Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Accumulating evidence indicates that mammalian NIMA (never in mitosis, gene A)-related kinase 6 (NEK6) plays potential roles during the course of tumorigenesis, but little is known about NEK6 in lower vertebrates. Herein, we reported a mammalian ortholog

A full UL13 open reading frame in Marek’s disease virus (MDV) is dispensable for tumor formation and feather follicle tropism and cannot restore horizontal virus transmission of rRB-1B in vivo [PDF]
, 2007 peer reviewedMarek’s disease virus (MDV) is an oncogenic alphaherpesvirus that is highly contagious in poultry. Recombinant RB-1B (rRB-1B) reconstituted from an infectious genome cloned as a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) is unable to spread ...

Membrane Composition Modulates Vp54 Binding: A Combined Experimental and Computational Study
PathogensThe recruitment of peripheral membrane proteins is tightly regulated by membrane lipid composition and local electrostatic microenvironments. Our experimental observations revealed that Vp54, a viral matrix protein, exhibited preferential binding to ...

New insights into rotavirus entry machinery: stabilization of rotavirus spike conformation is independent of trypsin cleavage. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 The infectivity of rotavirus, the main causative agent of childhood diarrhea, is dependent on activation of the extracellular viral particles by trypsin-like proteases in the host intestinal lumen.
