Rubella virus contains three major structural polypeptides: two membrane glycoproteins, E1 and E2 and a single nonglycosylated RNA-associated capsid protein, C, within the virion. One of the envelope proteins, E1, is responsible for viral hemagglutination and neutralization.
8 sie 2023 · Rubella virus encodes two non-structural proteins (p90 and p150) and three structural proteins; glycoprotein (E1 and E2) and the capsid protein (CP). The E1 protein is responsible for receptor-mediated endocytosis and induces the immune response through hemagglutination-neutralizing epitopes.
26 kwi 2021 · This review concentrates on recent work on RUBV, focusing on the virion, its structural components, and its entry, fusion, and assembly mechanisms. Important features of RUBV are compared with those of viruses from other families.
26 kwi 2021 · This review focuses on the life cycle of RUBV with emphasis on recent findings on the structures of the virus particle and its component proteins and on the mechanisms of virus entry, fusion, assembly, and budding.
Rubella virus is an enveloped RNA virus with a single antigenic type that does not cross-react with other togaviruses. Rubella virus can be grown in several common laboratory cell lines. Sequencing of the ∼10 000 nucleotide long, single-stranded rubella genome has been completed.
14 maj 2024 · Key facts. Rubella is a contagious viral infection transmitted by airborne droplets that occurs most often in children and young adults. Rubella is the leading vaccine-preventable cause of birth defects, accounting for an estimated 100 000 infants born with congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) each year worldwide.
The genome structure of rubella virus is showed in Fig. 1. The capsid of rubella virus virions is formed by C protein that is able to block infected cells’ proteins’ functions, and provides immune response and programmed cell death [20] .
