Specific roles have been ascribed to each of the 12 known rotavirus proteins apart from the non-structural protein 6 (NSP6). However, NSP6 may be present at sites of viral replication within the cytoplasm. Here we report that NSP6 from diverse species of rotavirus A localizes to mitochondria via conserved sequences in a predicted N-terminal a-helix. This suggests that NSP6 may affect mitochondrial functions during rotavirus infection.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.
