Main Targets of Interest for the Development of a Prophylactic or Therapeutic Epstein-Barr Virus Vaccine

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is one of the most widespread viruses in the world; more than 90% of the planet’s adult population is infected. Symptomatic primary infection by this Herpesviridae corresponds to infectious mononucleosis (IM), which is generally ...

Biphasic euchromatin-to-heterochromatin transition on the KSHV genome following de novo infection. [PDF]

, 2013
The establishment of latency is an essential step for the life-long persistent infection and pathogenesis of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV).

Simulated RNA Interference in the T4 Bacteriophage Lytic Cycle

, 2014
RNA interference pathways have shown promise in disrupting the translation of protein products in eukaryotic cells and organisms. These studies have used siRNA or miRNA, but not mRNA. Bacteria lack the genes to produce the RNAi enzymes found in eukaryotes. In this study, an attempt to simulate an RNAi pathway in hopes of using E.

Bacteriophage‐Mimetic DNA Origami Needle for Targeted Membrane Penetration and Cytosolic Cargo Delivery

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We designed a synthetic DNA origami needle‐like structure inspired by bacteriophages for targeted drug delivery. Functionalized with trastuzumab antibodies, cholesterol, and dyes, it selectively targets SKBR3 cancer cells. A glutathione‐triggered dye payload enables controlled release, and delivery is verified using confocal microscopy and live cell ...

PRC1-independent binding and activity of RYBP on the KSHV genome during de novo infection.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic virus that causes lifelong infection in humans by establishing latency after primary infection.

From DNA sequence to application: possibilities and complications [PDF]

, 1999
The development of sophisticated genetic tools during the past 15 years have facilitated a tremendous increase of fundamental and application-oriented knowledge of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their bacteriophages.

Unexpected structure of Epstein–Barr virus lytic cycle activator Zta [PDF]

Trends in Microbiology, 2006
The key viral gene responsible for initiating the replicative cycle of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), termed BZLF1, encodes the multifunctional protein Zta (ZEBRA or Z). It interacts with DNA as both a transcription and a replication factor, modulates both intracellular signal transduction and the DNA-damage response and manipulates cell cycle progression ...

Identification and Characterization of an In Silico Designed Membrane‐Active Peptide with Antiviral Properties

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An evolutionary molecular dynamics platform is used to design P1.6, a membrane‐active peptide that senses lipid packing defects in viral envelopes. P1.6 adopts a stabilized α‐helical structure upon membrane contact, disrupts virus‐like liposomes, and damages HIV‐1 particles.

Epigenetic control of viral life-cycle by a DNA-methylation dependent transcription factor.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encoded transcription factor Zta (BZLF1, ZEBRA, EB1) is the prototype of a class of transcription factor (including C/EBPalpha) that interact with CpG-containing DNA response elements in a methylation-dependent manner.

Regulation of KSHV Latency and Lytic Reactivation

Viruses, 2020
Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is associated with three malignancies— Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS), primary effusion lymphoma (PEL), and multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD). Central to the pathogenesis of these diseases is the KSHV viral life
