Visualizing influenza A virus assembly by in situ cryo-electron tomography - Nature Communications

|
By Moritz Wachsmuth-Melm, Aidan O’Riain, Jana Makroczyova, Silvia Vale-Costa
| Nature Verified
Abstract Influenza A virus (IAV) forms pleomorphic particles that package eight ribonucleoprotein complexes (vRNPs), each carrying a distinct RNA genome segment. vRNPs assemble in the nucleus and undergo selective sorting during Rab11a-mediated trafficking to the plasma membrane. Virion assembly is orchestrated by matrix protein 1 (M1), which forms a layer beneath the viral envelope containing hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA).

ATG9A regulates dissociation of recycling endosomes from microtubules leading to formation of influenza A virus liquid condensates

|
By Silvia Vale-Costa, Temitope Akhigbe Etibor, Daniela Brás, Mariana AM Ferreira
| BioRxiv
Abstract It is now established that many viruses that threaten public health establish condensates via phase transitions to complete their lifecycles, and knowledge on such processes may offer new strategies for antiviral therapy. In the case of influenza A virus (IAV), liquid condensates known as viral inclusions, concentrate the 8 distinct viral ribonucleoproteins (vRNPs) that form IAV genome and are viewed as sites dedicated to the assembly of the 8-partite genomic complex.
