| Abstract | Inducible synthesis of poliovirus protein 2BC in Saccharomyces cerevisiae arrests cell growth in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, while no effects are observed upon expression of poliovirus genes 2B or 2C, either individually or in combination. Expression of 2BC induces a number of morphological modifications in yeast cells, one of the most striking being the proliferation of small membranous vesicles that fill most of the cytoplasm. These vesicles are morphologically similar to the cytopathic vacuoles that proliferate during the infection of human cells by poliovirus. The transport and processing of several yeast proteins, including vacuolar carboxypeptidase Y, aminopeptidase I or yeast alpha-mating factor, is hampered upon expression of poliovirus 2BC, suggesting that transport of proteins through the Golgi apparatus is impaired by this viral protein. Finally, a number of 2BC variants were generated and the effects of their expression on yeast growth, cellular morphology and protein processing were analyzed. 2BC variants defective in the NTPase activity were still able to interfere with yeast growth and the exocytic system, while deletion of 30 amino acids at the N-terminus of 2BC impairs its function. These findings lend support to the idea that 2BC, but not 2B or 2C, is the protein responsible for vesicle proliferation in poliovirus-infected cells. In addition, the activity of a human virus protein in yeast cells opens new avenues to investigate the exact location at which poliovirus 2BC interferes with the vesicular system and to test the action of other animal virus proteins potentially involved in modifying the vesicular system in mammalian cells. |

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.
