Membrane activity of viral proteins. [PDF]
Biophys Rev, 2023 COVID-19 infection, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, has led to the largest pandemic since the Spanish flu in 1918. In view of this, the development of vaccines and antiviral drugs that can stop the spread of this infection has become an acute issue. Currently, in the search for antiviral drugs against COVID-19, much attention is paid to the study

A viral ubiquitin ligase has substrate preferential SUMO targeted ubiquitin ligase activity that counteracts intrinsic antiviral defence [PDF]
, 2011 Intrinsic antiviral resistance represents the first line of intracellular defence against virus infection. During herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) infection this response can lead to the repression of viral gene expression but is counteracted by the ...

Unpicking the Secrets of African Swine Fever Viral Replication Sites
Viruses, 2021 African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a highly contagious pathogen which causes a lethal haemorrhagic fever in domestic pigs and wild boar. The large, double-stranded DNA virus replicates in perinuclear cytoplasmic replication sites known as viral ...

Induction of Noxa-mediated apoptosis by modified vaccinia virus Ankara depends on viral recognition by cytosolic helicases, leading to IRF-3/IFN-β-dependent induction of pro-apoptotic Noxa. [PDF]
, 2011 Viral infection is a stimulus for apoptosis, and in order to sustain viral replication many viruses are known to carry genes encoding apoptosis inhibitors. F1L, encoded by the orthopoxvirus modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) has a Bcl-2-like structure.

Characterisation of a rare, reassortant human G10P[14] rotavirus strain detected in Honduras
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo CruzBACKGROUND Although first detected in animals, the rare rotavirus strain G10P[14] has been sporadically detected in humans in Slovenia, Thailand, United Kingdom and Australia among other countries. Earlier studies suggest that the strains found in humans

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1: Role of proteins in the context of viral life cycle
Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2022 The Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a major global pandemic and of paramount public health concern. Over the years, antiretroviral therapy (ART) has emerged as the gold standard of AIDS treatment.

Super-resolution microscopy reveals specific recruitment of HIV-1 envelope proteins to viral assembly sites dependent on the envelope C-terminal tail [PDF]
, 2013 The inner structural Gag proteins and the envelope (Env) glycoproteins of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) traffic independently to the plasma membrane, where they assemble the nascent virion. HIV-1 carries a relatively low number of glycoproteins in

CD4+ T Cell Depletion in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Infection: Role of Apoptosis
Viruses, 2011 Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is principally a mucosal disease and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the major site of HIV replication. Loss of CD4+ T cells and systemic immune hyperactivation are the hallmarks of HIV infection.

APOBEC3 Proteins in Viral Immunity [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2015 Abstract Apolipoprotein B editing complex 3 family members are cytidine deaminases that play important roles in intrinsic responses to infection by retroviruses and have been implicated in the control of other viruses, such as parvoviruses, herpesviruses, papillomaviruses, hepatitis B virus, and retrotransposons.

Non-viral approaches to gene therapy [PDF]
, 1993 Several advances in non-viral gene transfer technology have been reported over the past year. Cationic lipids have been successfully used to deliver genes in vivo, providing a clear alternative to recombinant viruses.
