Secretory IgA (SIgA) antibody is unique for its capability to transit through epithelial cells by transcytosis and thus has opportunities and probabilities to interact with all viral components during viral replication which may result in the inhibition of viral replication intracellularly. Here, we
The human cell surface protein CD46 is the main measles virus (MV) receptor. We analyzed the CD46 isoforms expressed in the brain of three patients who died with persistent MV infections and in an unaffected brain. Complete CD46 cDNAs were produced and found to code exclusively for CD46 isoforms
The highly contagious measles virus infects millions of individuals worldwide, causing serious disease in children of developing countries. Infection is initiated by attachment of the measles virus hemagglutinin (MV-H), a glycoprotein anchored to the virus envelope, to the host cell receptors CD46
The linear haemagglutinin noose epitope (HNE; aa 379-410) is a protective B-cell epitope and considered to be highly conserved in both the vaccine and the wild-type measles virus (MeV) haemagglutinin (H) proteins. Vaccine virus-derived monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) BH6 and BH216, which target the
Human CD46, a member of the family of regulators of complement activation, has been shown recently to act as a measles virus (MV) receptor, interacting with the virus envelope glycoprotein haemagglutinin (HA). Owing to alternative RNA splicing, several CD46 isoforms are co-expressed in all tissues
To wished to characterize the hemagglutinin (H) gene of the measles virus epidemic strain H1a in Liaoning Province (China) from 1997-2014 to provide a basis for the control and elimination of measles. All 63 measles virus strains were the H1a genotype. Fragments of the H gene (1854 nucleotides) and
Measles AIK-C vaccine strain exhibits temperature-sensitivity (ts). To identify the structural proteins, which contribute to the ts property of AIK-C virus, reverse genetics was used. MV-minigenome RNA was replicated at 32.5, 37, and 39 degrees C when the plasmids expressing N, P, and L proteins of
The fusion (F) glycoproteins of measles virus strains Edmonston (MV-Edm) and wtF (MV-wtF) confer distinct cytopathic effects and strengths of hemagglutinin (H) interaction on a recombinant MV-Edm virus. They differ in just two amino acids, V94 and V101 in F-Edm versus M94 and F101 in F-wtF, both of
BACKGROUND
Recent theoretical and computational studies have shown that the charge content and, most importantly, the linear distribution of opposite charges are major determinants of conformational properties of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Charge segregation in a sequence can be
The matrix (M) protein of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a highly conserved hydrophobic viral protein. In some paramyxoviruses (measles virus and Sendai virus), the paired glycine (G) near the C terminus of the M protein may form a turn that mediates the specific interaction with the cell
This paper corrects the previously published sequence of the L gene of canine distemper virus (CDV). Errors in the published sequence (M. S. Sidhu et al., 1993, Virology 193, 50-65) led to frame shifts between residues 1021-1032, 1190-1219 and 1645-1650; a deletion of 21 amino acids between residues
