Receptor-mediated Endocytosis01:20

Receptor-mediated Endocytosis

6.8K
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.

Introduction to Virus

458
Viruses are unique biological entities that blur the boundary between living and non-living systems. Although they lack cellular structure and metabolic processes, they can exhibit characteristics of life when infecting a host. Their defining feature is a nucleic acid core, composed of either DNA or RNA, encapsulated within a protein coat called a capsid. This simple structure allows them to invade host cells and use their machinery for replication efficiently.Viral Structure and...

Viruses with RNA Genomes

246
RNA viruses are categorized into positive-strand, negative-strand, or double-stranded groups based on their genomic structure and replication mechanisms. This classification dictates how they exploit host cellular machinery for protein synthesis and replication. Some RNA viruses also utilize reverse transcription as part of their life cycle, further diversifying their replication strategies.Positive-Strand RNA VirusesPositive-strand RNA viruses have genomes that function directly as messenger...

Viral Structure

67.3K
Viruses are extraordinarily diverse in shape and size, but they all have several structural features in common. All viruses have a core that contains a DNA- or RNA-based genome. The core is surrounded by a protective coat of proteins called the capsid. The capsid is composed of subunits called capsomeres. The capsid and genome-containing core are together known as the nucleocapsid.

Leaky Scanning02:28

Leaky Scanning

5.3K
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...

Resumen

La entrada del virus de la hepatitis C (VHC) implica la unión de la glicoproteína E2 al receptor CD81. El bajo pH y la unión a CD81 inducen cambios conformacionales en E2, facilitando la fusión de la membrana viral.

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Virología
  • Biología estructural
  • Biología celular

Sus antecedentes:

  • El virus de la hepatitis C (VHC) causa enfermedad hepática crónica, cirrosis y cáncer de hígado, que afecta a más de 70 millones de personas en todo el mundo.
  • Las glicoproteínas E1 y E2 de la envoltura del VHC median la entrada viral, pero el mecanismo preciso sigue sin estar claro.
  • Los anticuerpos neutralizantes a menudo se dirigen a la interacción de la glicoproteína E2 con el gran bucle extracelular del receptor CD81 (CD81-LEL).

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Elucidar los mecanismos estructurales y moleculares de la entrada del VHC.
  • Investigar el papel del pH y la unión a CD81 en la interacción entre el VHC E2 y el CD81-LEL.
  • Determinar la base estructural para la fusión de la membrana mediada por E2.

Principales métodos:

  • Se utilizó la cristalografía de rayos X para determinar las estructuras de los complejos E2.
  • Se realizaron estudios de mutagenesis en los principales residuos de E2.
  • Los ensayos de flotación de liposomas evaluaron la interacción de E2 con las membranas.

Principales resultados:

  • Un pH bajo aumenta la unión de CD81-LEL a la glicoproteína E2.
  • Las estructuras cristalinas revelaron cambios conformacionales en E2 al unirse a CD81-LEL, desplazando los residuos 418-422 y extendiendo un bucle interno (520-539).
  • Los residuos específicos de E2 (Tyr529, Trp531, Ile422) son cruciales para la interacción de la membrana, que es promovida por el bajo pH y el CD81-LEL.

Conclusiones:

  • La acidificación y la unión a CD81-LEL inducen un desplazamiento conformacional en E2.
  • Este cambio de conformación inicia E2 para la fusión de la membrana, lo que representa un paso clave en la entrada del VHC.
  • Los hallazgos proporcionan un modelo molecular para la interacción de la membrana celular del HCV con el huésped.
