3-dimensional Rules for Finite-Temperature Loops [PDF]
We present simple diagrammatic rules to write down Euclidean n-point functions at finite temperature directly in terms of 3-dimensional momentum integrals, without ever performing a single Matsubara sum.

Ecdysone response element in a baculovirus immediate-early gene, ie1, promoter [PDF]
A computer-assisted analysis identified tentative target sequences for regulatory proteins including ecdysone-inducible factors such as BmFTZ-F1 and Broad-Complex Z4 (BR-C Z4) in the ie1 promoter of BmNPV. A transient expression experiment using BmN cells and a series of truncated ie1 promoter constructs demonstrated that the activity of the ie1 ...

Summary: Viruses need to hijack and manipulate host proteins to guarantee their replication. Herein, we uncovered that the DNA virus white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) established a novel positive feedback loop by hijacking the host JNK pathway via its ...

Positive role of promyelocytic leukemia protein in type I interferon response and its regulation by human cytomegalovirus. [PDF]
Promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML), a major component of PML nuclear bodies (also known as nuclear domain 10), is involved in diverse cellular processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, gene regulation, and DNA damage response. PML also acts as a

Redistribution of critical major histocompatibility complex and T cell receptor-binding functions of residues in an antigenic sequence after biterminal substitution [PDF]
Residues critical for establishing a trimolecular interaction with a major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-encoded receptor and a T cell antigen receptor (TcR) were determined for an antigenic nonapeptide. The N-terminal residue proved to be involved in

Independent and joint effects of antibodies to human heat-shock protein 60 and Chlamydia pneumoniae infection in the development of coronary atherosclerosis [PDF]
Background—Studies have suggested that the prevalence of antibodies against heat-shock proteins (HSPs), Chlamydia pneumoniae (Cpn), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), but the independent or joint effects of ...

Baculovirus transactivator IE1 is functional in mammalian cells.
IE1 of Autographa californica multicapsid nuclear polyhedrosis virus acts as a transactivator of several viral promoters in insect cells. Transient expression assays indicate that IE1 is involved in the activation of the early promoter he65 in both insect TN-368 and mammalian BHK-21 cell lines.

Identification of the Key Functional Domains of Bombyx mori Nucleopolyhedrovirus IE1 Protein
The immediate early protein 1 (IE1) acts as a transcriptional activator and is essential for viral gene transcription and viral DNA replication. However, the key regulatory domains of IE1 remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the sequence characteristics of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) IE1 and identified the key functional domains of ...
