A review of emerging health threats from zoonotic New World mammarenaviruses [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Despite repeated spillover transmission and their potential to cause significant morbidity and mortality in human hosts, the New World mammarenaviruses remain largely understudied.

Structure and stabilization of the antigenic glycoprotein building blocks of the New World mammarenavirus spike complex [PDF]

mBio
The spillover of New World (NW) arenaviruses from rodent reservoirs into human populations poses a continued risk to human health. NW arenaviruses present a glycoprotein (GP) complex on the envelope surface of the virion, which orchestrates host cell ...

Machupo Virus and Bolivian Hemorrhagic Fever: Epidemiology, Pathogenesis, and Control Strategies

Journal of Public Health, Policy, and Society
Machupo virus, a member of the Mammarenavirus genus within the Arenaviridae family, is the etiological agent of Bolivian Hemorrhagic Fever (BHF). This enveloped virus possesses a bi-segmented, single-stranded ambisense RNA genome. The small (S) segment encodes the glycoprotein precursor (GPC) and nucleoprotein (NP), while the large (L) segment encodes ...

Ribonucleoprotein transport in Negative Strand RNA viruses

Biology of the Cell, Volume 115, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The genome replication of Negative‐sense, single‐stranded RNA viruses most‐often segregate in membrane‐less environments called inclusion bodies (IBs). These “organelles” usually locate far from the cell surface from where new virions are released. Here, for each viral family, we discuss how the genome progeny is transported from the IBs to reach the ...

Chapare virus, a newly discovered arenavirus isolated from a fatal hemorrhagic fever case in Bolivia. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2008
A small focus of hemorrhagic fever (HF) cases occurred near Cochabamba, Bolivia, in December 2003 and January 2004. Specimens were available from only one fatal case, which had a clinical course that included fever, headache, arthralgia, myalgia, and ...

Recruitment of dynein and kinesin to viral particles

The FASEB Journal, Volume 36, Issue 5, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Dynein and kinesin are cytoskeletal motor proteins involved in transporting cellular cargos and viruses. Throughout viral infection, they actively participate in the virus life cycle in the cell during entry, genome replication, and departure.

Observation of arenavirus nucleoprotein heptamer assembly

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 1076-1083, April 2021., 2021
The nucleoprotein associates with RNA to form a ribonucleoprotein complex. The nucleoprotein trends to self‐assemble into heptameric rings. Theses rings represent stable intermediate states representative of the average full turn of the Arenaviridae ribonucleoprotein filament.

Application of spectral library prediction for parallel reaction monitoring of viral peptides

PROTEOMICS, Volume 21, Issue 7-8, April 2021., 2021
Abstract A major part of the analysis of parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) data is the comparison of observed fragment ion intensities to a library spectrum. Classically, these libraries are generated by data‐dependent acquisition (DDA). Here, we test Prosit, a published deep neural network algorithm, for its applicability in predicting spectral ...
