Coronaviruses Hijack the LC3-I-Positive EDEMosomes, ER-Derived Vesicles Exporting Short-Lived ERAD Regulators, for Replication

Coronaviruses (CoV), including SARS and mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), are enveloped RNA viruses that induce formation of double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) and target their replication and transcription complexes (RTCs) on the DMV-limiting membranes. The DMV b ...

On the replication of adeno-associated virus in the presence or absence of viral helper functions

Anika Ekrut

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a small non-enveloped virus and as a member of the parvovirus family, it contains a single stranded DNA genome. AAV's life cycle in vitro is strongly dependent not only on cellular factors but also on helper functions provid ...

Single-molecule avidin-biotin association reaction studied by force-clamp spectroscopy

Giovanni Dietler, Mélanie Favre

Using single-molecule force-clamp spectroscopy, where the distance between the AFM tip and the sample surface is fixed and a few parallel avidin-biotin complexes are kept stretched by a certain force, we were able to observe the formation of single avidin- ...

Screening of a Human Antibody Phage Display Library Against a Peptide Antigen Using Stimuli-Responsive Bioconjugates

Caroline Vandevyver, Dorothée Dumoulin

A synthetic antibody phage library, (ETH-2) was screened against the MUC-1 peptide. Two standard methods were used, namely screening on immunotubes coated with the peptide antigen and on streptavidin-coated paramagnetic particles together with a biotinylat ...

The antiviral adaptor proteins Cardif and Trif are processed and inactivated by caspases

Etienne Meylan

The outcome of a viral infection depends on the interplay between the host's capacity to trigger potent antiviral responses and viral mechanisms that counteract them. Although Toll-like receptor (TLR)-3, which recognizes virally derived double-stranded (ds ...

Discovery of a hepatitis C target and its pharmacological inhibitors by microfluidic affinity analysis

Sebastian Maerkl

More effective therapies are urgently needed against hepatitis C virus (HCV), a major cause of viral hepatitis. We used in vitro protein expression and microfluidic affinity analysis to study RNA binding by the HCV transmembrane protein NS4B, which plays a ...

Recombinant Adeno-Associated viral vectors are deficient in provoking a DNA damage response

Peter Martin Beard, Michail Fragkos

Adeno-associated virus type 2 (AAV2) provokes a DNA damage response that mimics a stalled replication fork. We have previously shown that this response is dependent on ataxia telangiectasia-mutated and Rad3- related kinase and involves recruitment of DNA r ...

Development and characterization of a triple combination gene therapy vector inhibiting HIV-1 multiplication

Didier Trono, Isabelle Barde

BACKGROUND: RNA-based approaches are promising for long-term gene therapy against HIV-1. They can target virtually any step of the viral replication cycle. It is also possible to combine anti-HIV-1 transgenes targeting different facets of HIV replication t ...

Interfering residues narrow the spectrum of MLV restriction by human TRIM5alpha

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Séverine Reynard, Pierre Maillard

TRIM5alpha is a restriction factor that limits infection of human cells by so-called N- but not B- or NB-tropic strains of murine leukemia virus (MLV). Here, we performed a mutation-based functional analysis of TRIM5alpha-mediated MLV restriction. Our resu ...

The role of the inflammasome in cellular responses to toxins and bacterial effectors

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

Invading pathogens are recognized by mammalian cells through dedicated receptors found either at the cell surface or in the cytoplasm. These receptors, like the trans-membrane Toll-like Receptors (TLR) or the cytosolic Nod-like Receptors (NLR), initiate in ...
