Emerging coronaviruses: Genome structure, replication, and pathogenesis
The recent emergence of a novel coronavirus (2019‐nCoV), which is causing an outbreak of unusual viral pneumonia in patients in Wuhan, a central city in China, is another warning of the risk of CoVs posed to public health.

RNase P Ribozymes Inhibit the Replication of Human Cytomegalovirus by Targeting Essential Viral Capsid Proteins. [PDF]
An engineered RNase P-based ribozyme variant, which was generated using the in vitro selection procedure, was used to target the overlapping mRNA region of two proteins essential for human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) replication: capsid assembly protein (AP ...

Replication of Epstein-Barr Viral DNA [PDF]
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a paradigm for human tumor viruses: it is the first virus recognized to cause cancer in people; it causes both lymphomas and carcinomas; yet these tumors arise infrequently given that most people in the world are infected with the virus. EBV is maintained extrachromosomally in infected normal and tumor cells.

Viral quasispecies profiles as the result of the interplay of competition and cooperation [PDF]
Viral quasispecies can be regarded as a swarm of genetically related mutants or a quasispecies (QS). A common formalism to approach QS is the replicator-mutator equation (RME). However, a problem with the RME is how to quantify the interaction coefficients between viral variants.

FUSE binding protein FUBP3 is a potent regulator in Japanese encephalitis virus infection
Background The JEV genome is a positive-sense RNA with a highly structured capped 5′UTR, 3′UTR and a large open reading frame. 3′UTR is the untranslated region of flavivirus and has various important functions during viral replication, such as ...

Rhinovirus induces an anabolic reprogramming in host cell metabolism essential for viral replication
Significance Rhinovirus (RV) is the causative agent of the common cold and other respiratory tract infections. Despite the vast prevalence, effective treatment or prevention strategies are lacking.

Unraveling Mycobacterium tuberculosis acid resistance and pH homeostasis mechanisms
Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibits a remarkable resilience to acid stress. In this Review, we discuss some of the molecular mechanisms and metabolic pathways used by the tubercle bacilli to adapt and resist host‐mediated acid stress. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a successful pathogen that has developed a variety of strategies to survive and ...

Selection strategies for randomly partitioned genetic replicators [PDF]
The amplification cycle of many replicators (natural or artificial) involves the usage of a host compartment, inside of which the replicator express phenotypic compounds necessary to carry out its genetic replication. For example, viruses infect cells, where they express their own proteins and replicate.

IFITM proteins inhibit the late step of feline foamy virus replication
Interferon-induced transmembrane (IFITM) proteins as host restriction factors are known to inhibit the replication of several viruses. In this study, transient IFITM expression vectors were used to investigate whether IFITMs inhibit feline foamy viral ...
