CRISPR-resolved virus-host interactions in a municipal landfill include non-specific viruses, hyper-targeted viral populations, and interviral conflicts [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Viruses are the most abundant microbial guild on the planet, impacting microbial community structure and ecosystem services. Viruses are specifically understudied in engineered environments, including examinations of their host interactions.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 The Dengue virus (DENV) and Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are the arboviruses that pose a threat to global public health. Coinfection and antibody-dependent enhancement are major areas of concern during DENV and CHIKV infections, which can alter the clinical

Viral Hijack of Filamentous Surface Structures in Archaea and Bacteria
Viruses, 2021 The bacterial and archaeal cell surface is decorated with filamentous surface structures that are used for different functions, such as motility, DNA exchange and biofilm formation. Viruses hijack these structures and use them to ride to the cell surface

Epstein–Barr virus–host cell interactions: an epigenetic dialog? [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2014 Here, we wish to highlight the genetic exchange and epigenetic interactions between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and its host. EBV is associated with diverse lymphoid and epithelial malignancies. Their molecular pathogenesis is accompanied by epigenetic alterations which are distinct for each of them.

Archaeal Host Cell Recognition and Viral Binding of HFTV1 to Its Haloferax Host
mBio, 2023 Viruses are highly abundant and the main predator of microorganisms. Microorganisms of each domain of life are infected by dedicated viruses. Viruses infecting archaea are genomically and structurally highly diverse.

Cellular and Genomic Properties of Haloferax gibbonsii LR2-5, the Host of Euryarchaeal Virus HFTV1
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Hypersaline environments are the source of many viruses infecting different species of halophilic euryarchaea. Information on infection mechanisms of archaeal viruses is scarce, due to the lack of genetically accessible virus–host models. Recently, a new

Structural insights into the mechanism of archaellar rotational switching
Nature Communications, 2022 Signal transduction via phosphorylated CheY is conserved in bacteria and archaea. In this study, the authors employ structural biochemistry combined with cell biology to delineate the mechanism of CheY recognition by the adaptor protein CheF.

Growth Phase Dependent Cell Shape of Haloarcula
Microorganisms, 2021 Several haloarchaea are reported to be pleomorphic, while others exhibit remarkable shapes, such as squares. Recently, Haloferax volcanii was found to alter its morphology during growth.

Decreased MIP-3α Production from Antigen-Activated PBMCs in Symptomatic HIV-Infected Subjects
Pathogens, 2021 CD4+ CCR6+ T cells are highly susceptible to HIV infection, and a high cytokine producing CCR6+ T cell subset is selectively lost during HIV infection. The CCR6 chemokine MIP-3α (CCL20) is produced at sites of infection in SIV animal models. Recently, we
