Bergamottin Inhibits PRRSV Replication by Blocking Viral Non-Structural Proteins Expression and Viral RNA Synthesis

Viruses, 2023
The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) causes economic losses in the swine industry worldwide. However, current vaccines cannot provide effective protection against PRRSV, and PRRSV-specific treatments for infected herds are ...

MultiBac: from protein complex structures to synthetic viral nanosystems [PDF]

BMC Biology, 2017
The MultiBac baculovirus/insect cell expression vector system was conceived as a user-friendly, modular tool-kit for producing multiprotein complexes for structural biology applications. MultiBac has allowed the structure and function of many molecular machines to be elucidated, including previously inaccessible high-value drug targets.

Keeping It Together: Structures, Functions, and Applications of Viral Decoration Proteins [PDF]

Viruses, 2020
Decoration proteins are viral accessory gene products that adorn the surfaces of some phages and viral capsids, particularly tailed dsDNA phages. These proteins often play a “cementing” role, reinforcing capsids against accumulating internal pressure due to genome packaging, or environmental insults such as extremes of temperature or pH.

Superimposition of Viral Protein Structures: A Means to Decipher the Phylogenies of Viruses [PDF]

Viruses, 2020
Superimposition of protein structures is key in unravelling structural homology across proteins whose sequence similarity is lost. Structural comparison provides insights into protein function and evolution. Here, we review some of the original findings and thoughts that have led to the current established structure-based phylogeny of viruses: starting

HIV-1 Structural Proteins or Cell-Signaling Factors? That Is the Question!

Current Issues in Molecular Biology
The biological activity of structural HIV-1 proteins is not limited to ensuring a productive viral infection but also interferes with cellular homeostasis through intra- and extracellular signaling activation.

Varicellovirus UL 49.5 proteins differentially affect the function of the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP

, 2008
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes play an important role in the protection against viral infections, which they detect through the recognition of virus-derived peptides, presented in the context of MHC class I molecules at the surface of the infected cell.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Structural Studies on Bacteriophage Portal Proteins [PDF]

, 2013
In tailed bacteriophages and evolutionarily related herpes viruses, the portal protein is a central component of the DNA packaging molecular motor, which translocates viral genomic DNA into a preformed procapsid.

The Viral Replication Complex Is Associated with the Virulence of Newcastle Disease Virus

, 2010
Virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus ([NDV] also known as avian paramyxovirus type 1) can be discriminated from low-virulence strains by the presence of multiple basic amino acid residues at the proteolytic cleavage site of the fusion (F) protein.
