In situ molecular organization and heterogeneity of the Legionella Dot/Icm T4SS

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present a nearly complete in situ model of the Legionella Dot/Icm type IV secretion system, revealing its central secretion channel and identifying new components. Using cryo‐electron tomography with AI‐based modeling, our work highlights the structure, variability, and mechanism of this complex nanomachine, advancing understanding of bacterial ...

Investigating the cell of origin and novel molecular targets in Merkel cell carcinoma: a historic misnomer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study indicates that Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) does not originate from Merkel cells, and identifies gene, protein & cellular expression of immune‐linked and neuroendocrine markers in primary and metastatic Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) tumor samples, linked to Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) status, with enrichment of B‐cell and other immune cell

Colorimetric reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification assay for visual, sensitive, and specific detection of enterovirus G

BMC Veterinary Research
Background Enterovirus G (EV-G) is widely prevalent in pigs worldwide, and co-infections of EV-G and other diarrhea-causing pathogens have been reported in many countries, threatening the pig farming industry.

IgA polymerization contributes to efficient virus neutralization on human upper respiratory mucosa after intranasal inactivated influenza vaccine administration

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2018
Unlike the current injectable influenza vaccines, intranasally administered influenza vaccines induce influenza virus-specific IgA antibodies in the local respiratory mucosa as well as IgG antibodies in the systemic circulation. Our previous study showed

Knowledge and practices related to plague in an endemic area of Uganda

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background: Plague is a virulent zoonosis reported most commonly from Sub-Saharan Africa. Early treatment with antibiotics is important to prevent mortality. Understanding knowledge gaps and common behaviors informs the development of educational efforts

Hepatocyte Growth Factor-Dependent Antiviral Activity of Activated cdc42-Associated Kinase 1 Against Hepatitis B Virus

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Activated cdc42-associated kinase 1 (ACK1) is a well-known non-receptor tyrosine kinase that regulates cell proliferation and growth through activation of cellular signaling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK).

YAP1::TFE3 mediates endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal plasticity in epithelioid hemangioendothelioma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The YAP1::TFE3 fusion protein drives endothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndMT) plasticity, resulting in the loss of endothelial characteristics and gain of mesenchymal‐like properties, including resistance to anoikis, increased migratory capacity, and loss of contact growth inhibition in endothelial cells.

Limited impact of hepatitis A virus 3C protease-mediated cleavage on the functions of NEMO in human hepatocytes

Journal of Virology
NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) is critically involved in the induction of interferons (IFNs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) 3C protease was recently identified to cleave NEMO in non-hepatic cells.

Hepatitis C virus NS5A protein promotes the lysosomal degradation of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) via endosomal microautophagy

Autophagy Reports, 2022
Many viruses often use a protein degradation system (e.g., the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway or lysosome pathway) to modulate viral propagation and viral pathogenesis.
