The VP8 fragment of VP4 is the rhesus rotavirus hemagglutinin

Virology, 1991
The amino-terminal trypsin cleavage fragment of VP4, called VP8, was expressed from a recombinant baculovirus in Sf-9 cells. The baculovirus-expressed VP8 protein is antigenically conserved as demonstrated by its recognition by a library of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies. In Sf-9 cell sonicates, the expressed VP8 protein is capable of agglutinating

Rotavirus VP8*: Phylogeny, Host Range, and Interaction with Histo-Blood Group Antigens [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2012
ABSTRACT The distal portion of rotavirus (RV) VP4 spike protein (VP8*) is implicated in binding to cellular receptors, thereby facilitating viral attachment and entry. While VP8* of some animal RVs engage sialic acid, human RVs often attach to and enter cells in a sialic acid-independent manner.

Mechanism underlying the DNA-binding preferences of the Vibrio cholerae and vibriophage VP882 VqmA quorum-sensing receptors.

PLoS Genetics, 2021
Quorum sensing is a chemical communication process that bacteria use to coordinate group behaviors. In the global pathogen Vibrio cholerae, one quorum-sensing receptor and transcription factor, called VqmA (VqmAVc), activates expression of the vqmR gene ...

A review of the FATIMA Yellow Sea field campaign research

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The FATIMA marine fog project took place over the Sable Island region of eastern Canada (summer 2022) and the Yellow Sea of the Republic of Korea (ROK, summer 2023). Its goals are to improve marine fog monitoring and forecasting. Instrumented multiple research vessels, aircraft, tethered balloon and autonomous systems, ocean observation sites, and ...

Analysis of genetic diversity and molecular evolution of human group B rotaviruses based on whole genome segments [PDF]

, 2010
Group B rotavirus (GBR) is a rare enteric pathogen that causes severe diarrhoea, primarily in adults. Nearly full-length sequences of all 11 RNA segments were determined for human GBRs detected recently in India (IDH-084 in 2007, IC-008 in 2008 ...

Simultaneous modification of Thermotoga maritima encapsulin subunits to produce multivalent nanoparticle vaccines for non‐typhoidal Salmonella enterica

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study investigates the modularity of encapsulin—a protein nanoparticle—by simultaneously inserting up to four distinct Salmonella epitopes within the encapsulin subunit. The encapsulin variants were transiently expressed in plants where they assembled into nanoparticles; however, their accumulation and stability varied depending on the ...

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.

Validity and Reliability of the Heart Rate Matching Task: A Novel Measure of Heart Rate Estimation

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Sensing and monitoring changes in our heart rate is a key aspect of interoception. We introduce and test the construct validity of the Heart Rate Matching task (HRM), a novel, fast and accessible task designed to assess the ability to estimate heart rate, in both remote (i.e., online) and in‐lab settings.
