G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 promotes flaviviridae entry and replication. [PDF]
Flaviviruses cause a wide range of severe diseases ranging from encephalitis to hemorrhagic fever. Discovery of host factors that regulate the fate of flaviviruses in infected cells could provide insight into the molecular mechanisms of infection and ...

Calf pre-weaning traits and immunoglobulin response to bovine viral diarrhea virus vaccination [PDF]
Calfhood vaccination for bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a relatively new concept, and protocols are evolving. Our objective was to determine effects of BVDV type I vaccination protocol, calf behavior (chute score, and chute exit velocity), and ...

Comparative analysis of the extent of protein–protein interactions in icosahedral viral capsids
Abstract Nonenveloped viruses package, carry, and deliver their genomes to the targeted cells using protein shells known as capsids. The viral capsids come in different shapes and sizes, most exhibiting helical or icosahedral symmetries. Here, we analyzed 634 icosahedral capsids at high resolution (<4 Å) from 39 virus families with T‐numbers ranging ...

The Small Cysteine‐Rich Protein of Potato Mop‐Top Virus Exhibits Viroporin Activity
The cysteine‐rich 8K protein of PMTV exhibits a viroporin activity that forms multimers on endomembrane, alters membrane permeability, and conducts potassium and protons. ABSTRACT Potato mop‐top virus (PMTV) is the causal agent of potato tuber spraing disease, which causes significant economic losses to potato production worldwide.

Initiation of hepatitis C virus infection is dependent on cholesterol and cooperativity between CD81 and scavenger receptor B type I. [PDF]
In the past several years, a number of cellular proteins have been identified as candidate entry receptors for hepatitis C virus (HCV) by using surrogate models of HCV infection.

Phosphatidylethanolamine: A key player in lung disease
Implication of PE in the aetiology of diverse diseases. The pivotal role of PE in driving lipid peroxidation during ferroptosis. Implications of PE metabolic dysregulation in pulmonary epithelial cells. Abstract Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a pivotal glycerophospholipid that constitutes a significant portion of cellular membranes, playing a crucial

Space constrained homology modelling: The paradigm of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase of dengue (Type II) virus [PDF]
Protein structure is more conserved than sequence in nature. In this direction we developed a novel methodology that significantly improves conventional homology modelling when sequence identity is low, by taking into consideration 3D structural features

Human T Cell Responses to Flavivirus Vaccines
This review summarises current knowledge of T cell responses induced by flavivirus vaccines being licensed or under development. Existing vaccines against flaviviruses have been developed and analysed primarily in the context of antibody responses, while the role of T cells in contributing to immunity against flaviviruses is less studied.
