DIRECT INTERACTION OF THE MOLECULAR CHAPERONE GRP78/BIP WITH THE NEWCASTLE DISEASE VIRUS HEMAGGLUTININ-NEURAMINIDASE PROTEIN PLAYS A VITAL ROLE IN VIRAL ATTACHMENT TO AND INFECTION OF CULTURE CELLS

Direct interaction of the molecular chaperone GRP78/BiP with the Newcastle disease virus hemagglutinin-neuraminidase protein plays a vital role in viral attachment to and infection of culture cells

IntroductionGlucose Grains Regulated Proteins/Binding protein (GRP78/Bip), a representative molecular chaperone, effectively influences and actively participates in the replication processes of many viruses.Little is known, however, about the functional involvement of GRP78 in the replication of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) and the underlying mech

Differential gene expression in liver and small intestine from lactating rats compared to age-matched virgin controls detects increased mRNA of cholesterol biosynthetic genes

Abstract Background Lactation increases energy demands four- to five-fold, leading to a two- to three-fold increase in food consumption, requiring a proportional adjustment in the ability of the lactating dam to absorb nutrients and to synthesize critical biomolecules, such as cholesterol, to meet the dietary needs of both the offspring and the dam
