Brophy shares his thinking about the elements of an integral education. Health updates from CIHS. Recent Posts. Jeffery A. Special Orientation Meeting with Dr. CIHS is on pressrelease. ESCRT components clearly have an important role in the release of many, but certainly not all enveloped viruses.
Important exceptions are the herpesvirus human cytomegalovirus Fraile-Ramos et al. These viruses may recruit alternative cellular machinery or employ viral proteins mediating membrane scission.
A recent study revealed that the influenza virus M2 protein contains an amphipathic helix that is necessary and sufficient for vesiculation in vitro and for influenza virus budding in tissue culture Rossman et al. M2 is a trans -membrane protein that forms a homotetramer with proton-selective ion channel activitiy in the virion membrane. Rossman et al. Furthermore, M2 localizes to the neck of influenza virus buds in virus-producing cells and mutation of its amphipathic helix leads to late budding arrest similar to late domain mutations in other enveloped viruses.
The influenza virus membrane is enriched in cholesterol and is likely to be more l o than the surrounding plasma membrane, creating line tension at the phase boundary demarcating the viral bud Kozlov M2 appears to specifically sort to this phase boundary and may modulate line tension by membrane interaction of its amphipathic helices.
This suggests the following model: the influenza surface protein HA induces membrane bending Chen and Lamb and recruits the matrix protein M1, which in turn recruits the M2 tetramer. M2 preferentially sorts to the phase boundary of phase-separated membranes, which leads to its concentration at the bud neck and promotes membrane scission and virus release. Lipids have long been known as structural elements of viral and cellular membranes, but recent studies revealed their involvement in the intricate virus-cell interaction in many more ways.
Thus, lipids have been shown to play a role at various stages in viral replication, including entry, uncoating, genome replication, assembly, and release. Technical advances in lipid identification and quantitation, in lipid imaging and concerning the knockdown of factors involved in lipid metabolism made this progress possible and paved the ground for future detailed analyses of lipid involvement in viral replication. Given the high number of very recent advances published in and , it is easy to predict that this area of research is only in its infancy and many more exciting discoveries lie ahead.
Understanding the manifold roles of lipids in viral replication also led to the discovery of lipid-active compounds as potential antivirals, but current compounds largely lack specificity and are thus unacceptably toxic.
Exploiting specific lipid requirements of individual pathogens or whole virus groups and delineating the intricate interactions of these pathogens with cellular lipids and the modification of their respective metabolism may, however, provide new approaches for antiviral therapies in the future.

Oligopeptide inhibitors of HIV-induced syncytium formation. Think of the two poles of a magnet, positive and negative — attracting and repelling. The soap molecule is just like that. It mixes with the clothing being washed, causes a separation of oil and other stains, loosens them and they are freed from the bond to the clothing.
They are called surfactants. The same happens when washing your hands. Therefore, surfactant contains both a water-insoluble or oil-soluble component and a water-soluble component. But now you are dealing with a virus. Did you know that scientists are not sure if viruses are animate or inanimate?
Are they live or not live? This is because they do not classify properly as living cells. But that is not important. What is important is that they can do great damage, are highly reckless and go out of control, and can hardly be stopped. This is because they have a strong protective coating. A lipid coating that nothing can penetrate. Well, almost nothing! Soap can. In simple terms the Corona Virus [not all viruses] has a lipid coating over its protein protective layer which is damaged and even dissolved by soap.
The lipids are made of oils or fats and are hydrophobic and the proteins are nitrogen compounds that are hydrophilic.
The pin head and tail of the soap molecule creates a disturbance into these layers of the virus, damaging it and then destroying it.
Do refer to this easy-to-understand article by Palli Thordarson dt. April 8 th , , to learn how it works. Soap works on the outside. Disinfectants do NOT work from the inside, no matter who says what.
Let us see what can work from the inside on the lipid coating of viruses. Even the human immune system without exposure is not able to penetrate and damage or kill viruses. Only vaccines or inoculations build up specific antibodies, which can. Furthermore, medical science has developed specific medicines for specific viruses. It is a fatty acid, which gives good protection to the infant against most illnesses.
