Identification and characterization of a novel non-structural protein of bluetongue virus [PDF]
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is the causative agent of a major disease of livestock (bluetongue). For over two decades, it has been widely accepted that the 10 segments of the dsRNA genome of BTV encode for 7 structural and 3 non-structural proteins.

Virus-Host Interactions during Movement Processes [PDF]
Plant viruses must invade and infect as much of their hosts as possible to maximize their chances of successful perpetuation. They move cell to cell via plasmodesmata (PD), which they modify to a greater or lesser extent, and to distant parts of the plant through the vascular system.

Assembly principles of a unique cage formed by hexameric and decameric E. coli proteins
A 3.3 MDa macromolecular cage between two Escherichia coli proteins with seemingly incompatible symmetries–the hexameric AAA+ ATPase RavA and the decameric inducible lysine decarboxylase LdcI–is reconstructed by cryo-electron microscopy to 11 Å ...

Influenza virus sequence feature variant type analysis: evidence of a role for NS1 in influenza virus host range restriction [PDF]
Genetic drift of influenza virus genomic sequences occurs through the combined effects of sequence alterations introduced by a low fidelity polymerase and the varying selective pressures experienced as the virus migrates through different host ...

Viruses display remarkable specificity in both the host species and the cell types that they infect. Understanding this specificity reveals insight into the basic host components that are required for the viral life cycle and host restriction factors that limit the virus.

The SARS-coronavirus-host interactome [PDF]
Coronaviruses (CoVs) are important human and animal pathogens that induce fatal respiratory, gastrointestinal and neurological disease. The outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002/2003 has demonstrated human vulnerability to ...

Interactions between vaccinia virus and sensitized macrophages in vitro [PDF]
The action of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) from normal and vaccinia virus infected mice on infectious vaccinia virus particles was investigatedin vitro. PEC from immune mice showed a significantly higher infectivity titre reduction (virus clearance, VC)

A transient homotypic interaction model for the influenza A virus NS1 protein effector domain [PDF]
Influenza A virus NS1 protein is a multifunctional virulence factor consisting of an RNA binding domain (RBD), a short linker, an effector domain (ED), and a C-terminal 'tail'. Although poorly understood, NS1 multimerization may autoregulate its actions.

Diet quality determines interspecific parasite interactions in host populations [PDF]
The widespread occurrence of multiple infections and the often vast range of nutritional resources for their hosts allow that interspecific parasite interactions in natural host populations might be determined by host diet quality. Nevertheless, the role
