Discovery of Small Molecules Against Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus Replication by Targeting 2C Helicase Activity [PDF]

open access: yesViruses
Background: The 2C protein of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), a member of helicase superfamily 3 (SF3), drives viral genome replication and serves as a critical target for antiviral drug development. Methods: A fluorescence resonance energy transfer

Biochemical Characterization of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Helicase

open access: yesmSphere, 2016
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) helicase is a superfamily 1 helicase containing seven conserved motifs. We have cloned, expressed, and purified a Strep-fused recombinant MERS-CoV nonstructural protein 13 (M-nsp13) helicase ...

Structure, mechanism and crystallographic fragment screening of the SARS-CoV-2 NSP13 helicase

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
There is currently a lack of effective drugs to treat people infected with SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The SARS-CoV-2 Non-structural protein 13 (NSP13) has been identified as a target for anti-virals due to its high sequence ...

Z-RNA and the Flipside of the SARS Nsp13 Helicase: Is There a Role for Flipons in Coronavirus-Induced Pathology?

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
We present evidence suggesting that the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus non-structural protein 13 (Nsp13) modulates the Z-RNA dependent regulated cell death pathways .

Analysis of the PcrA-RNA polymerase complex reveals a helicase interaction motif and a role for PcrA/UvrD helicase in the suppression of R-loops

open access: yeseLife, 2021
The PcrA/UvrD helicase binds directly to RNA polymerase (RNAP) but the structural basis for this interaction and its functional significance have remained unclear.

The enigmatic helicase DHX9 and its association with the hallmarks of cancer

open access: yesFuture Science OA, 2021
Much interest has been expended lately in characterizing the association between DExH-Box helicase 9 (DHX9) dysregulation and malignant development, however, the enigmatic nature of DHX9 has caused conflict as to whether it regularly functions as an ...

A Proof of Principle for the Detection of Viable Brucella spp. in Raw Milk by qPCR Targeting Bacteriophages

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Brucellosis is still a global health issue, and surveillance and control of this zoonotic disease in livestock remains a challenge. Human outbreaks are mainly linked to the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products.
