Novel circular single-stranded DNA viruses identified in marine invertebrates reveal high sequence diversity and consistent predicted intrinsic disorder patterns within putative structural proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Viral metagenomics has recently revealed the ubiquitous and diverse nature of single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses that encode a conserved replication initiator protein (Rep) in the marine environment.

Universal Virucidal Activity of Calcium Bicarbonate Mesoscopic Crystals That Provides an Effective and Biosafe Disinfectant

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
We investigated the virucidal effects in solution of a new type of disinfectant, calcium bicarbonate mesoscopic crystals, designated CAC-717, against various types of virus.

CXCL10 Chemokine: A Critical Player in RNA and DNA Viral Infections

open access: yesViruses, 2022
Chemokines constitute a group of small, secreted proteins that regulate leukocyte migration and contribute to their activation. Chemokines are crucial inflammatory mediators that play a key role in managing viral infections, during which the profile of ...

The DNA Methylation Landscape of Giant Viruses [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Abstract DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark that contributes to various regulations in all domains of life. Prokaryotes use it through Restriction-Modification (R-M) systems as a host-defense mechanism against viruses. The recently discovered giant viruses are widespread dsDNA viruses infecting eukaryotes

Deciphering the Origin of DNA Viruses (Replication-Associated Parvo-NS1) That Infect Vertebrates from Invertebrate-Infecting Viruses

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
DNA replication is a standard and essential function among DNA viruses; however, this functional domain's common ancestor, origin, and evolutionary path in invertebrate- and vertebrate-infecting viruses are not yet fully understood.

Inhibition of histone methyltransferase SETD8 represses DNA virus replication

open access: yesCell Insight, 2022
Multiple diseases, such as cancer and neural degeneration diseases, are related with the latent infection of DNA viruses. However, it is still difficult to clean up the latent DNA viruses and new anti-viral strategies are critical for disease treatment ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Virus discovery in all three major lineages of terrestrial arthropods highlights the diversity of single-stranded DNA viruses associated with invertebrates [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Viruses encoding a replication-associated protein (Rep) within a covalently closed, single-stranded (ss)DNA genome are among the smallest viruses known to infect eukaryotic organisms, including economically valuable agricultural crops and livestock ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Evolution of the AGMK1-9T7 GLI1+ progenitor cells to become tumor cells and potentially cancer-stem cells

open access: yesAdvances in Cancer Biology - Metastasis
We have investigated the expression of selected genes and miRNAs that have been found to be associated with human cancer-stem cells for their involvement in the neoplastic evolution of our AGMK1-9T7 cell line from a non-tumorigenic status at passage (p ...
