Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies01:38

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

5.1K
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...

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis01:20

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis

11.3K
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is when bulk amounts of specific molecules are imported into a cell after binding to cell surface receptors. The molecules bound to these receptors are taken into the cell through inward folding of the cell surface membrane, which is eventually pinched off into a vesicle within the cell. Structural proteins, such as clathrin, coat the budding vesicle.

One well-characterized example of receptor-mediated endocytosis is the...

Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles01:32

Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles

4.4K
Vesicle budding is orchestrated by distinct cytosolic proteins such as adaptor proteins, coat proteins, and GTPases. To initiate vesicle budding, membrane-bending proteins containing crescent-shaped BAR domains bind to the lipid heads in the bilayer and distort the membrane to form a protein-coated vesicle bud. Adaptors proteins such as AP2 for clathrin-coated vesicles can nucleate on the deformed membrane. Finally, coat proteins such as clathrin or COPI and COPII assemble into a coat forming...

Retrovirus Life Cycles01:10

Retrovirus Life Cycles

50.3K
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...

Intracellular Movement of Viruses and Bacteria

3.8K
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...

Vesicular Tubular Clusters01:45

Vesicular Tubular Clusters

3.3K
After budding out from the ER membrane, some COPII vesicles lose their coat and fuse with one another to form larger vesicles and interconnected tubules called vesicular tubular clusters or VTCs. These clusters constitute a compartment at the ER-Golgi interface known as ERGIC (Endoplasmic Reticulum Golgi Intermediate Compartment). The ERGIC is a mobile membrane-bound cargo transport system that sorts proteins secreted from ER and delivers them to the Golgi.
With the help of motor proteins such...

Summary

Human papillomavirus (HPV) uses cell transport during mitosis for DNA delivery. Viral DNA remains in vesicles until the nucleus reforms, suggesting a pathway for nuclear vesicle disposal.

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Virology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Human papillomavirus (HPV) infects cells and requires efficient mechanisms for DNA delivery.
  • Understanding viral entry and intracellular trafficking is crucial for developing antiviral strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the intracellular trafficking pathway of incoming human papillomavirus (HPV).
  • To elucidate the mechanism of viral DNA delivery during cell division (mitosis).

Main Methods:

  • Vesicular transport assays
  • Microscopy techniques to track viral DNA during mitosis
  • Analysis of viral DNA association with cellular components

Main Results:

  • HPV utilizes vesicular transport from the plasma membrane to the trans-Golgi network.
  • During mitosis, viral DNA associates with condensed chromosomes via spindle microtubules.
  • Crucially, viral DNA persists within a transport vesicle until nuclear envelope reformation post-mitosis.

Conclusions:

  • The findings support the transient existence of nuclear membrane-bound vesicles.
  • A cellular pathway likely exists for the disposal of vesicles within the nucleus, whether accidental or intentional.
