responsible for conditions such as rocky mountain spotted fever and the Mediterranean spotted fever; Chlamydia, a genus responsible for a sexually transmitted disease; Coxiella burnetii, an agent responsible for Q fever. Viral pathogens include vaccinia—a poxvirus, and herpes simplex virus—a...

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies01:38

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

4.0K
Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are small vesicles 50-80 nm in diameter formed during the maturation of early endosomes. A specialized endosome containing numerous ILVs is called a multivesicular body (MVB). ILVs contain internalized molecules such as antigens, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Some of these molecules are released from the MVBs inside exosomes and are transported to other cells. Other MVBs contain molecules that are retained in the ILVs and are later degraded within the...

Subviral Agents01:29

Subviral Agents

933
Subviral agents are infectious entities that resemble viruses but lack one or more viral components, such as a capsid or essential replication machinery. These agents include viroids, prions, and satellites, each possessing distinct structural and functional characteristics that influence their mode of infection and replication.Viroids are the simplest subviral agents, consisting of circular, single-stranded RNA molecules without a protein coat. They exclusively infect plants, relying entirely...

Influenza01:27

Influenza

87
Influenza is an acute, highly communicable viral disease that affects the respiratory tract and is responsible for seasonal epidemics worldwide. Influenza A is the most prevalent type associated with widespread outbreaks and is subtyped based on two surface glycoproteins: hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), as in H1N1. These glycoproteins are essential for viral infectivity, transmission, and immune recognition. Transmission occurs primarily through respiratory droplets and contaminated...

Summary

Influenza virions contain nine viral proteins and 36 host proteins, including cytoskeletal and membrane-bound types. This finding offers new targets for antiviral drugs and vaccine development.

Area of Science:

  • Virology
  • Proteomics
  • Cell Biology

Background:

  • Virions are traditionally considered to contain only essential viral proteins for replication and egress.
  • Previous studies on other enveloped viruses indicated the presence of host cell proteins within virions.
  • The composition of influenza virions regarding host proteins remained incompletely understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a comprehensive proteomic analysis of purified influenza virus particles.
  • To identify and characterize host-encoded proteins present in influenza virions.
  • To explore the implications of host protein incorporation for virus-host interactions and therapeutic strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized two complementary mass spectrometry approaches for proteomic analysis.
  • Employed protease treatment and immunoblot analysis to verify host protein presence and location.
  • Applied immunogold labeling to confirm the localization of membrane-bound host proteins on the viral envelope.

Main Results:

  • Identified the nine known viral proteins and 36 host-encoded proteins within purified influenza virions.
  • Detected various host proteins, including cytoskeletal proteins, annexins, glycolytic enzymes, and tetraspanins.
  • Confirmed the presence of membrane-bound host proteins on the influenza virus envelope.

Conclusions:

  • Influenza virions are comprised of both viral and a significant number of host-encoded proteins.
  • The identified host proteins provide insights into virus-host interactions and viral replication requirements.
  • Host proteins within virions represent potential novel targets for antiviral drug development and virus attenuation for vaccines.
