Expression and function of osteopontin variants in HCV-related liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
Osteopontin (OPN) is a highly secreted multi-functional sialoprotein that is widely expressed in tissues, blood and urine. It is involved in a number of normal physiological functions, but is also significantly elevated in a number of cancers.

In wild‐type cells, FIPV infection recruits CLTC to nsp3, facilitates DMV biogenesis and block autophagic flux to promote viral replication. CLTC knockout impairs autophagosome nucleation by reducing Beclin1–ATG14 complex expression. This disrupts the formation of autophagic precursor membranes, thereby preventing their hijacking by nsp3 for DMV ...

Defined mutations in the 5' nontranslated sequence of Sindbis virus RNA [PDF]
We have constructed 24 deletion mutants which contain deletions of from 1 to 15 nucleotides in the 5' nontranslated region of Sindbis virus RNA and tested the effect of these mutations on virus replication.

A HSV1 mutant leads to an attenuated phenotype and induces immunity with a protective effect.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) is a complicated structural agent with a sophisticated transcription process and a high infection rate. A vaccine against HSV1 is urgently needed.

Characterizing the turnover of viral nonstructural proteins of the hepatitis C virus
After infection of the host cell, the RNA of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is translated to the polyprotein followed by cleavage into the structural and nonstructural proteins. The structural proteins are released as viral particles from the host cell, while the equimolar amount of produced nonstructural proteins remain in the cell.

The flavivirus NS1 protein: molecular and structural biology, immunology, role in pathogenesis and application as a diagnostic biomarker [PDF]
The flavivirus nonstructural glycoprotein NS1 is an enigmatic protein whose structure and mechanistic function have remained somewhat elusive ever since it was first reported in 1970 as a viral antigen circulating in the sera of dengue-infected patients.

RNA viruses have notoriously high mutation rates due to error-prone replication by their RNA polymerase. However, natural selection concentrates variability in a few key viral proteins.

Akabane virus nonstructural protein NSm regulates viral growth and pathogenicity in a mouse model
The biological function of a nonstructural protein, NSm, of Akabane virus (AKAV) is unknown. In this study, we generated a series of NSm deletion mutant viruses by reverse genetics and compared their phenotypes. The mutant in which the NSm coding region was almost completely deleted could not be rescued, suggesting that NSm plays a role in virus ...
