Cover. Fluorescent confocal image of a Cos-7 cell stained for beta-tubulin (blue) and the rotavirus membrane glycoprotein NSP4 (green). The cytoplasmic domain of NSP4 binds directly to microtubules, anchoring vesicles that contain this glycoprotein and other membrane cargo to the cytoskeleton, resulting in the arrest of ER-to-Golgi membrane transport. John Taylor is a lecturer in the School of Biological Sciences, University of Auckland, New Zealand. He is interested in cell biological aspects of animal virus replication and pathogenesis. For further details see Xu et al., pages 6465--6474.
