Initial Step of Virus Entry: Virion Binding to Cell-Surface Glycans

Laurent Gillet, Christian Sieben

Virus infection is an intricate process that requires the concerted action of both viral and host cell components. Entry of viruses into cells is initiated by interactions between viral proteins and cell-surface receptors. Various cell-surface glycans func ...

Broad-spectrum Antiviral Nanoparticles

Marie Müller

Viral infections affect millions of people every year, yet broad-spectrum virucidal therapies are not available. Antiviral substances in current use act on specific viral mechanisms against only a small number of viruses. Virustatic materials interfere wit ...

Identification of potential HIV restriction factors by combining evolutionary genomic signatures with functional analyses

Amalio Telenti, Danielle Thompson, Daniel Sauter, Jérémie Perreaud

Background: Known antiretroviral restriction factors are encoded by genes that are under positive selection pressure, induced during HIV-1 infection, up-regulated by interferons, and/or interact with viral proteins. To identify potential novel restriction ...

Host miRNA regulation of human cytomegalovirus immediate early protein translation promotes viral latency

Jiri Vanicek

Reactivation of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a significant cause of disease and death in immunocompromised patients underscoring the need to understand how latency is controlled. Here we demonstrate that HCMV has evolved to utilize cellular miRNAs in ce ...

Mechanisms of Human Adenovirus Inactivation by Sunlight and UVC Light as Examined by Quantitative PCR and Quantitative Proteomics

Tamar Kohn, Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand, Franziska Sara Bosshard

Human adenoviruses (HAdV) are important pathogens in both industrialized and developing nations. HAdV has been shown to be relatively resistant to monochromatic UVC. Polychromatic UVC, in contrast, is a more effective means of disinfection, presumably due ...

RNAi Screening Reveals Proteasome- and Cullin3-Dependent Stages in Vaccinia Virus Infection

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

A two-step, automated, high-throughput RNAi silencing screen was used to identify host cell factors required during vaccinia virus infection. Validation and analysis of clustered hits revealed previously unknown processes during virus entry, including a me ...

UV radiation induces genome-mediated, site-specific cleavage in viral protein

Tamar Kohn, Yury Tsybin, Laure Menin, Krista Rule Wigginton, Michele Cascella, Hisham Ben Hamidane, Anne Thérèse Sigstam

Much research has been dedicated to understanding the molecular basis of UV damage to biomolecules, yet many questions remain regarding the specific pathways involved. Here we describe a genome-mediated mechanism that causes sitespecific virus protein clea ...

Genome-wide association study identifies single nucleotide polymorphism in DYRK1A associated with replication of HIV-1 in monocyte-derived macrophages

Jacques Fellay

HIV-1 infected macrophages play an important role in rendering resting T cells permissive for infection, in spreading HIV-1 to T cells, and in the pathogenesis of AIDS dementia. During highly active anti-retroviral treatment (HAART), macrophages keep produ ...
