Investigation of Endogenous Retroviruses in the Pathogenesis of Sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) by [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Human Endogenous Retroviruses (HERVs) are remnants of ancient retroviral infections that have become incorporated into the human genome over the course of our evolution as a species.

Evidence for restriction of ancient primate gammaretroviruses by APOBEC3 but not TRIM5alpha proteins.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2008
Because of evolutionary pressures imposed through episodic colonization by retroviruses, many mammals express factors, such as TRIM5alpha and APOBEC3 proteins, that directly restrict retroviral replication.

Engineering Biology Beyond Single Genes: Advances and Challenges in Multiplex Genome Editing

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Multiplex genome editing is transforming genome engineering from single‐gene perturbation to network‐level control, yet its broader application remains limited by challenges in gRNA array engineering, delivery technologies, and safety management. Emerging AI‐driven approaches are accelerating guide RNA design and CRISPR effector optimization for ...

Higher Complement C4 Gene Copy Number Constitutes a Shared Genetic Risk Factor for Giant Cell Arteritis and IgA Vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

The transmembrane protein of the human endogenous retrovirus--K (HERV-K) modulates cytokine release and gene expression. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Numerous copies of endogenous retroviruses are present in the genome of mammals including man. Although most of them are defective, some, e.g., the human endogenous retroviruses HERV-K, were found to be expressed under certain physiological conditions ...

Status and future of recombinant adeno‐associated virus vector manufacturing

open access: yesBiotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Sixty years of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) research illustrates a trajectory marked by basic science exploration, iterative innovation, persistent challenges, a number of clinical setbacks, as well as commercial therapeutic triumphs. This continual evolution has led to recombinant AAV (rAAV) becoming a cornerstone of modern gene therapy ...

Retroviruses in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus: Are they potential therapeutic targets?

open access: yesAutoimmunity, 2020
The pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterised by the hyper-activation of immunologic pathways related to the antiviral response.

DNA concentration in harvest affects retrovirus clearance capabilities of protein A chromatography

open access: yesBiotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Protein A chromatography is a key unit operation in biopharmaceutical purification, widely used to capture monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) from harvest cell culture fluid (HCCF). In addition to its primary function, protein A chromatography is also frequently tested for its ability to remove viruses. Although protein A specifically binds mAbs and

Adaptive Immunity in Marsupials

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Comparison of the marsupial and eutherian adaptive immune systems. ABSTRACT Marsupials diverged from eutherian mammals 125–160 million years ago. Although evolutionarily distinct, both groups of mammals can produce complex adaptive immune responses to antigens with several key differences.

An endogenous foamy-like viral element in the coelacanth genome. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2012
Little is known about the origin and long-term evolutionary mode of retroviruses. Retroviruses can integrate into their hosts' genomes, providing a molecular fossil record for studying their deep history.
