Isolation of genetically diverse Marburg viruses from Egyptian fruit bats.
PLoS Pathogens, 2009 In July and September 2007, miners working in Kitaka Cave, Uganda, were diagnosed with Marburg hemorrhagic fever. The likely source of infection in the cave was Egyptian fruit bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus) based on detection of Marburg virus RNA in 31/611

Structural insights into the mechanism of archaellar rotational switching
Nature Communications, 2022 Signal transduction via phosphorylated CheY is conserved in bacteria and archaea. In this study, the authors employ structural biochemistry combined with cell biology to delineate the mechanism of CheY recognition by the adaptor protein CheF.

Acylation of the Marburg Virus Glycoprotein
Virology, 1995 The surface protein of Marburg virus (GP) is modified by acylation, as shown by labeling with [3H]myristic and [3H]palmitic acid. Acylation of GP also occurred when it was expressed in insect cells with the baculovirus expression system. Gas chromatographic analyses of the bound fatty acids indicated that exogenously added [3H]myristic acid was partly ...

Ebola and Marburg virus matrix layers are locally ordered assemblies of VP40 dimers
eLife, 2020 Filoviruses such as Ebola and Marburg virus bud from the host membrane as enveloped virions. This process is achieved by the matrix protein VP40. When expressed alone, VP40 induces budding of filamentous virus-like particles, suggesting that localization

Antibodies in Primates to the Marburg Virus
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1969 SummaryA serologic (complement fixing) survey of various primate sera for antibodies to the Marburg agent has demonstrated that the majority of positives were obtained from nonhuman primates born in Africa.

Refining a preclinical model of viral myocarditis in accordance with biotech standards
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.This study aimed to refine a murine model of Coxsackievirus B3‐induced myocarditis by integrating dietary and imaging innovations to improve animal welfare, data quality, and clinical applicability. The refined diet significantly reduced animal health burden, reduced weight loss, and stabilized blood glucose during development of cardiac inflammation ...
