The regions of the herpes simplex virus type 1 immediate early protein Vmwl75 required for site specific DNA binding closely correspond to those involved in transcriptional regulation [PDF]
The immediate-early (IE) protein Vmw175 (ICP4) of HSV-1 is required for the transcription of later classes of viral genes and the repression of IE gene expression.

Activation of TLR4 by viral glycoproteins: A double-edged sword?
Recognition of viral infection by pattern recognition receptors is paramount for a successful immune response to viral infection. However, an unbalanced proinflammatory response can be detrimental to the host.

Map3k14 as a Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immune Response during Acute Viral Infection
The replication of virus in secondary lymphoid organs is crucial for the activation of antigen-presenting cells. Balanced viral replication ensures the sufficient availability of antigens and production of cytokines, and both of which are needed for ...

Endosymbiotic RNA virus inhibits Leishmania-induced caspase-11 activation
Summary: New World species of the intracellular protozoan parasites of the Leishmania genus can cause mucocutaneous leishmaniases. The presence of an endosymbiotic Leishmania RNA virus (LRV) in Leishmania guyanensis (L.g.) promotes disease exacerbation ...

Viral factors in influenza pandemic risk assessment [PDF]
The threat of an influenza A virus pandemic stems from continual virus spillovers from reservoir species, a tiny fraction of which spark sustained transmission in humans.

The formin FHOD1 and the small GTPase Rac1 promote vaccinia virus actin-based motility [PDF]
Vaccinia virus dissemination relies on the N-WASP– ARP2/3 pathway, which mediates actin tail formation underneath cell-associated extracellular viruses (CEVs).

Apoptotic epitope-specific CD8+ T cells and interferon signaling intersect in chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]
CD8(+) T cells specific to caspase-cleaved antigens derived from apoptotic T cells represent a principal player in chronic immune activation (CIA). Here, we found that both apoptotic epitope (AE)-specific and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8(+) T ...

Two-year follow-up of macaques developing intermittent control of the human immunodeficiency virus homolog simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac251 in the chronic phase of infection [PDF]
Off-therapy control of viremia by HIV-infected individuals has been associated with two likely players: a restricted viral reservoir and an efficient cell-mediated immune response.
