HepA get trafficked in MVBs and released by exosomes which cells release all the time for trafficking between cells
Picornaviruses auto autophagosomes to replicate on and get to get incorporated into these double-membraned vesicles which are autophagosome-like and the outer membrane fuses via PS

A

Polyproline motif - PxxPxR

77
Q

What happens with NS5A binds to the p85 subunit of PI3K?

A

Activates PI3K which generates PIP3 from PIP2 which allows it to bind to PH domain proteins such as Akt.

Upon binding induces a conformation change which causes PH domain to move and get activation of Akt which is a kinase and P’s BAD. BAD-P blocks the mitochondrial permeability pore and blocks apoptosis
