A distinct and divergent lineage of genomic island-associated Type IV Secretion Systems in Legionella. [PDF]
Legionella encodes multiple classes of Type IV Secretion Systems (T4SSs), including the Dot/Icm protein secretion system that is essential for intracellular multiplication in amoebal and human hosts. Other T4SSs not essential for virulence are thought to

Detection and genetic characterization of lineage IV peste des petits ruminants virus in Kazakhstan [PDF]
Peste des petits ruminant (PPR) is endemic in many Asian countries with expansion of the range in recent years including across China during 2013-2014 (OIE, 2014). Till the end of 2014, no cases of PPR virus (PPRV) were officially reported to the Office Internationale des Epizooties (OIE) from Kazakhstan.

Complete Genome Sequence of a Lineage IV Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus from Turkey, 2018. [PDF]
We report the whole-genome sequence of a peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) from a lamb exhibiting clinical signs in Turkey in September 2018. The genome of PPRV/Turkey/Central_Anatolia/2018 shows the highest nucleotide sequence identity (97.63%) to PPRV isolated in Turkey in 2000.

Collagen IV differentially regulates planarian stem cell potency and lineage progression [PDF]
Significance Comprehensive assessment of matrisome genes identified collagen IV as one of the many extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins regulating the stem cell pool in planarian tissue homeostasis and regeneration. While collagen IV has been shown to be involved in stem cell biology, our finding links it to pluripotent stem cells in vivo ...

Comparative pathogenesis of Ethiopia/Habru/2014 Lineage-IV peste des petits ruminants virus in goats and cattle. [PDF]
Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease primarily affecting goats and sheep, with clinical manifestations ranging from peracute disease to subclinical infection, particularly in atypical hosts such as cattle. The role of atypical hosts such as cattle to the spread of PPR remains controversial, with conflicting reports in ...

Co-circulation of Peste-des-Petits-Ruminants Virus Asian lineage IV with Lineage II in Nigeria [PDF]
Peste-des-petits-ruminants (PPR), a major small ruminant transboundary animal disease, is endemic in Nigeria. Strains of the causal agent, peste-des-petits-ruminants virus (PPRV), have been differentiated into four genetically distinct lineages based on the partial sequence of the virus nucleoprotein (N) or fusion (F) genes.
