| Abstract | The human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoproteins are the principal components involved in virion receptor binding, membrane penetration, and ultimately, syncytium formation. While the requirement for both F and HN in this process has been determined from recombinant expression studies, stable physical association of these proteins in coimmunoprecipitation studies has not been observed. In addition, coexpression of other heterologous paramyxovirus F or HN glycoproteins with either HPIV3 F or HN does not result in the formation of syncytia, suggesting serotype-specific protein differences. In this study, we report that simian virus 5 and Sendai virus heterologous HN proteins and measles virus hemagglutinin (H) were found to be down-regulated when coexpressed with HPIV3 F. As an alternative to detecting physical associations of these proteins by coimmunoprecipitation, further studies were performed with a mutant HPIV3 F protein (F-KDEL) lacking a transmembrane anchor and cytoplasmic tail and containing a carboxyl-terminal retention signal for the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). F-KDEL was defective for transport to the cell surface and could down-regulate surface expression of HPIV3 HN and heterologous HN/H proteins from simian virus 5, Sendai virus, and measles virus in coexpression experiments. HN/H down-regulation appeared to result, in part, from an early block to HPIV3 HN synthesis, as well as an instability of the heterologous HN/H proteins within the ER. In contrast, coexpression of F-KDEL with HPIV3 wild-type F or the heterologous receptor-binding proteins, respiratory syncytial virus glycoprotein (G) and vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (G), were not affected in transport to the cell surface. Together, these results support the notion that the reported serotype-specific restriction of syncytium formation may involve, in part, down-regulation of heterologous HN expression. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
