Podocan‐Like Protein 1 as a Novel Contributor to HIV‐Associated Pulmonary Vascular Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Thanks to the advent of combination antiretroviral therapy, life expectancy has noticeably increased in people with HIV; however, they also display an elevated susceptibility to developing severe pulmonary vascular disease.

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Zika virus Pathogenesis and Targeted Intervention Strategies

Viruses
Zika virus (ZIKV), a mosquito-borne member of the Flaviviridae family, is primarily transmitted via the bite of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes but can also be spread through sexual contact and vertical transmission.

Soft motions encoded by the fold and mediated by conserved hinge sites drive V‐ATPase allosteric machinery and autoinhibition

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Vacuolar H+‐ATPase (V‐ATPase) is a multisubunit rotary proton pump that acidifies intracellular compartments. Using elastic network models, we identified conserved hinge residues that govern its large‐scale functional motions. We show that intrinsically encoded ‘soft modes’ drive critical functional transitions, including rotary catalysis and ...

Entrapment of viral capsids in nuclear PML cages is an intrinsic antiviral host defense against varicella-zoster virus. [PDF]

, 2011
The herpesviruses, like most other DNA viruses, replicate in the host cell nucleus. Subnuclear domains known as promyelocytic leukemia protein nuclear bodies (PML-NBs), or ND10 bodies, have been implicated in restricting early herpesviral gene expression.

HIV-induced autophagy suppression in tuberculosis pathogenesis: from mechanisms to therapeutic implications

Frontiers in Immunology
Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of death among people living with HIV (PLWH) despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), with HIV infection increasing the risk of active TB by 16 to 27-fold. Even among virologically suppressed individuals

Unlocking the potential of cell‐permeable nanobodies for intracellular applications

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review outlines current strategies for delivery of nanobodies into cells and highlights recent examples of functional applications. By addressing and manipulating intracellular targets, these molecules hold great potential for treating cancer, respiratory diseases and neurological disorders, making this a vibrant area of research in the biomedical

Studies on influenza A virus PB1-F2 protein [PDF]

, 2011
The influenza A virus genome codes for up to 12 proteins. Segment 2 encodes three proteins, the polymerase subunit PB1, a small protein PB1-F2 and an N-terminally truncated version of PB1 called N40. Different functions have been reported for PB1-F2 such

Autophagy Proteins in Viral Exocytosis and Anti-Viral Immune Responses [PDF]

Viruses, 2017
Abstract: Autophagy-related (Atg) gene-encoded proteins were originally described for their crucial role in macroautophagy, a catabolic pathway for cytoplasmic constituent degradation in lysosomes. Recently it has become clear that modules of this machinery can also be used to influence endo- and exocytosis.

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.
