The surface glycoprotein (G) of Borna disease virus (BDV) plays central roles in the process of viral entry. BDV G is cleaved by cellular furin-like proteases into two components, GP1 and GP2. Although GP1 is involved in the virus entry into cells, the binding activity of GP1 to cells is unknown.
Persistent tolerant infection of rats with borna disease virus (BDV) results in a central nervous system (CNS) disease characterized by behavioral abnormalities. These disorders occur without inflammation and widespread cytolysis in the CNS. Therefore, mechanisms other than virally induced
Borna disease virus (BDV) is a non-segmented negative-stranded RNA virus that maintains a strictly neurotropic and persistent infection in affected end hosts. The primary target cells for BDV infection are brain cells, e.g. neurons and astrocytes. The exact mechanism of how infection is propagated
Open reading frame IV (ORF-IV) of Borna disease virus (BDV) encodes a protein with a calculated molecular mass of ca. 57 kDa (p57), which increases after N glycosylation to 94 kDa (gp94). The unglycosylated and glycosylated proteins are proteolytically cleaved by the subtilisin-like protease furin.
The only surface membrane glycoprotein of Borna disease virus (BDV) is synthesized as a polypeptide with a molecular mass of 57 kDa and N-glycosylated to a precursor glycoprotein (GP) of about 94 kDa. It is processed by the cellular protease furin into the C-terminal membrane-anchored subunit GP-C,
Borna disease virus (BDV) surface glycoprotein (GP) (p56) has a predicted molecular mass of 56 kDa. Due to extensive posttranslational glycosylation the protein migrates as a polypeptide of 84 kDa (gp84). The processing of gp84 by the cellular protease furin generates gp43, which corresponds to the
Borna disease virus (BDV) is an enveloped virus with a nonsegmented negative-strand RNA genome whose organization is characteristic of Mononegavirales. BDV cell entry follows a receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway, which is initiated by the recognition of an as-yet-unidentified receptor at the cell
Borna disease virus (BDV) is a nonsegmented negative-stranded (NNS) RNA virus, prototype of a new taxon in the Mononegavirales order. BDV causes neurologic disease manifested by behavioral abnormalities in several animal species, and evidence suggests that it may be a human pathogen. To improve our
We have investigated the entry pathway of Borna disease virus (BDV). Virus entry was assessed by detecting early viral replication and transcription. Lysosomotropic agents (ammonium chloride, chloroquine, and amantadine), as well as energy depletion, prevented BDV infection, indicating that BDV
The biochemical purification and analysis of viral ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs) of negative-strand RNA viruses is hampered by the lack of suitable tags that facilitate specific enrichment of these complexes. We therefore tested whether fusion of the tandem-affinity-purification (TAP) tag to
BACKGROUND
Borna disease virus (BDV) is the type member of the Bornaviridae, a family of viruses that induce often fatal neurological diseases in horses, sheep and other animals, and have been proposed to have roles in certain psychiatric diseases of humans. The BDV glycoprotein (G) is an
