Stimulus-responsive assembly of nonviral nucleocapsids

Angela Steinauer

Controlled assembly of a protein shell around a viral genome is a key step in the life cycle of many viruses. Here we report a strategy for regulating the co-assembly of nonviral proteins and nucleic acids into highly ordered nucleocapsids in vitro. By fus ...

Cis-regulatory effect of HPV integration is constrained by host chromatin architecture in cervical cancers

Daniele Tavernari

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are the primary drivers of cervical cancers, and often HPV DNA gets integrated into the host genome. Although the oncogenic impact of HPV encoded genes is relatively well known, the cis-regulatory effect of integrated ...

Simultaneous membrane and RNA binding by Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus capsid protein

Sarah Victoria Barrass

Tick-borne encephalitis virus is an enveloped, pathogenic, RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. Viral particles are formed when the nucleocapsid, consisting of an RNA genome and multiple copies of the capsid protein, buds through the end ...

Vaccination with a nanoparticle E7 vaccine can prevent tumor recurrence following surgery in a human papillomavirus head and neck cancer model

Gabriele Galliverti

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) encoding E6/E7-HPV oncogenes are responsible for a subgroup of head and neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and thus therapeutic E7-vaccines may be used to control HPV+HNSCC tumors. Herein we investigated the effects o ...

Myeloid Cells Orchestrate Systemic Immunosuppression, Impairing the Efficacy of Immunotherapy against HPV+ Cancers

Melody Swartz, Douglas Hanahan, Nadine Fournier, Mélanie Louise Tichet, Stephan Wullschleger, Gabriele Galliverti

Cancers induced by human papillomaviruses (HPV) should be responsive to immunotherapy by virtue of expressing the immunogenic oncoproteins E6/E7. However, advanced forms of cervical cancer, driven by HPV, are poorly responsive to immune response-enhancing ...

Salt enhances the thermostability of enteroviruses by stabilizing capsid protein interfaces

Tamar Kohn, Matteo Dal Peraro, Alessio Prunotto, Simon Meister

Enteroviruses are common agents of infectious disease that are spread by the fecal-oral route. They are readily inactivated by mild heat, which causes the viral capsid to disintegrate or undergo conformational change. While beneficial for the thermal treat ...

Carboplatin/paclitaxel, E7-vaccination and intravaginal CpG as tri-therapy towards efficient regression of genital HPV16 tumors

Douglas Hanahan, Gabriele Galliverti

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) are responsible for genital and oral cancers associated with the expression of the E6/E7 HPV oncogenes. Therapeutic vaccines targeting those oncogenes can only partially control tumor progression, highlighting the neces ...

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

Jaume Bonet Martinez

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 ...

Broad-spectrum non-toxic antiviral nanoparticles with a virucidal inhibition mechanism

Francesco Stellacci, Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva, Ahmet Bekdemir, Valeria Cagno, Emma-Rose Janecek, Samuel Thomas Jones

Viral infections kill millions yearly. Available antiviral drugs are virus-specific and active against a limited panel of human pathogens. There are broad-spectrum substances that prevent the first step of virus–cell interaction by mimicking heparan sulfat ...

Advancing immunotherapy for HPV-related cancers: Improving therapeutic vaccination approaches and understanding the immunosuppressive role of myeloid cells

Gabriele Galliverti

Human Papilloma Viruses (HPVs) are the most common sexually transmitted agents worldwide, and chronic infection with oncogenic HPVs can lead to the development of lesions in the cervix, the vulva, and the head and neck region. In some patients, these lesio ...

Single particle maximum likelihood reconstruction from superresolution microscopy images

Suliana Manley, Julia Gunzenhäuser

Point localization superresolution microscopy enables fluorescently tagged molecules to be imaged beyond the optical diffraction limit, reaching single molecule localization precisions down to a few nanometers. For small objects whose sizes are few times t ...

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

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 ...

Hedgehog pathway regulators influence cervical cancer cell proliferation, survival and migration

Peter Martin Beard, Ivana Samarzija

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is considered to be a primary hit that causes cervical cancer. However, infection with this agent, although needed, is not sufficient for a cancer to develop. Additional cellular changes are required to complement the a ...

Inactivation of bacteriophage MS2 with potassium ferrate(VI)

Tamar Kohn, Anne Thérèse Sigstam, Timothy Strathmann

Ferrate [Fe(VI); FeO42-] is an emerging oxidizing agent capable of controlling chemical and microbial water contaminants. Here, inactivation of MS2 coliphage by Fe(VI) was examined. The inactivation kinetics observed in individual batch experiments was wel ...

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

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 ...
