Hepatitis C Virus Entry Requires a Critical Postinternalization Step and Delivery to Early Endosomes via Clathrin-Coated Vesicles

TL;DR: Observations indicate that, subsequent to internalization, HCVpp entry necessitates additional, low-pH-dependent interactions, modifications, or trafficking, and that these events are irreversibly disrupted by bafilomycin A1 treatment.

Abstract: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major human pathogen associated with life-threatening liver disease. Entry into hepatocytes requires CD81 and a putative second receptor. In this study, we elucidated the postreceptor attachment stages of HCV entry using HCV pseudoparticles (HCVpp) as a model system. By means of dominant-negative mutants and short interfering RNAs of various cellular proteins, we showed that HCVpp enter via clathrin-coated vesicles and require delivery to early but not to late endosomes. However, the kinetics of HCV envelope glycoprotein-mediated fusion are delayed compared to those of other viruses that enter in early endosomes. Entry of HCVpp can be efficiently blocked by bafilomycin A1, which neutralizes the pH in early endosomes and impairs progression of endocytosis beyond this stage. However, low-pH exposure of bafilomycin A1-treated target cells does not induce entry of HCVpp at the plasma membrane or in the early stages of endocytosis. These observations indicate that, subsequent to internalization, HCVpp entry necessitates additional, low-pH-dependent interactions, modifications, or trafficking, and that these events are irreversibly disrupted by bafilomycin A1 treatment.

Stapled peptide-based membrane fusion inhibitors of hepatitis C virus
TL;DR: The results showed that the stapled peptides exhibited significantly higher α-helicity and proteolytic stability as compared to their linear peptide counterpart, and represented a new HCV membrane fusion inhibitor.
Hepatocyte Polarity
Aleksandr Treyer,Anne Muesch +1 more
TL;DR: Hepatocytes exhibit unique multipolar organization, distinct from other epithelia, with multiple lumina and basal surfaces, and utilize transcytosis for luminal protein trafficking, regulated by LKB1 and AMPK signaling pathways.

TL;DR: This work identified for the first time two cell types that supported HCVpp and HCVcc entry upon ectopic SR-BI expression and characterized alternative ectodomain determinants that abolish HDL-mediated infection-enhancement.
The hepatitis C virus glycan shield and evasion of the humoral immune response.
TL;DR: The recent description of the HCV glycan shield that reduces the immunogenicity of envelope proteins and masks conserved neutralizing epitopes at their surface constitutes the major focus of this review.

TL;DR: ‘Endocytosis’ encompasses several diverse mechanisms by which cells internalize macromolecules and particles into transport vesicles derived from the plasma membrane and must be viewed in a broader context than simple vesicular trafficking.

Caveolar endocytosis of simian virus 40 reveals a new two-step vesicular-transport pathway to the ER.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the existence of a two-step transport pathway from plasma-membrane caveolae, through an intermediate organelle (termed the caveosome), to the ER, which bypasses endosomes and the Golgi complex, and is part of the productive infectious route used by SV40.

Vpr is required for efficient replication of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 in mononuclear phagocytes.
TL;DR: It is shown that vpr is important for efficient viral replication in primary monocyte/macrophages, but appears to play no role in activated or resting T cell infection, and a role for vpr molecules produced in newly infected cells is suggested, in addition to its presumed function in the virion.
