| Abstract | Rotavirus NSP4 is a viral enterotoxin capable of causing diarrhea in neonatal mice. This process is initiated by the binding of extracellular NSP4 to target molecule(s) on the cell surface that triggers a signaling cascade leading to diarrhea. We now report that the integrins α1β1 and α2β1 are receptors for NSP4. NSP4 specifically binds to the α1 and α2 I domains with apparent K d = 1–2.7 μM. Binding is mediated by the I domain metal ion-dependent adhesion site motif, requires Mg2+ or Mn2+, is abolished with EDTA, and an NSP4 point mutant, E120A, fails to bind α2 integrin I domain. NSP4 has two distinct integrin interaction domains. NSP4 amino acids 114–130 are essential for binding to the I domain, and NSP4 peptide 114–135 blocks binding of the natural ligand, collagen I, to integrin α2. NSP4 amino acids 131–140 are not associated with the initial binding to the I domain, but elicit signaling that leads to the spreading of attached C2C12-α2 cells, mouse myoblast cells stably expressing the human α2 integrin. NSP4 colocalizes with integrin α2 on the basolateral surface of rotavirus-infected polarized intestinal epithelial (Caco-2) cells as well as surrounding noninfected cells. NSP4 mutants that fail to bind or signal through integrin α2 were attenuated in diarrhea induction in neonatal mice. These results indicate that NSP4 interaction with integrin α1 and α2 is an important component of enterotoxin function and rotavirus pathogenesis, further distinguishing this viral virulence factor from other microbial enterotoxins. |

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.
