Structural basis of the association of HIV-1 matrix protein with DNA.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
HIV-1 matrix (MA) is a multifunctional protein that is synthesized as a polyprotein that is cleaved by protease during viral maturation. MA contains a cluster of basic residues whose role is controversial.

Both matrix proteins of Ebola virus contribute to the regulation of viral genome replication and transcription

open access: yesVirology, 2010
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes severe hemorrhagic fevers in humans and non-human primates. While the role of the EBOV major matrix protein VP40 in morphogenesis is well understood, nothing is known about its contributions to the regulation of viral genome replication and/or transcription.

Nucleotide sequence and genomic organization of an ophiovirus associated with lettuce big-vein disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The complete nucleotide sequence of an ophiovirus associated with lettuce big-vein disease has been elucidated. The genome consisted of four RNA molecules of approximately 7ò8, 1ò7, 1ò5 and 1ò4 kb.

Long non‐coding RNAs as therapeutic targets in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and clinical application

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy an abundant fraction of the eukaryotic transcriptome and an emerging area in cancer research. Regulation by lncRNAs is based on their subcellular localization in HNSCC. This cartoon shows the various functions of lncRNAs in HNSCC discussed in this review.

Short peptide perturbs spermatogenesis via immune microenvironment dysregulation and mitochondrial imbalance

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In the blood–testis barrier, occludin is crucial for tight junctions. This study demonstrates that occludin‐targeting short peptides disrupt junction integrity, inducing immune cell infiltration, tumor necrosis factor‐α/interleukin‐6 secretion and mitochondrial dysfunction, ultimately triggering apoptosis.

A single amino acid mutation, R42A, in the Newcastle disease virus matrix protein abrogates its nuclear localization and attenuates viral replication and pathogenicity.

open access: yesJournal of General Virology, 2014
The Newcastle disease virus (NDV) matrix (M) protein is a highly basic and nucleocytoplasmic shuttling viral protein. Previous study has demonstrated that the N-terminal 100 aa of NDV M protein are somewhat acidic overall, but the remainder of the ...

Reverse genetics system for Chandipura virus: Tagging the viral matrix protein with green fluorescent protein

open access: yesVirus Research, 2011
Chandipura virus (CV; genus Vesiculovirus, family Rhabdoviridae) is an emerging arbovirus, responsible for a number of outbreaks of severe viral encephalitis affecting children in India. A reverse genetics system has been constructed which allows recovery of infectious recombinant CV (rCV) entirely from cDNA.

Global Transcriptomic Profiling of Bovine Endometrial Immune Response In Vitro. II. Effect of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus on the Endometrial Response to Lipopolysaccharide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Infection with noncytopathic bovine viral diarrhea virus (ncpBVDV) is associated with uterine disease and infertility. This study investigated the influence of ncpBVDV on immune functions of the bovine endometrium by testing the response to bacterial ...

An efficient strategy for producing RNA‐free Nucleocapsid protein of SARS‐CoV‐2 for biochemical and structural investigations

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cleavable N‐terminal Thioredoxin fusion enabled soluble expression and purification of otherwise insoluble SARS‐CoV‐2 Nucleocapsid (N) protein. A four‐step purification strategy yielded highly homogeneous, RNA‐free N protein. Binding assays showed high RNA affinity (Kd ~ 28 nm). The study will facilitate high‐resolution structural studies of N protein,
