A Divergent Variant of the Eleventh Human Polyomavirus Species, Saint Louis Polyomavirus [PDF]

Genome Announcements, 2013
ABSTRACT Saint Louis polyomavirus (STLPyV) was recently discovered in human feces. Using random-primed rolling circle amplification combined with deep sequencing, we have found a divergent variant of STLPyV in a sanitized human skin wart specimen.

Functional Specialization of Clathrin‐Independent Endocytic Routes: Mechanisms and Cellular Roles

Traffic, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
Distinct clathrin‐independent endocytic (CIE) routes support specialized cellular functions across different contexts. Created with Biorender.com. ABSTRACT Clathrin‐independent endocytosis (CIE) comprises a diverse repertoire of internalization mechanisms that operate in parallel with clathrin‐mediated endocytosis.

Human Polyomaviruses in Children Undergoing Transplantation, United States, 2008–2010

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012
Immunocompromised patients are at risk for disease caused by infection by some polyomaviruses. To define the prevalence of polyomaviruses in children undergoing transplantation, we collected samples from a longitudinal cohort and tested for the 9 known ...

A Snapshot of the UK Blood Donor Plasma Virome: A Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimates of population prevalence and genetic diversity of bloodborne viruses in healthy humans are essential to support population‐scale monitoring for transfusion transmission risk. In the UK and globally, blood donations are routinely screened for a limited number of high‐consequence pathogens, but the full composition of the plasma virome

Polyomavirus genome and polyomavirus enhancer-driven gene expression during myogenesis [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1989
The mRNAs for myogenic functions are coordinately transcribed with polyomavirus (Py) early mRNA during in vitro differentiation of mouse C2 myoblast cells. Sequence analysis shows that the A domain of the Py enhancer includes an E1A-like consensus sequence that is also found in the 5' upstream region of two genes expressed during myoblast ...

Absence of DNA viruses in ameloblastomas

European Journal of Oral Sciences, Volume 134, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Ameloblastomas (ABs) are rare odontogenic benign tumors. Although studies of the molecular pathogenesis have revealed the presence of mutations and altered gene expression, the etiology is unresolved. Viruses cause 10%–15 % of cancers, but their potential role within benign tumors is less studied.

Chk1 and the Host Cell DNA Damage Response as a Potential Antiviral Target in BK Polyomavirus Infection

Viruses, 2021
The human BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is latent in the kidneys of most adults, but can be reactivated in immunosuppressed states, such as following renal transplantation.

Molecular and Phylogenetic Characterization of HTLV‐1 Infection in Patients With Hematological Malignancies in the State of Pará, Northern Brazil

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Human T‐lymphotropic viruses 1 and 2 (HTLV‐1 and HTLV‐2) were first isolated from patients with hematological malignancies. This study was the first to investigate the frequency of HTLV‐1 and its molecular diversity among patients with hematolymphoid cancers who were treated at a leading reference hospital in Pará, northern Brazil.

Polyomavirus T Antigen Induces APOBEC3B Expression Using an LXCXE-Dependent and TP53-Independent Mechanism

mBio, 2019
APOBEC3B is a single-stranded DNA cytosine deaminase with beneficial innate antiviral functions. However, misregulated APOBEC3B can also be detrimental by inflicting APOBEC signature C-to-T and C-to-G mutations in genomic DNA of multiple cancer types ...
