Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

An efficient strategy for producing RNA‐free Nucleocapsid protein of SARS‐CoV‐2 for biochemical and structural investigations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cleavable N‐terminal Thioredoxin fusion enabled soluble expression and purification of otherwise insoluble SARS‐CoV‐2 Nucleocapsid (N) protein. A four‐step purification strategy yielded highly homogeneous, RNA‐free N protein. Binding assays showed high RNA affinity (Kd ~ 28 nm). The study will facilitate high‐resolution structural studies of N protein,

Confidence in political leaders can slant risk perceptions of COVID–19 in a highly polarized environment

Social Science & Medicine, 2020
• Conservatives show lower risk perceptions of COVID-19 than liberals and moderates. • Confidence in political leaders can reduce risk perceptions of COVID-19. • It also can mediate the effects of political ideology on risk perceptions. • Attention to news about the outbreak of COVID-19 is positively correlated with risk perceptions.
