It is subsequently lost, together with VP4, following virus entry into the host cell. The outer layer contains 780 copies of VP7, grouped as 260 trimers. Rotavirus attachment and entry into the host cell probably involves multiple sequential contacts between the outer capsid proteins VP4 and VP7, and the cell receptors. In integrin-dependent strains, VP7 seems to essentially target the integrin heterodimers ITGAX/ITGB2 and ITGA5/ITGB3 at a postbinding stage, once the initial attachment by VP4 has been achieved (By similarity). Publication Abstract from PubMed Infectious cell entry by non-enveloped viruses requires delivery of the viral genome -- in many cases enclosed within a large, subviral particle -- across the membrane of an intracellular compartment. Rotaviruses and other double-strand RNA (dsRNA) viruses introduce into their target cells an inner capsid particle, roughly 700 A in diameter, that does not uncoat further but instead extrudes capped viral mRNA by virtue of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and capping activities within it. The delivery agent is an outer protein layer of the virion. We describe here use of cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) to visualize the full course of rhesus rotavirus (RRV) entry, from cell attachment and inward budding of the virion to arrival of the subviral particle in the cytosol. The cryo-tomograms and subtomogram averaging of classified subparticles have enabled us to link high-resolution structures of the virion and its components with time series from live-cell fluorescence microscopy and thus to outline the molecular mechanism of each step in the entry process, including the hitherto elusive membrane perforation step needed for transfer of the subviral particle into the cytosol.
