Modelling and in vitro testing of the HIV-1 Nef fitness landscape. [PDF]
, 2019 An effective vaccine is urgently required to curb the HIV-1 epidemic. We have previously described an approach to model the fitness landscape of several HIV-1 proteins, and have validated the results against experimental and clinical data.

Regulation of Molecular Chaperone GRP78 by Hepatitis B Virus: Control of Viral Replication and Cell Survival [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2020 Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains a global health problem, carrying a high risk for progression into cirrhosis and liver failure. Molecular chaperones are involved in diverse pathophysiological processes including viral infection. However, the role of molecular chaperones in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and its underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Metabolic interference impairs influenza A virus replication by dampening vRNA synthesis
npj VirusesFor replication, viruses exploit the host cell metabolism for biosynthesis of viral components. Recently, we could show that inhibition of glycolysis interfered with IAV replication by impairing the regulation of the viral polymerase as a transcriptase ...

mBio, 2017 Human papillomavirus (HPV) genomes are replicated and maintained as extrachromosomal plasmids during persistent infection. The viral E2 proteins are thought to promote stable maintenance replication by tethering the viral DNA to host chromatin.

Viral DNA Replication Orientation and hnRNPs Regulate Transcription of the Human Papillomavirus 18 Late Promoter [PDF]
mBio, 2017 ABSTRACT The life cycle of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) is tightly linked to keratinocyte differentiation. Although expression of viral early genes is initiated immediately upon virus infection of undifferentiated basal cells, viral DNA amplification and late gene expression occur only in the mid to upper strata of the ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Tuning Rex rules HTLV-1 pathogenesis
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 HTLV-1 is an oncovirus causing ATL and other inflammatory diseases such as HAM/TSP and HU in about 5% of infected individuals. It is also known that HTLV-1-infected cells maintain a disease-free, immortalized, latent state throughout the lifetimes of ...

Wolbachia and arbovirus inhibition in mosquitoes [PDF]
, 2013 Wolbachia is a maternally inherited intracellular bacteria that can manipulate the reproduction of their insect hosts, and cytoplasmic incompatibility allows them to spread through mosquito populations.

PLoS Pathogens, 2007 Although multiple studies have documented the expression of over 70 novel virus-encoded microRNAs (miRNAs), the targets and functions of most of these regulatory RNA species are unknown. In this study a comparative bioinformatics approach was employed to identify potential human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) mRNA targets of the virus-encoded miRNA miR-UL112-1.
