Biological and Immunological Characterization of a Functional L-HN Derivative of Botulinum Neurotoxin Serotype F

Toxins, 2023
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) can cause nerve paralysis syndrome in mammals and other vertebrates. BoNTs are the most toxic biotoxins known and are classified as Class A biological warfare agents. BoNTs are mainly divided into seven serotypes A-G and new

Structure of the parainfluenza virus 5 (PIV5) hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) ectodomain. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2013
Paramyxoviruses cause a wide variety of human and animal diseases. They infect host cells using the coordinated action of two surface glycoproteins, the receptor binding protein (HN, H, or G) and the fusion protein (F). HN binds sialic acid on host cells

The Molecular Structure and Role of Humanin in Neural and Skeletal Diseases, and in Tissue Regeneration

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Humanin (HN) belongs to a member of mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) which are encoded by mitochondrial genes. HN shares sequence homology with thirteen HN-like proteins, named MTRNR2L1 to MTRNR2L13, which encompass 24–28 amino acid residues in ...

Paramyxovirus Fusion (F) Protein and Hemagglutinin–Neuraminidase (HN) Protein Interactions: Intracellular Retention of F and HN Does Not Affect Transport of the Homotypic HN or F Protein

Virology, 1997
To investigate a possible intracellular coassociation of the paramyxovirus simian virus 5 (SV5) and human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV-3) fusion (F) and hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) glycoproteins in a living cell, without resorting to chemical crosslinking and antibody coimmunoprecipitation, we tagged the cytoplasmic N-terminus of SV5 HN with a

Interacting domains of the HN and F Proteins of paramyxovirus

Chinese Science Bulletin, 2005
Binding sialates to hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) activates (triggers) the fusion protein (F) to start the membrane fusion process of paramyxovirus, but the mechanism by which the HN and F associate with each other to induce membrane fusion is still unclear. It is noteworthy to study the interaction domains of HN and F of paramyxovirus.

Hijacking the Fusion Complex of Human Parainfluenza Virus as an Antiviral Strategy

mBio, 2020
The receptor binding protein of parainfluenza virus, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), is responsible for actively triggering the viral fusion protein (F) to undergo a conformational change leading to insertion into the target cell and fusion of the ...

Protective Mechanism of Humanin Against Oxidative Stress in Aging-Related Cardiovascular Diseases

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Physiological reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important regulators of intercellular signal transduction. Oxidative and antioxidation systems maintain a dynamic balance under physiological conditions. Increases in ROS levels destroy the dynamic balance,

Interacting Domains of the HN and F Proteins of Newcastle Disease Virus [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2003
ABSTRACT The activation of most paramyxovirus fusion proteins (F proteins) requires not only cleavage of F 0 to F 1 and F 2 but also coexpression of the homologous attachment protein, hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) or hemagglutinin (H). The type specificity
