Chapter 19, Problem 10TYU
Summary Introduction
To explain: How neuraminidase inhibitor drug Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) helps in prevention of flu or reduces disease course of flu in a flu patient.
Introduction: An antiviral drug, Oseltamivir (Tamiflu), is recommended for patients infected by the influenza virus. Influenza virus is an RNA virus belonging to the family of Orthomyxoviridae. This virus produces flu with symptoms such as fever, sore throat, and coughing. Oseltamivir is a drug that inhibits the enzyme neuraminidase.

Here we show that viroporin activity of influenza virus M2 or encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) 2B protein triggers translocation of mtDNA into the cytosol in a MAVS-dependent manner. Although influenza virus-induced cytosolic mtDNA stimulates cGAS- and DDX41- dependent innate immune responses, the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of influenza virus associates with mtDNA to evade the STING-dependent antiviral immunity. The STINGdependent antiviral signaling is amplified in neighboring cells through gap junctions. In addition, we find that STING-dependent recognition of influenza virus is essential for limiting virus replication in vivo. Our results show a mechanism by which influenza virus stimulates mtDNA release…arrow_forward

More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The figure shows the number of cells that have clusters of IRE1 molecules after those cells are treated with various levels of thapsigargin (Tg), a chemical that can induce ER stress. IRE1 can form these clusters when ER stress is induced and this clustering can cause activation of RNAse activity in IRE1. In this experiment, normal IRE1 was used (IRE1α) that can bind to Sec61, along with a modified version of IRE1 that binds to Sec61 more weakly than normal IRE1 (wIRE1α), and another modified version that binds to Sec61 more strongly than normal IRE1 (sIRE1α). From this figure you can conclude that: Question 18 options: IRE1 binding to Sec61 promotes the formation of IRE1 clumps IRE1 binding to Sec61 prevents the formation of IRE1 clumps co-translational translocation is a key process the golgi aparatus is heavily involved in the unfolded protein response The…arrow_forward
