Cellular location and activity of Escherichia coli RecG proteins shed light on the function of its structurally unresolved C-terminus [PDF]
RecG is a DNA translocase encoded by most species of bacteria. The Escherichia coli protein targets branched DNA substrates and drives the unwinding and rewinding of DNA strands.

c-Myc accelerates S-phase and requires WRN to avoid replication stress. [PDF]
c-Myc interacts with components of the pre-replication complex and directly regulates DNA replication [1]. However the consequences of this novel c-Myc function on cell cycle dynamics and replication-associated damage are unknown.

Inhibition of protein kinases C prevents murine cytomegalovirus replication
For successful establishment of infection and initiation of the replication cycle, murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) utilizes cellular structures and functions, including cell-membrane penetration, capsid dismantling and cytosolic transport of viral DNA into the nucleus. These early events of MCMV infections are dependent on cellular regulatory mechanisms,

The V protein of canine distemper virus is required for virus replication in human epithelial cells. [PDF]
Canine distemper virus (CDV) becomes able to use human receptors through a single amino acid substitution in the H protein. In addition, CDV strains possessing an intact C protein replicate well in human epithelial H358 cells.

Inhibition of hepatitis C virus RNA replication by ISG15 does not require its conjugation to protein substrates by the HERC5 E3 ligase [PDF]
Chronic infection of the liver by hepatitis C virus (HCV) induces a range of host factors including IFN-stimulated genes such as ISG15. ISG15 functions as an antiviral factor that limits virus replication. Previous studies have suggested that ISG15 could

Normal Replication of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus without C Proteins
The expression of two small basic proteins (C and C') encoded by a second open reading frame of the New Jersey serotype of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) P gene was reported previously (Spiropoulou and Nichol, J. Virol., 67, 3103-3110, 1993). Here we found that the Indiana serotype virus also expressed C and C' proteins from this reading frame.

Inhibition of protein kinase C promotes dengue virus replication
Dengue virus (DENV) is a member of the Flaviviridae family, transmitted to human via mosquito. DENV infection is common in tropical areas and occasionally causes life-threatening symptoms. DENV contains a relatively short positive-stranded RNA genome, which encodes ten viral proteins.
