From foe to friend: using animal toxins to investigate ion channel function [PDF]

, 2015
Ion channels are vital contributors to cellular communication in a wide range of organisms, a distinct feature that renders this ubiquitous family of membrane-spanning proteins a prime target for toxins found in animal venom.

The rotavirus VP5*/VP8* conformational transition permeabilizes membranes to Ca2+

PLOS Pathogens
Rotaviruses infect cells by delivering into the cytosol a transcriptionally active inner capsid particle (a "double-layer particle": DLP). Delivery is the function of a third, outer layer, which drives uptake from the cell surface into small vesicles from which the DLPs escape.

Infectious Bursal Disease Virus non-structural protein VP5 is not a transmembrane protein

Virology, 2015
Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) causes a highly relevant poultry disease that affects young chickens causing, among other effects, immunosuppression. IBDV is a bi-segmented double stranded RNA virus. The smaller ORF of larger RNA segment encodes VP5, a 17-kDa non-structural protein. Although it is an important protein for viral replication cycle,

Duck Orbivirus and Egg Production: A Newly Identified Duck Orbivirus Is the Etiological Agent of Egg Production Decline in Chinese Breeder Ducks

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Field samples from breeder duck farms with egg‐production decline were subjected to viral detection, genome sequencing, and virus isolation. Experimental infection demonstrated that duck orbivirus (DORV) causes a significant and persistent reduction in egg production in breeder ducks.

Whole‐Genome Characterization of Rare Artiodactyl‐Like G10P [14] and G8P [14] Rotavirus A Strains Detected in Pediatric Gastroenteritis Cases in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Rotavirus alphagastroenteritidis (RVA) is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in young children worldwide, as well as in a wide range of animal species. In 2020 and 2022, we identified three unusual RVA strains in pediatric gastroenteritis patients in Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan, using next‐generation sequencing: one G10P[14] strain ...

Cloning And Expression Of Nucleocapsid Protein Of Newcastle Disease Virus Fused With Vp5 Gene Of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus [PDF]

, 2007
Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) is a constant threat to the poultry industry worldwide. This virus encodes a non-structural protein VP5 (17 kDa) that is capable of inducing apoptosis and may play an important role in pathogenesis of IBD.

Analysis of the early immune response to infection by infectious bursal disease virus in chickens differing in their resistance to the disease [PDF]

, 2014
Chicken whole-genome gene expression arrays were used to analyze the host response to infection by infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Spleen and bursal tissue were examined from control and infected birds at 2, 3, and 4 days postinfection from two ...

Genome‐wide association and haplotype analyses reveal genetic architecture of seed dormancy in grain sorghum with implications for preharvest sprouting tolerance

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Preharvest sprouting (PHS), triggered primarily by wet or humid conditions at maturity and further influenced by temperature, causes premature grain germination in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), reducing yield and grain quality. To elucidate the genetic architecture of seed dormancy and germination responses related to PHS tolerance ...

Safety and Efficacy of Plant‐Produced Trivalent Virus‐Like Particle Vaccine Candidate Against Bluetongue Disease

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 273-283, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Bluetongue (BT) is a non‐contagious, insect‐transmitted disease of wild and domestic ruminants caused by bluetongue virus (BTV). Effective control of BT disease relies on vaccination against prevalent or seasonal serotypes using live attenuated or inactivated vaccines.
