The C-Terminal Repeat Domains of nsP3 from the Old World Alphaviruses Bind Directly to G3BP
13 Mar 2014
Abstract excerpt
The Old World alphaviruses block stress granule assembly by sequestration of RasGAP SH3-domain binding protein (G3BP). Here, we show that the proline-rich sequences in the hypervariable domain of nonstructural protein 3 (nsP3) of both Semliki Forest virus and Chikungunya virus were dispensable for binding to G3BP. nsP3 variants with or without this domain colocalized with G3BP. Furthermore, we show that the...
