Abstract:
Ro ribonucleoprotein particles (Ro RNPs) are complexes of several proteins with a small RNA polymerase III-transcribed Ro RNA. Despite their relative abundance and evolutionary conservation no function has as yet been ascribed to these complexes. Also their subcellular distribution is still largely unknown as immunofluorescence studies concerning their localization have produced conflicting data. We have used cell enucleation to fractionate cells into cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions. Analysis of these fractions revealed an exclusively cytoplasmic localization for the Ro RNPs.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Several functions required for the replication of influenza A viruses have been attributed to the viral matrix protein (M1), and a number of studies have focused on a region of the M1 protein designated “helix six.” This region contains an exposed positively charged stretch of amino acids, including the motif 101-RKLKR-105, which has been identified as a nuclear localization signal, but several studies suggest that this domain is also involved in functions such as binding to the ribonucleoprotein genome segments (RNPs), membrane association, interaction with the viral nuclear export p

We have employed immunofluorescence microscopy and transmission electron microscopy to examine the assembly and maturation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in the Vero cell line C1008. RSV matures at the apical cell surface in a filamentous form that extends from the plasma membrane. We observed that inclusion bodies containing viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP) cores predominantly appeared immediately below the plasma membrane, from where RSV filaments form during maturation at the cell surface. A comparison of mock-infected and RSV-infected cells by confocal microscopy revealed a significant

ABSTRACT Enveloped virus particles are formed by budding from infected-cell membranes. For paramyxoviruses, viral matrix (M) proteins are key drivers of virus assembly and budding. However, other paramyxovirus proteins, including glycoproteins, nucleocapsid (NP or N) proteins, and C proteins, are also important for particle formation in some cases. To investigate the role of NP protein in parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) particle formation, NP protein truncation and substitution mutants were analyzed. Alterations near the C-terminal end of NP protein completely disrupted its virus-like particle (V

ABSTRACT Homo-oligomerization of the nucleoprotein (NP) of influenza A virus is crucial for providing a major structural framework for the assembly of viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles. The nucleoprotein is also essential for transcription and replication during the virus life cycle. In the H5N1 NP structure, the tail loop region is important for NP to form oligomers. Here, by an RNP reconstitution assay, we identified eight NP mutants that had different degrees of defects in forming functional RNPs, with the RNP activities of four mutants being totally abolished (E339A, V408S P410S, R41

The nucleolus is a distinct sub-cellular compartment structure in the nucleus. First observed more than 200 years ago, the nucleolus is detectable by microscopy in eukaryotic cells and visible during the interphase as a sub-nuclear structure immersed in the nucleoplasm, from which it is not separated from any membrane. A huge number of studies, spanning over a century, have identified ribosome biogenesis as the main function of the nucleolus. Recently, novel functions, independent from ribosome biogenesis, have been proposed by several proteomic, genomic, and functional studies. Several works

We observed that Rsa1 and Nufip bind several L7Ae proteins and tether them to other core proteins in the immature particles.
