Ebola virus VP30 and nucleoprotein interactions modulate viral RNA synthesis [PDF]
, 2017 Ebola virus (EBOV) is an enveloped negative-sense RNA virus that causes sporadic outbreaks with high case fatality rates. Ebola viral protein 30 (eVP30) plays a critical role in EBOV transcription initiation at the nucleoprotein (eNP) gene, with ...

A comparative analysis of virucidal efficiency of biocide agents
Вопросы вирусологии, 2017 The main groups of biocide agents used for inactivation of bacteria and viruses were studied for their virucidal activity against enveloped (HIV, viral hepatitis C, influenza virus A) and non-enveloped viruses (poliovirus, adenovirus).

Characterization of Zika virus endocytic pathways in human glioblastoma cells [PDF]
, 2020 Zika virus (ZIKV) infections can cause microcephaly and neurological disorders. However, the early infection events of ZIKV in neural cells remain to be characterized. Here, by using a combination of pharmacological and molecular approaches and the human

Glucosylceramide synthase maintains influenza virus entry and infection.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Influenza virus is an enveloped virus wrapped in a lipid bilayer derived from the host cell plasma membrane. Infection by influenza virus is dependent on these host cell lipids, which include sphingolipids.

Exploitation of glycosylation in enveloped virus pathobiology. [PDF]
Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj, 2019 Glycosylation is a ubiquitous post-translational modification responsible for a multitude of crucial biological roles. As obligate parasites, viruses exploit host-cell machinery to glycosylate their own proteins during replication. Viral envelope proteins from a variety of human pathogens including HIV-1, influenza virus, Lassa virus, SARS, Zika virus,
