    Keywords : ER; rotavirus; VP7; NSP4; oligosaccharide processing; N-linked glycosylation; protein disulfide isomerase; calnexin; ATP; ER retention;

    Abstract : The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a membrane bound organelle composed of a network of cisternae stretching throughout the cytoplasm. Functionally, the ER performs many essential processes, such as glycosylation, and biosynthesis of lipids; it provides a redox potential condition for forming S-S linkages, and a quality control system, and functions as an intracellular calcium store.
