Background Envelope (E) glycoprotein E2 of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) mediates binding of the virus to target cell receptors. Nevertheless, the precise role of E1 in viral entry remains elusive.

Chimeric piggyBac transposases for genomic targeting in human cells. [PDF]
Integrating vectors such as viruses and transposons insert transgenes semi-randomly and can potentially disrupt or deregulate genes. For these techniques to be of therapeutic value, a method for controlling the precise location of insertion is required ...

Adenovirus E1A Activation Domain Regulates H3 Acetylation Affecting Varied Steps in Transcription at Different Viral Promoters. [PDF]
How histone acetylation promotes transcription is not clearly understood. Here, we confirm an interaction between p300 and the adenovirus 2 large E1A activation domain (AD) and map the interacting regions in E1A by observing colocalization at an ...

The Fusion Activity of HIV-1 gp41 Depends on Interhelical Interactions [PDF]
Infection by human immunodeficiency virus type I requires the fusogenic activity of gp41, the transmembrane subunit of the viral envelope protein. Crystallographic studies have revealed that fusion-active gp41 is a "trimer-of-hairpins" in which three ...

The nanostructure, size, and function of mRNA‐loaded lipid nanoparticles are evaluated before drying, within polymer microneedles, and after rehydration. The results reveal the polymer and LNP loadings required to recover nanostructure and preserve the delivery performance in dry‐state formulations.

Receptor-Activated Binding of Viral Fusion Proteins to Target Membranes
This chapter describes three assays to monitor receptor-induced association of the envelope glycoprotein (EnvA) of avian sarcoma/leukosis virus (ASLV) with target bilayers: (1) the original assay for monitoring binding of the EnvA ectodomain (EnvA-PI) to target membranes (liposomes), (2) a modified and miniaturized EnvA-PI-liposome binding assay, and ...

IFITM Genes, Variants, and Their Roles in the Control and Pathogenesis of Viral Infections
Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) are a family of small proteins that localize in the plasma and endolysosomal membranes. IFITMs not only inhibit viral entry into host cells by interrupting the membrane fusion between viral envelope and ...
