Cell-cell fusion induced by reovirus FAST proteins enhances replication and pathogenicity of non-enveloped dsRNA viruses.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2019
Fusogenic reoviruses encode fusion-associated small transmembrane (FAST) protein, which induces cell-cell fusion. FAST protein is the only known fusogenic protein in non-enveloped viruses, and its role in virus replication is not yet known.

How to recover from a bad start: adaptation of HIV-1 transcription start site mutants during serial passaging in culture

open access: yesJournal of Virology
HIV-1 uses neighboring sequences as transcription start sites and generates multiple unspliced transcripts, including two major transcripts with three guanosines (3G) or one guanosine (1G) at the 5′ end. Although only differing by 2-nt, 3G RNA and 1G RNA

Plant virus replication and movement

open access: yesVirology, 2015
Replication and intercellular spread of viruses depend on host mechanisms supporting the formation, transport and turnover of functional complexes between viral genomes, virus-encoded products and cellular factors. To enhance these processes, viruses assemble and replicate in membrane-associated complexes that may develop into "virus factories" or ...

Structural and mechanistic bases for resistance of the M66I capsid variant to lenacapavir

open access: yesmBio
Lenacapavir (LEN) is the first-in-class viral capsid protein (CA) targeting antiretroviral for treating multi-drug-resistant HIV-1 infection. Clinical trials and cell culture experiments have identified resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) in the ...

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 ...

RNAi Screening in Tumor Cells Identifies Artificial microRNAs That Improve Oncolytic Virus Replication

open access: yesPharmaceuticals
Background/Objectives: Oncolytic viruses infect and kill tumor cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. They are often attenuated through the reduction in their ability to antagonize antiviral defenses, leading to robust replication in tumor cells ...

Interaction of West Nile virus NS5 with orthoflavivirus SLA RNAs and their effects on viral replication and inhibition

open access: yesJournal of Virology
West Nile virus (WNV) is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus in the Orthoflavivirus genus, within Flaviviridae. The genus encompasses numerous pathogens of public health importance, including WNV, dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV), and ...
