Involvement of CA++ and Calmodulin in the Intracellular Migration of Influenza's Hemagglutinin to the Apical Surface of MDCK Cells (original) (raw)

Proceedings, annual meeting, Electron Microscopy Society of America, 1982

Abstract

The polarized distribution of surface components between apical and basolateral domains of the plasma membrane constitutes the basis of epithelial function. We are currently studying the mechanisms employed by epithelial cells to segregate different sets of integral proteins in two opposite regions of the plasma membrane. For this purpose, we are utilizing a model system which involves the infection of polarized epithelial cell lines, such as the dog kidney cell line MDCK, with enveloped RNA viruses. Influenza virus and two paramyxoviruses bud from the apical surface regions of MDCK cells, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), a rhabdovirus, is assembled instead from the basolateral surface. A main determinant of polarized budding appears to be the addressing of viral envelope glycoproteins to the surface domain that the virus utilizes for budding. The mechanisms and intracellular pathways involved in this sorting are probably the same as those utilized by the cell for its own surface p...
