The effect of PLC-inhibitor on echovirus 1 internalization probed with fluorescently labeled echovirus 1
2014
Echovirus 1 (EV1) kuuluu Pikornavirusperheeseen ja tarkemmin luokiteltuna Enterovirusten sukuun. EV1 on pieni ja vaipaton RNA-virus, jonka proteiinikuori koostuu neljästä proteiinista VP1-VP4. Infektion on osoitettu alkavan, kun EV1 tarttuu α2β1-integriiniin solun pinnalla, jonka jälkeen virus otetaan solun sisään kaveoliinivälitteistä endosytoosia sekä makropinosytoosia muistuttavalla mekanismilla. Toisaalta sitä, kuinka virus avautuu sekä vapauttaa RNA:nsa, ei vielä tarkalleen tiedetä. Tässä tutkimuksessa EV1 puhdistettiin ensin sakkaroosigradientilla, jonka jälkeen virus leimattiin fluoresoivalla amiinireaktiivisella värillä. Tulokset osoittivat, että leimauksen onnistumiseksi tarvitaan …

Binding and internalization of human papillomavirus type 33 virus-like particles by eukaryotic cells
1995
Infection of cells by human papillomaviruses (HPVs) associated with malignant genital lesions has not been studied because of the lack of an in vitro system and the unavailability of virions. We have now used virus-like particles (VLPs) of HPV type 33 to analyze the initial events in the interaction of the HPV capsid with cell lines. Binding of VLPs to HeLa cells was observed in biochemical assays and by immunofluorescence. VLP binding was inhibited by antisera raised against VLPs but not by monoclonal antibodies recognizing either L1 or L2 epitopes accessible on VLPs. Under saturating conditions, approximately 2 x 10(4) VLPs were bound per cell, with a dissociation constant of about 100 pM…
Human Papillomavirus Types 16, 18, and 31 Share Similar Endocytic Requirements for Entry
2013
ABSTRACT Human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV18), one of the HPVs with malignant potential, enters cells by an unknown endocytic mechanism. The key cellular requirements for HPV18 endocytosis were tested in comparison to those for HPV16 and -31 endocytoses. HPV18 (like HPV16 and -31) entry was independent of clathrin, caveolin, dynamin, and lipid rafts but required actin polymerization and tetraspanin CD151, and the viruses were routed to the same LAMP-1-positive compartment. Hence, the viruses shared similar cellular requirements for endocytic entry.
Clathrin- and Caveolin-Independent Entry of Human Papillomavirus Type 16—Involvement of Tetraspanin-Enriched Microdomains (TEMs)
2008
BACKGROUND: Infectious entry of human papillomaviruses into their host cells is an important step in the viral life cycle. For cell binding these viruses use proteoglycans as initial attachment sites. Subsequent transfer to a secondary receptor molecule seems to be involved in virus uptake. Depending on the papillomavirus subtype, it has been reported that entry occurs by clathrin- or caveolin-mediated mechanisms. Regarding human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16), the primary etiologic agent for development of cervical cancer, clathrin-mediated endocytosis was described as infectious entry pathway. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Using immunofluorescence and infection studies we show in contra…
