CXCL10 Signaling Contributes to the Pathogenesis of Arthritogenic Alphaviruses
Emerging and re-emerging arthritogenic alphaviruses, such as Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and O’nyong nyong virus, cause acute and chronic crippling arthralgia associated with inflammatory immune responses.

ABSTRACT RNA hairpins may constitute a foundation of genetic evolution both in viruses and other organisms. Stem‐loops theoretically comprise a stable part, the double‐stranded stem, and a single‐stranded loop allowing evolution. Here we tested for SARS‐CoV‐2 if “fertile” mutations were in loops while mutations in stems were poorly tolerated and rarely

Human and murine IFIT1 proteins do not restrict infection of negative-sense RNA viruses of the Orthomyxoviridae, Bunyaviridae, and Filoviridae families [PDF]
UNLABELLED: Interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (IFIT1) is a host protein with reported cell-intrinsic antiviral activity against several RNA viruses.

Current Understanding of the Role of Cholesterol in the Life Cycle of Alphaviruses
Enveloped viruses rely on different lipid classes present in cell membranes to accomplish several steps of their life cycle in the host. Particularly for alphaviruses, a medically important group of arboviruses, which are part of the Togaviridae family ...

ABSTRACT Mx genes display strong and quick induction in response to viral infections, which varies according to the viral virulence; furthermore, mx transcription is blocked by several viruses as part of their immune evasion strategies. Therefore, the level and time course of mx induction reflect virus–host interplay. This idea prompted the development

Defined mutations in the 5' nontranslated sequence of Sindbis virus RNA [PDF]
We have constructed 24 deletion mutants which contain deletions of from 1 to 15 nucleotides in the 5' nontranslated region of Sindbis virus RNA and tested the effect of these mutations on virus replication.

To translate, or not to translate: viral and host mRNA regulation by interferon-stimulated genes. [PDF]
Type I interferon (IFN) is one of the first lines of cellular defense against viral pathogens. As a result of IFN signaling, a wide array of IFN-stimulated gene (ISG) products is upregulated to target different stages of the viral life cycle.

Broad Antiviral Activity of Ginkgolic Acid against Chikungunya, Mayaro, Una, and Zika Viruses
The alphaviruses Chikungunya (CHIKV), Mayaro (MAYV), Una (UNAV), and the flavivirus Zika (ZIKV) are emerging or re-emerging arboviruses which are responsible for frequent epidemic outbreaks. Despite the large impact of these arboviruses on health systems,

Alphavirus polymerase and RNA replication [PDF]
Alphaviruses are typically arthropod-borne, and many are important pathogens such as chikungunya virus. Alphaviruses encode four nonstructural proteins (nsP1-4), initially produced as a polyprotein P1234. nsP4 is the core RNA-dependent RNA polymerase but
