EBV Exploits RNA m6A Modification to Promote Cell Survival and Progeny Virus Production During Lytic Cycle [PDF]
N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mediates various biological processes by affecting RNA stability, splicing, and translational efficiency. The roles of m6A modification in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in the lytic phase are unclear.

Phage lytic enzymes are enzymes produced by bacterial viruses, either as part of their virion to facilitate bacterial infection through local peptidoglycan degradation, or as soluble proteins to induce massive cell lysis at the end of the lytic ...

Spatial Model for Oncolytic Virotherapy with Lytic Cycle Delay [PDF]
We formulate a mathematical model of functional partial differential equations for oncolytic virotherapy which incorporates virus diffusivity, tumor cell diffusion, and the viral lytic cycle based on a basic oncolytic virus dynamics model. We conduct a detailed analysis for the dynamics of the model and carry out numerical simulations to demonstrate ...

Single cell expression and chromatin accessibility of the Toxoplasma gondii lytic cycle identifies AP2XII-8 as an essential ribosome regulon driver [PDF]
Sequential lytic cycles driven by cascading transcriptional waves underlie pathogenesis in the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. This parasite’s unique division by internal budding, short cell cycle, and jumbled up classically defined cell cycle ...

Experimental Dissection of the Lytic Replication Cycles of Herpes Simplex Viruses in vitro [PDF]
Herpes simplex viruses type 1 and type 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) produce lifelong infections and are highly prevalent in the human population. Both viruses elicit numerous clinical manifestations and produce mild-to-severe diseases that affect the skin, eyes, and brain, among others. Despite the existence of numerous antivirals against HSV, such as acyclovir

Lytic Cycle of Toxoplasma gondii: 15 Years Later [PDF]
Toxoplasmosis is the clinical and pathological consequence of acute infection with the obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii. Symptoms result from tissue destruction that accompanies lytic parasite growth. This review updates current understanding of the host cell invasion, parasite replication, and eventual egress that ...

Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Activity Controls the Onset of the HCMV Lytic Cycle
The onset of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) lytic infection is strictly synchronized with the host cell cycle. Infected G0/G1 cells support viral immediate early (IE) gene expression and proceed to the G1/S boundary where they finally arrest. In contrast, S/G2 cells can be infected but effectively block IE gene expression and this inhibition is not ...

The FIKK kinase of Toxoplasma gondii is not essential for the parasite’s lytic cycle [PDF]
FIKK kinases are a novel family of kinases unique to the Apicomplexa. While most apicomplexans encode a single FIKK kinase, Plasmodium falciparum expresses 21 and piroplasms do not encode a FIKK kinase. FIKK kinases share a conserved C-terminal catalytic domain, but the N-terminal region is highly variable and contains no known functional domains.

Calcium signaling and the lytic cycle of the Apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii has a complex life cycle involving different hosts and is dependent on fast responses, as the parasite reacts to changing environmental conditions. T. gondii causes disease by lysing the host cells that it infects and it does this by reiterating its lytic cycle, which consists of host cell invasion, replication inside the host cell ...
