Waterborne Virus Transport and Risk Assessment in Lake Geneva Under Climate Change

Climate changes influence lake hydrodynamics and radiation levels and thus may affect the fate and transport of waterborne pathogens in lakes. This study examines the impact of climate change on the fate, transport, and associated risks of four waterborne ...

Broadly potent anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody shares 93% of epitope with ACE2 and provides full protection in monkeys

Didier Trono, Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Priscilla Turelli, Florence Pojer, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Yoan Désiré Duhoo, Jérémy Campos, Myriam Isabelle Lamrayah, Vanessa Genet

Due to the rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 to variants with reduced sensitivity to vaccine-induced humoral immunity and the near complete loss of protective efficacy of licensed therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, we isolated a potent, broad-spectrum neutrali ...

A high-throughput cell- and virus-free assay shows reduced neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants by COVID-19 convalescent plasma

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Florence Pojer, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Valeria Cagno, Jérémy Campos, Céline Pellaton

The detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibodies in the serum of an individual indicates previous infection or vaccination. However, it provides limited insight into the protective nature of this immune resp ...

Structural investigation of ACE2 dependent disassembly of the trimeric SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, David Hacker, Florence Pojer, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Dongchun Ni

The human membrane protein Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) acts as the main receptor for host cells invasion of the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The viral surface glycoprotein Spike binds to hACE2, which triggers virus entry into cells. As of today, ...

Alternative interaction sites in the influenza A virus nucleoprotein mediate viral escape from the importin-alpha 7 mediated nuclear import pathway

Jaume Bonet Martinez, Sebastian Beck

Influenza A viruses are able to adapt to restrictive conditions due to their high mutation rates. Importin-alpha 7 is a component of the nuclear import machinery required for avian-mammalian adaptation and replicative fitness in human cells. Here, we eluci ...

Spatial organization of DNA sequences directs the assembly of bacterial chromatin by a nucleoid-associated protein

Giovanni Dietler, Aleksandre Japaridze, Sylvain Renevey

Structural differentiation of bacterial chromatin depends on cooperative binding of abundant nucleoid-associated proteins at numerous genomic DNA sites and stabilization of distinct long-range nucleoprotein structures. Histone-like nucleoid-structuring pro ...

No DDRama at chromosome ends: TRF2 takes centre stage

Antonio Porro, Liuh-Yow Chen, Sascha Feuerhahn

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures capping the natural termini of eukaryotic linear chromosomes. Telomeres possess an inherent ability to circumvent the activation of a full-blown DNA damage response (DDR), and hence fusion reactions, by limiting inapp ...

Characterization of glycoprotein E C-End of West Nile virus and evaluation of its interaction force with alpha V beta 3 integrin as putative cellular receptor

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski

Recombinant polypeptide containing the 260-466 amino acid sequence of West Nile virus (WNV) strain LEIV-Vlg99-27889-human glycoprotein E (gpE, E260-466) was constructed. Immunochemical similarity between the E260-466 and gpE of WNV was proven by enzyme imm ...

Application of broad-spectrum resequencing microarray for genotyping rhabdoviruses

Stewart Cole, Iain Old

The rapid and accurate identification of pathogens is critical in the control of infectious disease. To this end, we analyzed the capacity for viral detection and identification of a newly described high-density resequencing microarray (RMA), termed Pathog ...

Effect of serial subculturing on the genetic composition and cytotoxic activity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole

Continuous subculture has been observed to produce changes in the virulence of micro-organisms, e.g. rabies virus, poliovirus and Mycobacterium bovis BCG. The latter has been used as a vaccine for tuberculosis for the last 100 years; however, in some insta ...
