Benchmarking evolutionary tinkering underlying human–viral molecular mimicry shows multiple host pulmonary–arterial peptides mimicked by SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesCell Death Discovery, 2020
The hand of molecular mimicry in shaping SARS-CoV-2 evolution and immune evasion remains to be deciphered. Here, we report 33 distinct 8-mer/9-mer peptides that are identical between SARS-CoV-2 and the human reference proteome.

What is Life? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In searching for life in extraterrestrial space, it is essential to act based on an unequivocal definition of life. In the twentieth century, life was defined as cells that self-replicate, metabolize, and are open for mutations, without which genetic ...

Epitopedia: identifying molecular mimicry between pathogens and known immune epitopes

open access: yesImmunoInformatics, 2023
Upon infection, foreign antigenic proteins stimulate the host's immune system to produce antibodies targeting the pathogen. These antibodies bind to regions on the antigen called epitopes.

COVID-19 and molecular mimicry: The Columbus’ egg?

open access: yesJournal of clinical neuroscience, 2020
Highlights • Recently, this Journal published a report about Guillain-Barré syndrome associated with COVID-19 infection.• Guillain-Barré syndrome can be due to molecular mimicry phenomena.• Molecular mimicry had already been described in another SARS ...

Molecular Mimicry Mapping in Streptococcus pneumoniae: Cues for Autoimmune Disorders and Implications for Immune Defense Activation

open access: yesPathogens, 2023
Streptococcus pneumoniae contributes to a range of infections, including meningitis, pneumonia, otitis media, and sepsis. Infections by this bacterium have been associated with the phenomenon of molecular mimicry, which, in turn, may contribute to the ...

More than symbioses : orchid ecology ; with examples from the Sydney Region [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Orchidaceae are one of the largest and most diverse families of flowering plants. Orchids grow as terrestrial, lithophytic, epiphytic or climbing herbs but most orchids native to the Sydney Region can be placed in one of two categories.

T-loop phosphorylation of Arabidopsis CDKA;1 is required for its function and can be partially substituted by an aspartate residue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
As in other eukaryotes, progression through the cell cycle in plants is governed by cyclin-dependent kinases. Phosphorylation of a canonical Thr residue in the T-loop of the kinases is required for high enzyme activity in animals and yeast.

The possible role of molecular mimicry in SARS-CoV-2-mediated autoimmunity: an immunobiochemical basis

open access: yesJournal of Medical Science, 2021
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), persists as a threat to global health and continues to be a rapidly evolving condition.

Fresh Insights into Disease Etiology and the Role of Microbial Pathogens. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Pathogens have been implicated in the initiation and/or promotion of systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc); however, no evidence was found to substantiate the direct contribution to this disease in past years.
