Formation of the viral envelope is an important step in the morphogenesis of enveloped viruses. Our data on the formation of hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope indicate that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperones play a role in the assembly of HCV envelope proteins (E1 and E2). We have shown that these glycoproteins interact with BiP, calreticulin and calnexin. However, among these chaperones, only calnexin is involved in the productive assembly of E1E2 complex. The other two chaperones interact with misfolded aggregates containing E1 and E2. Folding of HCV glycoproteins occurs in the context of intermediate complexes involving E1, E2 and calnexin. As soon as E1E2 heterodimers are properly folded, they separate from calnexin but don't leave the ER compartment.

We characterized the transcriptional response accompanying maintenance of long-term sensitization (LTS) memory in the pleural ganglia of Aplysia californica using microarray (N = 8) and qPCR (N = 11 additional samples). We found that 24 h after memory induction there is strong regulation of 1198 transcripts (748 up and 450 down) in a pattern that is almost completely distinct from what is observed during memory encoding (1 h after training). There is widespread up-regulation of transcripts related to all levels of protein production, from transcription (e.g., subunits of transcription initiation factors) to translation (e.g., subunits of eIF1, eIF2, eIF3, eIF4, eIF5, and eIF2B) to activation of components of the unfolded protein response (e.g., CREB3/Luman, BiP, AATF). In addition, there are widespread changes in transcripts related to cytoskeleton function, synaptic targeting, synaptic function, neurotransmitter regulation, and neuronal signaling. Many of the transcripts identified have previously been linked to memory and plasticity (e.g., Egr, menin, TOB1, IGF2 mRNA binding protein 1/ZBP-1), though the majority are novel and/or uncharacterized. Interestingly, there is regulation that could contribute to metaplasticity potentially opposing or even eroding LTS memory (down-regulation of adenylate cyclase and a putative serotonin receptor, up-regulation of FMRFa and a FMRFa receptor). This study reveals that maintenance of a "simple" nonassociative memory is accompanied by an astonishingly complex transcriptional response.
