Mapping of the rotavirus nonstructural protein-4-caveolin-1 binding site to three hydrophobic residues within the extended, c-terminal amphipathic alpha helix

Rotavirus NSP4, the first described viral enterotoxin, localizes to the plasma membrane of infected cells, possibly through interaction with caveolin-1. A direct interaction between NSP4 and caveolin-1, the structural protein of caveolae, was shown by yeast two-hybrid, peptide binding, and FRET anal...
