The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Current methods to control porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, a disease affecting pigs, are insufficient and a safer, more effective vaccine is needed. This study describes the design and plant production of a self‐assembling protein nanoparticle vaccine candidate against this disease.

Competitive Elution of Pertussis Hemagglutinin
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1950 SummaryThe hemagglutinating factor of Hemophilus pertussis culture supernatants can apparently be eluted from human erythrocytes by suspending such erythrocytes in a distilled-water extract of frozen and thawed red cells. Following the removal of the H. pertussis factor from agglutinated cells, these cells can be re-agglutinated by addition of fresh H.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Plant‐type pentatricopeptide repeat proteins capable of C‐to‐U RNA editing perform faithfully when expressed in a new heterologous system, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. They were tested with constitutive and inducible expression and with a set of different solubility tags. PPR56, PPR65, and PPR78 from P.

Autocatalytic Activation of Influenza Hemagglutinin
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2006 Enveloped viruses contain surface proteins that mediate fusion between the viral and target cell membranes following an activating stimulus. Acidic pH induces the influenza virus fusion protein hemagglutinin (HA) via irreversible refolding of a trimeric conformational state leading to exposure of hydrophobic fusion peptides on each trimer subunit ...

Harnessing S. cerevisiae to advance the engineering of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Heterologous expression systems have been instrumental in furthering our understanding of plant RNA editing proteins. In this commentary, we discuss how the establishment of yeast as a model for studying plant RNA editing by Ramanathan et al. could advance the engineering of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins, and how in return pentatricopeptide repeat ...

Lectin Activity in Gut Extract of Culex pipiens.
Journal of Arthropod-Borne Diseases, 2013 Background: The role of lectins is important in interaction between pathogens and mosquito vectors. This study was performed to identify agglutinin activities of protein molecules on the midgut of Culex pipiens.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...
