How Viruses Hijack the ERAD Tuning Machinery

An essential step during the intracellular life cycle of many positive-strand RNA viruses is the rearrangement of host cell membranes to generate membrane-bound replication platforms. For example, Nidovirales and Flaviviridae subvert the membrane of the en ...

Actively transporting virus like analytes with optofluidics for rapid and ultrasensitive biodetection

Hatice Altug, Arif Engin Cetin, Min Huang

Effective analyte delivery is essential to achieve rapid and sensitive biodetection systems. In this article, we present an actively controlled fluidic system integrated with a suspended plasmonic nanohole sensor to achieve superior analyte delivery effici ...

Role of the SEL1L:LC3-I Complex as an ERAD Tuning Receptor in the Mammalian ER

Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi

Several regulators of endoplasmic reticulum (ER)associated degradation (ERAD) have a shorter half-life compared to conventional ER chaperones. At steady state, they are selectively removed from the ER by poorly defined events collectively referred to as ER ...

Unconventional roles of nonlipidated LC3 in ERAD tuning and coronavirus infection

Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi

Secretory and membrane proteins attain their native structure in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Folding-defective polypeptides are selected for degradation by processes collectively defined as ER-associated degradation (ERAD). Enhanced ERAD activity may i ...

Virus Inactivation by Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Fenton-like Processes

Jessica Ivana Nieto Juarez

Human enteric viruses in water sources cause a great public health risk. Conventional disinfection treatments are not able to completely inactive viruses. However, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have recently been shown to effectively inactivate patho ...

ERAD and ERAD tuning: disposal of cargo and of ERAD regulators from the mammalian ER

Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the site of maturation for secretory and membrane proteins in eukaryotic cells. Unsuccessful folding attempts are eventually interrupted and most folding-defective polypeptides are dislocated across the ER membrane and deg ...

Detection of Farnesyltransferase Interface Hot Spots through Computational Alanine Scanning Mutagenesis

Marta Andreia Da Silva Perez

In this study, we present a detailed characterization of the full α/β interface in the farnesyltransferase (FTase) enzyme, an important target in drug design efforts. This characterization is presented in terms of hot spots, warm spots, and null spots and ...

Autophagy-independent LC3 function in vesicular traffic

Maurizio Molinari

As protein folding is an imperfect process, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contains folding as well as ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machineries. In order to prevent premature interruption of folding, ERAD regulators and effectors such as EDEM1 and OS-9 ...

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

Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi

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 ...

Association with Natural Organic Matter Enhances the Sunlight-Mediated Inactivation of MS2 Coliphage by Singlet Oxygen

Tamar Kohn

Abstract: MS2 coliphage, a surrogate for human enteric viruses, is inactivated by singlet oxygen (1O2) produced via sunlight-mediated excitation of natural organic matter (NOM) in surface waters. The 1O2 concentration within a NOM macromolecule or supramol ...
