Paramyxovirus V proteins interact with the RNA helicase LGP2 to inhibit RIG-I-dependent interferon induction [PDF]
This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust (grant AL087751/B)RIG-I and mda-5 are activated by viral RNA and stimulate type I interferon production. Laboratory of genetics and physiology 2 (LGP2) shares homology with RIG-I and mda-5 but lacks the CARD ...

Parenteral vaccination of mammalian livestock with Newcastle disease virus-based vector vaccines offers optimal efficacy and safety [PDF]
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an avian virus that is being evaluated as a vaccine vector for the delivery of foreign genes in mammals. The use of NDV as a vaccine vector in these species offers two major advantages.

The R2TP complex regulates paramyxovirus RNA synthesis.
The regulation of paramyxovirus RNA synthesis by host proteins is poorly understood. Here, we identified a novel regulation mechanism of paramyxovirus RNA synthesis by the Hsp90 co-chaperone R2TP complex.

Investigation of histopathological alteration of paramyxovirus-1 in naturally infected racing pigeons [PDF]
The current study aimed to investigate the infection of racing pigeons with paramyxovirus-1(PMV-1) based on clinical signs of histological and histochemical changes, which increase the mortality rate in flocks called pigeons paramyxovirus.

Monomeric ephrinB2 binding induces allosteric changes in Nipah virus G that precede its full activation. [PDF]
Nipah virus is an emergent paramyxovirus that causes deadly encephalitis and respiratory infections in humans. Two glycoproteins coordinate the infection of host cells, an attachment protein (G), which binds to cell surface receptors, and a fusion (F ...
