Human Cytomegalovirus UL97 Phosphorylates the Viral Nuclear Egress Complex
Herpesvirus nucleocapsids exit the host cell nucleus in an unusual process known as nuclear egress. The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) UL97 protein kinase is required for efficient nuclear egress, which can be explained by its phosphorylation of the ...

The nucleo-cytoplasmic capsid egress of herpesviruses is a unique regulated process that ensures the efficiency of viral replication and release. For human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), the core of the nuclear egress complex (NEC) consists of the pUL50–pUL53 ...

Structure of a herpesvirus nuclear egress complex subunit reveals an interaction groove that is essential for viral replication. [PDF]
Significance Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important human pathogen. Current anti-HCMV therapies suffer from toxicities, drug resistance, and/or pharmacokinetic limitations. A possible antiviral drug target is a two-subunit complex that orchestrates nuclear egress, an essential, unusual mechanism by which nucleocapsids move from ...

During herpesvirus replication, newly synthesized nucleocapsids exit the nucleus by a vesicle-mediated transport, which requires the nuclear egress complex (NEC), composed of the conserved viral proteins designated as pUL31 and pUL34 in the alphaherpesviruses pseudorabies virus (PrV) and herpes simplex viruses.

Biochemical, Biophysical, and Mutational Analyses of Subunit Interactions of the Human Cytomegalovirus Nuclear Egress Complex [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nuclear egress, the trafficking of herpesvirus nucleocapsids from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, involves two conserved viral proteins that form a complex at the nuclear envelope, referred to as the nuclear egress complex. In human cytomegalovirus, these two proteins are called UL50 and UL53. To study UL50 and UL53 in molecular detail,

Mapping of sequences in Pseudorabies virus pUL34 that are required for formation and function of the nuclear egress complex. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The nuclear egress complex (NEC) is required for efficient translocation of newly synthesized herpesvirus nucleocapsids from the nucleus to the cytosol. It consists of the type II membrane protein pUL34 which interacts with pUL31 at the inner nuclear membrane (INM).

Inhibition of Human Cytomegalovirus Particle Maturation by Activation of Liver X Receptor
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), a herpesvirus family member, is a large, complex enveloped virus. The activation of liver X receptor (LXR) can significantly inhibit the replication of HCMV and weaken the virulence of progeny virus (unpublished data).

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
