Virucidal compounds and use thereof

Francesco Stellacci, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Pablo Gainza Cirauqui, Corey Alfred Stevens, Francesca Olgiati, Chiara Medaglia, Lukasz Richter

Disclosed herein are peptide-grafted compounds that irreversibly deactivate bacteriophages or influenza virus depending on the peptide and remain safe for bacteria and mammalian cells. The active compounds comprise a core (cyclodextrin or gold nanoparticle ...

Structure and Function of the T4 Spackle Protein Gp61.3

Petr Leiman, Alec Fraser

The bacteriophage T4 genome contains two genes that code for proteins with lysozyme activity-e and 5. Gene e encodes the well-known T4 lysozyme (commonly called T4L) that functions to break the peptidoglycan layer late in the infection cycle, which is requ ...

Structure and transformation of bacteriophage A511 baseplate and tail upon infection of Listeria cells

Sergey Nazarov, Petr Leiman, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira

Contractile injection systems (bacteriophage tails, type VI secretions system, R-type pyocins, etc.) utilize a rigid tube/contractile sheath assembly for breaching the envelope of bacterial and eukaryotic cells. Among contractile injection systems, bacteri ...

The RNA-Binding Protein PUM2 Impairs Mitochondrial Dynamics and Mitophagy During Aging

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans, Bernard Schneider, Graham Knott, Davide D'Amico, Vera Monica Lemos Da Silva, Mario Romani, Hao Li, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis, Francesca Potenza

Little information is available about how post-transcriptional mechanisms regulate the aging process. Here, we show that the RNA-binding protein Pumilio2 (PUM2), which is a translation repressor, is induced upon aging and acts as a negative regulator of li ...

Bypassing bacterial infection in phage display by sequencing DNA released from phage particles

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Camille Villequey

Phage display relies on a bacterial infection step in which the phage particles are replicated to perform multiple affinity selection rounds and to enable the identification of isolated clones by DNA sequencing. While this process is efficient for wild-typ ...

New methods for developing (bi)cyclic peptides by phage display

Camille Villequey

Cyclic peptide ligands are a promising molecular format for the development of therapeutics. They combine some of the advantages of large protein therapeutics (high affinity and specificity) and of small molecule drugs (accessibility to chemical synthesis ...

Phage Selection of Cyclic Peptides for Application in Research and Drug Development

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong

Cyclic peptides can bind to protein targets with high affinities and selectivities, which makes them an attractive modality for the development of research reagents and therapeutics. Additional properties, including low inherent toxicity, efficient chemica ...

MAR-Mediated transgene integration into permissive chromatin and increased expression by recombination pathway engineering

Christian Iseli, Nicolas Mermod, Thomas Junier, Samuel Neuenschwander, Ioannis Xenarios

Untargeted plasmid integration into mammalian cell genomes remains a poorly understood and inefficient process. The formation of plasmid concatemers and their genomic integration has been ascribed either to non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous r ...
