Structural Insight into Non-Enveloped Virus Binding to Glycosaminoglycan Receptors: A Review

Viruses, 2021
Viruses are infectious agents that hijack the host cell machinery in order to replicate and generate progeny. Viral infection is initiated by attachment to host cell receptors, and typical viral receptors are cell-surface-borne molecules such as proteins

Circulating pediatric respiratory pathogens in Taiwan during 2020: Dynamic change under low COVID-19 incidence

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2022
Background: In Taiwan, there were only 799 confirmed COVID-19 cases in 2020. The unique backdrop amidst a pandemic and promotion of nonpharmaceutical interventions generated some distinct changes in the epidemiology of common respiratory pathogens.

Pathogen reduction in human plasma using an ultrashort pulsed laser. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Pathogen reduction is a viable approach to ensure the continued safety of the blood supply against emerging pathogens. However, the currently licensed pathogen reduction techniques are ineffective against non-enveloped viruses such as hepatitis A virus ...

Membrane Rafts: Portals for Viral Entry

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Membrane rafts are dynamic, small (10–200 nm) domains enriched with cholesterol and sphingolipids that compartmentalize cellular processes. Rafts participate in roles essential to the lifecycle of different viral families including virus entry, assembly ...

Deciphering the Origin and Evolution of Hepatitis B Viruses by Means of a Family of Non-enveloped Fish Viruses [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2017
Hepatitis B viruses (HBVs), which are enveloped viruses with reverse-transcribed DNA genomes, constitute the family Hepadnaviridae. An outstanding feature of HBVs is their streamlined genome organization with extensive gene overlap. Remarkably, the ∼1,100 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding the envelope proteins is fully nested within the ORF of the ...

Viral weapons of membrane destruction: variable modes of membrane penetration by non-enveloped viruses [PDF]

Current Opinion in Virology, 2011
Significant progress has recently been obtained in our understanding of cellular entry by nonenveloped viruses (NEVs). A key step in the entry process involves the disruption or remodeling of the limiting cell membrane allowing the virus to gain access to the cellular replication machinery.

Using cryoEM and cryoET to visualize membrane penetration of a non-enveloped virus

STAR Protocols, 2022
Summary: Key to cell entry by non-enveloped viruses is virus-cell interactions at the cell or endosomal membrane. Here, we detail our protocols to capture such interactions between non-enveloped virus bluetongue virus (BTV) and vesicular membrane by ...
