Photo-Switchable Aggregation-Induced Emission of Bisthienylethene-Dipyrimido[2,1-][1,3]benzothiazole Triad.

A bisthienylethene-dipyrimido[2,1-][1,3]benzothiazole () triad has been designed and synthesized based on our recent discovery of PBTs as atypical propeller-shaped novel AIEgens. The triad not only maintains the photochromic properties of BTE moiety in solution, film, and solid state but also exhibits remarkable AIE properties. Moreover, the fluorescence of PMMA film could be modulated with high contrast by alternate UV and visible light irradiation.

Host protein CD63 promotes viral RNA replication by interacting with human astrovirus non-structural protein nsP1a/4.

Human astrovirus non-structural protein nsP1a/4, located at the C-terminal end of nsP1a, is thought to be involved in regulating RNA replication. Here, we show that host protein CD63 interacts with the nsP1a protein. Further research showed that the large loop (LEL) domain of CD63 also interacts with nsP1a/4.
