Ribonucleoprotein transport in Negative Strand RNA viruses

open access: yesBiology of the Cell, Volume 115, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
The genome replication of Negative‐sense, single‐stranded RNA viruses most‐often segregate in membrane‐less environments called inclusion bodies (IBs). These “organelles” usually locate far from the cell surface from where new virions are released. Here, for each viral family, we discuss how the genome progeny is transported from the IBs to reach the ...

Regulation of Ebola virus VP40 matrix protein by SUMO [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
AbstractThe matrix protein of Ebola virus (EBOV) VP40 regulates viral budding, nucleocapsid recruitment, virus structure and stability, viral genome replication and transcription, and has an intrinsic ability to form virus-like particles. The elucidation of the regulation of VP40 functions is essential to identify mechanisms to inhibit viral ...

Computational Modeling and Evaluation of Potential mRNA and Peptide‐Based Vaccine against Marburg Virus (MARV) to Provide Immune Protection against Hemorrhagic Fever

open access: yesBioMed Research International, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
A hemorrhagic fever caused by the Marburg virus (MARV) belongs to the Filoviridae family and has been classified as a risk group 4 pathogen. To this day, there are no approved effective vaccinations or medications available to prevent or treat MARV infections.

Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy Protein BAG3 Negatively Regulates Ebola and Marburg VP40-Mediated Egress. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2017
Ebola (EBOV) and Marburg (MARV) viruses are members of the Filoviridae family which cause outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever. The filovirus VP40 matrix protein is essential for virus assembly and budding, and its PPxY L-domain motif interacts with WW-domains

Exosomes: Biogenesis, targeting, characterization and their potential as "Plug & Play" vaccine platforms

open access: yesBiotechnology Journal, Volume 17, Issue 11, November 2022., 2022
Graphical Abstract and Lay Summary Exosomes are spherical structures less than 150 nm in diameter that are released from the plasma membrane of cells, carrying cargo within them. They play a key role in cell‐cell communication and are involved in modulating many cellular processes, can be biomarkers of health and disease, and have enormous potential ...

Membrane Penetrating Ability of Ebola Matrix Protein, VP40 [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2013
Ebola from the filoviridae family of viruses causes severe and mostly fatal hemorrhagic fevers in primates and has been listed as a category IV pathogen by the NIH. Viral Protein 40 (VP40), the major matrix protein of Ebola virus, regulates the assembly and budding of the virus and alone harbors the ability to form virus-like particles (VLPs) from ...

Species-specific quantification of circulating ebolavirus burden using VP40-derived peptide variants

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2021
Six ebolavirus species are reported to date, including human pathogens Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), Ebola virus (EBOV), Sudan virus (SUDV), and Taï Forest virus (TAFV); non-human pathogen Reston virus (RESTV); and the plausible Bombali virus (BOMV).

Comparative analyses of small molecule and antibody inhibition on glycoprotein‐mediated entry of Měnglà virus with other filoviruses

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 3263-3269, July 2022., 2022
Abstract The ability of viruses in the Filoviridae family (Ebola virus [EBOV] and Marburg virus [MARV]) to cause severe human disease and their pandemic potential makes all emerging filoviral pathogens a concern to humanity. Měnglà virus (MLAV) belonging to the new genus Dianlovirus was recently discovered in the liver of bats from Měnglà County ...

The VP35 and VP40 proteins of filoviruses [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1993
The fragments of genomic RNA sequences of Marburg (MBG) and Ebola (EBO) viruses are reported. These fragments were found to encode the VP35 and VP40 proteins. The canonic sequences were revealed before and after each open reading frame. It is suggested that these sequences are mRNA extremities and at the same time the regulatory elements for mRNA ...

Automated Laser‐Transfer Synthesis of High‐Density Microarrays for Infectious Disease Screening

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 34, Issue 23, June 9, 2022., 2022
An automated laser‐based synthesis machine is presented, combining laser‐induced forward transfer and robotics to perform parallel chemistry in the microarray format with up to 10 000 individual reactions cm−2. By developing an optimization pipeline, peptide microarrays with thousands of different sequences can be synthesized in high yield to study the
