The NTD-CTD intersubunit interface plays a critical role in assembly and stabilization of the HIV-1 capsid [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Lentiviruses exhibit a cone-shaped capsid composed of subunits of the viral CA protein. The intrinsic stability of the capsid is critical for HIV-1 infection, since both stabilizing and destabilizing mutations compromise viral infectivity ...

Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Viral Infection and Immunology

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
LLPS organizes viral replication and antiviral immunity. Viruses hijack LLPS to form replication factories and evade immune sensors, while hosts assemble LLPS‐driven signaling hubs (e.g., MAVS, RIG‐I, and SGs) to amplify interferon responses. Targeting these condensate interfaces offers novel therapeutic strategies against infectious diseases ...

Uncoating the Herpes Simplex Virus Genome [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2007
Initiation of infection by herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) involves a step in which the parental virus capsid docks at a nuclear pore and injects its DNA into the nucleus. Once "uncoated" in this way, the virus DNA can be transcribed and replicated. In an effort to clarify the mechanism of DNA injection, we examined DNA release as it occurs in purified ...

Synergistic antiviral activity against human adenovirus through combination of itraconazole and brincidofovir

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 7, Page 1578-1601, April 2026.
Background and Purpose Human adenovirus (HAdV) causes respiratory or gastrointestinal tract infections depending on the virus subtype. While HAdV infections are generally self‐limiting in immunocompetent people, they can result in significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised adults and children.

Uncoating of influenza virus in endosomes [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 1984
The intracellular uncoating site of influenza virus was studied by measuring the fluorescence intensity of probes conjugated to the virus or the isolated hemagglutinin and also by assaying virus replication under various incubation conditions. Acidification of the viral environment was monitored by the decrease in the fluorescence intensity of ...

How Viruses Use the VCP/p97 ATPase Molecular Machine

Viruses, 2021
Viruses are obligate intracellular parasites that are dependent on host factors for their replication. One such host protein, p97 or the valosin-containing protein (VCP), is a highly conserved AAA ATPase that facilitates replication of diverse RNA- and ...

Structure of the herpes-simplex virus portal-vertex [PDF]

, 2018
Herpesviruses include many important human pathogens such as herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster virus, and the oncogenic Epstein–Barr virus and Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus.

Characterization of Zika virus endocytic pathways in human glioblastoma cells [PDF]

, 2020
Zika virus (ZIKV) infections can cause microcephaly and neurological disorders. However, the early infection events of ZIKV in neural cells remain to be characterized. Here, by using a combination of pharmacological and molecular approaches and the human

Insights Into the Antigenic Repertoire of Unclassified Synaptic Antibodies

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 547-561, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective We sought to characterize the sixth most common finding in our neuroimmunological laboratory practice (tissue assay‐observed unclassified neural antibodies [UNAs]), combining protein microarray and phage immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP‐Seq). Methods Patient specimens (258; 133 serums; 125 CSF) meeting UNA criteria were profiled;

Virus adaptation to heparan sulfate comes with capsid stability tradeoff

eLife
Because of high mutation rates, viruses constantly adapt to new environments. When propagated in cell lines, certain viruses acquire positively charged amino acids on their surface proteins, enabling them to utilize negatively charged heparan sulfate (HS)
