Involvement of Surfactant Protein D in Ebola Virus Infection Enhancement via Glycoprotein Interaction [PDF]

Viruses, MDPI, 2018, 11 (1), pp.15, 2019
Since the largest 2014-2016 Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa, understanding of Ebola virus infection has improved, notably the involvement of innate immune mediators. Amongst them, collectins are important players in the antiviral innate immune defense.

TbGT8 is a bifunctional glycosyltransferase that elaborates N-linked glycans on a protein phosphatase AcP115 and a GPI-anchor modifying glycan in Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]

, 2014
The procyclic form of Trypanosoma brucei expresses procyclin surface glycoproteins with unusual glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchor side chain structures that contain branched N-acetyllactosamine and lacto-N-biose units.

Sorting of Lysosomal Membrane Glycoproteins lamp-1 and lamp-2 into Vesicles Distinct from Mannose 6-Phosphate Receptor/γ-Adaptin Vesicles at the trans-Golgi Network*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
Newly synthesized lysosomal membrane glycoproteins lamp-1 and lamp-2 are primarily sorted at thetrans-Golgi network (TGN) by recognition of a tyrosine-based signal sequence in their cytoplasmic tails. It is presently unclear how this signal is recognized

Mucus Physically Restricts Influenza A Viral Particle Access to the Epithelium

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
The infectious potential of respiratory viruses depends on their ability to navigate through a layer of mucus that serves as a protective barrier in the lung. It is demonstrated that influenza A virus penetration through mucus is significantly limited by the gel's internal microstructure and, to a lesser extent, by adhesive binding to mucin glycans ...

Challenging the Existing Model of the Hexameric HIV-1 Gag Lattice and MA Shell Superstructure: Implications for Viral Entry

Viruses, 2021
Despite type 1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) being discovered in the early 1980s, significant knowledge gaps remain in our understanding of the superstructure of the HIV-1 matrix (MA) shell.

Generation of Advanced Blood–Brain Barrier Spheroids Using Human‐Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Brain Capillary Endothelial‐Like Cells

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
In this article, the establishment and characterization of a self‐assembled 3D BBB spheroid model using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)‐derived and primary cells is reported. Spheroids demonstrate in‐vivo like tight junction ultrastructure and, in comparison to 2D mono‐cultures, higher transcript expression of BBB specific genes.

Transient Transfection-based Fusion Assay for Viral Proteins

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Membrane fusion is vital for entry of enveloped viruses into host cells as well as for direct viral cell-to-cell spread. To understand the fusion mechanism in more detail, we use an infection free system whereby fusion can be induced by a minimal set of ...

Similarity Is Not Enough: Tipping Points of Ebola Zaire Mortalities [PDF]

, 2014
In early 2014 an outbreak of a slightly mutated Zaire Ebola subtype appeared in West Africa which is less virulent than 1976 and 1994 strains. The numbers of cases per year appear to be ~ 1000 times larger than the earlier strains, suggesting a greatly enhanced transmissibility.

Unveiling the metabolic fate of monosaccharides in cell membranes with glycomic and glycoproteomic analyses. [PDF]

, 2019
Cell membrane protein glycosylation is dependent on the metabolic state of the cell as well as exogenous nutrients available. Although the metabolism and interconversion of monosaccharides have been well-studied, their incorporation into cell surface ...
