Phosphorylation of S-S-S Motif in Nuclear Export Protein (NEP) Plays a Critical Role in Viral Ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) Nuclear Export of Influenza A and B Viruses.

The phosphorylation of three highly conserved serine residues S23, S24, and S25 (S-S-S motif) has been previously identified in NEP of influenza virus. However, it remains obscure whether and how this motif regulates the vRNPs nuclear export. Here the influenza A H5N6 viruses harboring NEP S23C, S24L, or S25L is generated, allowing to impair the phosphorylation on these sites without mutating viral NS1 protein.

Covalent DNA-Encoded Library Workflow Drives Discovery of SARS-CoV-2 Nonstructural Protein Inhibitors.

The COVID-19 pandemic, exacerbated by persistent viral mutations, underscored the urgent need for diverse inhibitors targeting multiple viral proteins. In this study, we utilized covalent DNA-encoded libraries to discover innovative triazine-based covalent inhibitors for the 3-chymotrypsin-like protease (3CL, Nsp5) and the papain-like protease (PL) domains of Nsp3, as well as novel non-nucleoside covalent inhibitors for the nonstructural protein 12 (Nsp12, RdRp). Optimization through molecular docking and medicinal chemistry led to the development of , a nonpeptide 3CL inhibitor with an IC of 0.

SAMCT: Segment Any CT Allowing Labor-Free Task-Indicator Prompts.

Segment anything model (SAM), a foundation model with superior versatility and generalization across diverse segmentation tasks, has attracted widespread attention in medical imaging. However, it has been proved that SAM would encounter severe performance degradation due to the lack of medical knowledge in training and local feature encoding. Though several SAM-based models have been proposed for tuning SAM in medical imaging, they still suffer from insufficient feature extraction and highly rely on high-quality prompts.

Structural Comparisons, Fluorescence Properties, and Glass-to-Crystal Transformations of Heat-Cooled and Melt-Quenched Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework Glass.

As a representative of zeolitic imidazolate framework glass, agZIF-62 has been reported to be synthesized using a melt-quenching method in which the ZIF-62 crystal is heated to a temperature above the melting point. Interestingly, we unexpectedly found that agZIF-62 can also be synthesized by simple heating at temperatures lower than the melting point, which may be assisted by the release of encapsulated solvent molecules. The structural differences between melt-quenched agZIF-62 (MQ-agZIF-62) and heat-cooled agZIF-62 (HC-agZIF-62) were investigated.

Inhibition of RAN attenuates influenza a virus replication and nucleoprotein nuclear export.

Nuclear export of the viral ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) is a critical step in the influenza A virus (IAV) life cycle and may be an effective target for the development of anti-IAV drugs. The host factor ras-related nuclear protein (RAN) is known to participate in the life cycle of several viruses, but its role in influenza virus replication remains unknown. In the present study, we aimed to determine the function of RAN in influenza virus replication using different cell lines and subtype strains.
