FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

A molecular tug-of-war: Global plant proteome changes during viral infection
Current Plant Biology, 2016 Plant pathogenic viruses cause a number of economically important diseases in food, fuel, and fiber crops worldwide. As obligate parasites with highly reduced genomes, viruses rely heavily on their hosts for replication, assembly, intra- and ...

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the

Role of Plasmodesmata During Plant-Pathogen Interactions [PDF]
The Plant Pathology JournalPlasmodesmata (PD) facilitate the continuity of plasma membrane and cytoplasm between plant cells. They are crucial for intercellular communication and signaling. Plant pathogens have developed a diverse array of mechanisms to exploit the PD.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Recent advances in research of plant virus movement mediated by triple gene block
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 The aim of this short review was to summarize recent advances in the field of viral cell-to-cell movement mediated by the triple gene block (TGB). The growing body of new research has uncovered links between virus cell-to-cell trafficking and replication,

Double-spanning Plant Viral Movement Protein Integration into theEndoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Is Signal Recognition Particle-dependent,Translocon-mediated, andConcerted [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 The current model for cell-to-cell movement of plant viruses holds that transport requires virus-encoded movement proteins that intimately associate with endoplasmic reticulum membranes. We have examined the early stages of the integration into endoplasmic reticulum membranes of a double-spanning viral movement protein using photocross-linking. We have

Phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates as molecular glues
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol phosphates (IPs) and phosphoinositides (PIPs) regulate diverse eukaryotic processes. Beyond recruiting signaling proteins or acting as structural cofactors, recent studies suggest they mediate protein–protein interactions as natural molecular glues.

Intracellular coordination of potyviral RNA functions in infection
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Establishment of an infection cycle requires mechanisms to allocate the genomes of (+)-stranded RNA viruses in a balanced ratio to translation, replication, encapsidation, and movement, as well as mechanisms to prevent translocation of viral RNA (vRNA ...

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2009 Plant viruses are composed of diverse genomes (e.g., RNA or DNA) encoding proteins that vary widely in sequence. It is becoming clear, however, that some apparently unrelated viral proteins have similar functions. The P6 protein encoded by Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) and the 126-kDa protein encoded by Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) are examples of this
