Virally mediated membrane changes: inverse effects on transport and diffusion.

C A Pasternak, K J Micklem

    The Biochemical Journal
    |December 1, 1974
    PubMed
    Summary

    Sendai virus alters cell surfaces by reducing facilitated transport and increasing passive diffusion. These modifications impact how substances move across the cell membrane.

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Sendai virus is a well-known paramyxovirus.
    • Cell surface transport mechanisms are crucial for cellular function.
    • Viral infections can significantly alter host cell physiology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of Sendai virus infection on host cell surface transport.
    • To elucidate the specific mechanisms by which Sendai virus modifies cell surface transport.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized cell culture models infected with Sendai virus.
    • Assessed the rates of facilitated and passive transport of specific molecules across the cell membrane.
    • Employed techniques to analyze changes in cell surface properties.

    Main Results:

    • Sendai virus infection was found to inhibit the activity of facilitated transport systems.
    • The virus was observed to enhance the rate of passive diffusion across the cell membrane.
    • These combined effects represent a significant modification of cell surface permeability.

    Conclusions:

    • Sendai virus actively remodels the host cell surface.
    • The virus's modulation of transport mechanisms likely serves its replication or propagation.
    • Understanding these viral strategies offers insights into host-pathogen interactions.
