SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid protein variants have differential RNA chaperone activity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The SARS‐CoV‐2 nucleocapsid (N) protein facilitates RNA annealing through its RBD–IDR2–CTD region, identifying it as a functional RNA chaperone. The Omicron BA.5 variant shows reduced chaperone activity compared to the Wuhan wild‐type protein. Although phosphorylation has no effect on wild‐type N, phosphomimetic modification of BA.5 N restores its RNA ...

MAVS oligomerization drives a faster and more efficient antiviral signaling activation at peroxisomes compared to mitochondria

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cells rely on mitochondria and peroxisomes to trigger antiviral defenses via the protein MAVS. This manuscript demonstrates that the robust production of antiviral effectors resulting from MAVS activation at peroxisomes is faster than at mitochondria due to a swifter oligomerization of this protein at peroxisomal membranes. These results underscore the

Characterisation of a phylogenetically distinct PL25 family ulvan lyase from a seaweed biomass enriched metagenome

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ulvan is a polysaccharide available from green seaweed with beneficial properties for various applications. The full potential of ulvan requires enzymatic degradation of the polymer, thus producing ulvan oligosaccharides. This study expands the armoury of characterised ulvan lyases.

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?

Immunology, EarlyView.
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

Looking for Greener Pastures: In Vitro Screening of Phytogenics for the Control of Sparicotyle chrysophrii in Gilthead Sea Bream

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gill parasite Sparicotyle chrysophrii poses a significant threat to gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) aquaculture in the Mediterranean, causing considerable mortality and economic losses. As traditional chemotherapeutic treatments, like formalin, face growing regulatory restrictions, there is an urgent need for alternative control ...
