TY - T1 - Purification of Highly Active Alphavirus Replication Complexes Demonstrates Altered Fractionation of Multiple Cellular Membranes SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/298263 T3 - A1 - Pietila, Maija K.; van Hemert, Martijn J.; Ahola, Tero A2 - PB - Y1 - 2018 LA - eng AB - Positive-strand RNA viruses replicate their genomes in membrane-associated structures; alphaviruses and many other groups induce membrane invaginations called spherules. Here, we established a protocol to purify these membranous replication complexes (RCs) from cells infected with Semliki Forest virus (SFV). We isolated SFV spherules located on the plasma membrane and further purified them using two consecutive density gradients. This revealed that SFV infection strongly modifies cellular membra...
