Concurrent JCPyV-DNAemia Is Correlated With Poor Graft Outcome in Kidney Transplant Recipients With Polyomavirus-associated Nephropathy. [PDF]

open access: yesTransplantation
Background. Co-infection of JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) and BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is uncommon in kidney transplant recipients, and the prognosis is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of concurrent JCPyV-DNAemia on graft outcomes in BKPyV-infected kidney transplant recipients with polyomavirus-associated ...

Molecular epidemiology and risk factors associated with BK and JC polyomavirus urinary shedding after kidney allograft

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 96, Issue 6, June 2024.
Abstract Polyomaviruses BK (BKPyV) and JC (JCPyV), belonging to the Polyomaviridae, are responsible for human pathologies. In kidney transplant recipients, BKPyV replication can lead to irreversible nephron damage whereas JCPyV replication remains asymptomatic.

A functional and structural comparative analysis of large tumor antigens reveals evolution of different importin α‐dependent nuclear localization signals

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Nucleocytoplasmic transport regulates the passage of proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In the best characterized pathway, importin (IMP) α bridges cargoes bearing basic, classical nuclear localization signals (cNLSs) to IMPβ1, which mediates transport through the nuclear pore complex.

A Retrograde Trafficking Inhibitor of Ricin and Shiga-Like Toxins Inhibits Infection of Cells by Human and Monkey Polyomaviruses

open access: yesmBio, 2013
Polyomaviruses are ubiquitous pathogens that cause severe disease in immunocompromised individuals. JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is the causative agent of the fatal demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), whereas BK ...

Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy-Associated Mutations in the JC Polyomavirus Capsid Disrupt Lactoseries Tetrasaccharide c Binding

open access: yesmBio, 2013
The human JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is the causative agent of the fatal, demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The Mad-1 prototype strain of JCPyV uses the glycan lactoseries tetrasaccharide c (LSTc) and serotonin receptor

High-throughput drug screen identifies calcium and calmodulin inhibitors that reduce JCPyV infection

open access: yesAntiviral Research
JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) is a nonenveloped, double-stranded DNA virus that infects the majority of the population. Immunocompetent individuals harbor infection in their kidneys, while severe immunosuppression can result in JCPyV spread to the brain, causing the neurodegenerative disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in HIV-infected patients: clinical features and diagnosis (literature review)

open access: yesЖурнал инфектологии, 2019
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is one of the most severe opportunistic diseases of the central nervous system, which leads to multiple demyelination of brain structures, neurological symptoms and frequent death or disability of the ...

JCPyV Infection is Highly Prevalent in UTUC: Implications for Oncogenic Factors and Pathological Staging

open access: yes
Abstract Background Upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a subtype of urothelial carcinoma that shares similarities with bladder cancer but is more aggressive. Human polyomaviruses (HPyVs) have been found in UTUC; however, the association of the viral large T antigen (LT) protein and the tumor suppressor protein, p53, post-infection with

John Cunningham Virus and Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy: A Falsely Played Diagnosis

open access: yesDiseases
Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a possibly fatal demyelinating disease and John Cunningham Polyomavirus (JCPyV) is believed to cause this condition.
