Cyclophilins as Modulators of Viral Replication [PDF]
Cyclophilins are peptidyl‐prolyl cis/trans isomerases important in the proper folding of certain proteins. Mounting evidence supports varied roles of cyclophilins, either positive or negative, in the life cycles of diverse viruses, but the nature and ...

Cyclophilin‐B is an abundant protein whose conformation is similar to cyclophilin‐A [PDF]
Cyclophilin‐B (bCyP‐20) was isolated in a relatively high quantity from calf brain and spleen tissues consecutively applying weak cation exchange, chromatofocusing and strong cation exchange chromatographies. Edman degradation yielded the N‐terminal sequence NH2‐DEKKKGPKVTVK‐VYFDLRIGDEDIGRVVIGLFGKTVPKTVDNFVAL.

Cyclophilins and cyclophilin inhibitors in nidovirus replication
Cyclophilins (Cyps) belong to the family of peptidyl-prolyl isomerases (PPIases). The PPIase activity of most Cyps is inhibited by the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A and several of its non-immunosuppressive analogs, which can also block the replication of nidoviruses (arteriviruses and coronaviruses).

Non‐Immunosuppressive Cyclophilin Inhibitors
AbstractCyclophilins, enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl cis/trans isomerase activity, are relevant to a large variety of biological processes. The most abundant member of this enzyme family, cyclophilin A, is the cellular receptor of the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporine A (CsA).

Gene Therapy Strategies to Exploit TRIM Derived Restriction Factors against HIV-1
Restriction factors are a collection of antiviral proteins that form an important aspect of the innate immune system. Their constitutive expression allows immediate response to viral infection, ahead of other innate or adaptive immune responses.

Cyclophilin A‐mediated mitigation of coronavirus SARS‐CoV‐2
Human cyclophilin A (hCypA) is important for the replication of multiple coronaviruses (CoVs), and cyclosporine A inhibitors can suppress CoVs. The emergence of rapidly spreading severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) variants has ...

Genome-Wide Analysis of Cyclophilin Proteins in 21 Oomycetes
Cyclophilins (CYPs), a highly-conserved family of proteins, belong to a subgroup of immunophilins. Ubiquitous in eukaryotes and prokaryotes, CYPs have peptidyl-prolyl cis−trans isomerase (PPIase) activity and have been implicated as virulence ...

Background Cyclophilin (CYP) belongs to the immunophilin family and has peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) activity, which catalyzes the cis-trans isomerization process of proline residues.
