The Morphology and Assembly of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Revealed by Cryo-Electron Tomography

open access: yesViruses, 2018
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease in young children. With repeat infections throughout life, it can also cause substantial disease in the elderly and in adults with compromised cardiac ...

Tailoring the Properties of Functional Materials With N‐Oxides

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The properties of materials bearing N‐oxide groups are often dominated by the polar N+─O− bond. It provides hydrophilicity, selective ion‐binding, electric conductivity, or antifouling properties. Many of the underlying mechanisms have only recently been discovered, and the interest in N‐oxide materials is rapidly growing.

The Effects of Viral Structural Proteins on Acidic Phospholipids in Host Membranes

open access: yesViruses
Enveloped viruses rely on host membranes for trafficking and assembly. A substantial body of literature published over the years supports the involvement of cellular membrane lipids in the enveloped virus assembly processes.

Programmable DNA‐Peptide Hybrid Nanostructures for Potent Neutralization of Multiple Influenza a Virus Subtypes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multivalent antiviral platform based on honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructures (HC–Urumin) is developed to enhance the potency and breadth of the host defense peptide Urumin. Through spatially patterned trimeric presentation, HC–Urumin disrupts influenza A virus entry, improves cell viability, and reduces disease severity in vivo‐offering a modular and ...

Structure of a new capsid form and comparison with A-, B-, and C-capsids clarify herpesvirus assembly

open access: yesJournal of Virology
Three capsid types have been recognized from the nuclei of herpesvirus-infected cells: empty A-capsids, scaffolding-containing B-capsids, and DNA-filled C-capsids.

Influenza virus assembly

open access: yes, 2015
Influenza A Viren besitzen ein segmentiertes, einzelsträngiges RNA-Genom, welches in Form viraler Ribonukleoprotein (vRNP)-Komplexe verpackt ist. Während das virale Genom im Zellkern repliziert wird, finden Assemblierung und Knospung reifer Viruspartikel an der apikalen Plasmamembran statt.

Hepatitis B Virus Nucleocapsid Assembly

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology
Hepatitis B virus (HBV), the prototypical member of the Hepadnaviridae family, is a DNA virus that replicates its genome through reverse transcription of a pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) precursor. The selective packaging of pgRNA and viral polymerase (Pol) into assembling capsids formed by the viral core protein-a process known as nucleocapsid assembly-is an ...

Bimetallic Nanoreactor Activates cGAS‐STING Pathway via mtDNA Release for Cancer Metalloimmunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A bimetallic Mn–Ca nanoreactor (MCC) is developed as a non‐nucleotide STING nanoagonist for cancer metalloimmunotherapy. MCC induces Ca2+ overload and hydroxyl radical generation, resulting in mitochondrial damage and mtDNA release. The released mtDNA cooperates with Mn2+ to robustly activate cGAS–STING signaling.

A monomeric envelope glycoprotein cytoplasmic tail is sufficient for HIV-1 Gag lattice trapping and incorporation

open access: yesJournal of Virology
To become infectious, assembling enveloped viruses must acquire viral glycoproteins to mediate downstream infection events. Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoproteins (Env) are well characterized to function as trimers for membrane ...
