DHHC enzymes in alphavirus glycoprotein acylation: A target for broad-spectrum antiviral therapy
Summary: Alphaviruses are mosquito-transmitted viruses that cause severe zoonotic diseases. Their envelope glycoproteins, E1 and E2, undergo cysteine acylation, a process critical for virus infection but previously undefined mechanistically.

Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

Chronic alphavirus infection of L cells.
Chronic infection of L cells with Sindbis virus, induced in the absence of antiviral antibody, was studied by virological methods in combination with light and electron microscopy. Both Sindbis virus and endogenous oncovirus antigens were revealed in the cells by immunofluorescence.

RNA processing bodies are disassembled during Old World alphavirus infection
RNA processing bodies (P-bodies) are non-membranous cytoplasmic aggregates of mRNA and proteins involved in mRNA decay and translation repression. P-bodies actively respond to environmental stresses, associated with another type of RNA granules, known as stress granules (SGs).
