Lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) mainly localizes to lysosomes and late endosomes. We herein investigated the intracellular localization of lysosomal membrane proteins in five mammalian cultured cell lines. Rat LAMP1 fused to enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) mostly accumulated at a particular cytoplasmic area and barely co-localized with LysoTracker® Red DND-99 in golden hamster kidney BHK-21 cells and Chinese hamster ovary CHO-K1 cells. Golden hamster, Chinese hamster, and human LAMP1-EGFP showed a similar intracellular distribution to rat LAMP1-EGFP in BHK-21 cells. Endogenous LAMP1 was also detected in a perinuclear area in BHK-21 cells and CHO-K1 cells, and co-localized with rat CD63-EGFP in BHK-21 cells. Moreover, rat LAMP1-DsRed-Monomer co-localized well with the human trans-Golgi network protein 2-EGFP in BHK-21 cells. These results reveal that LAMP1 predominantly localizes to the trans-Golgi network in BHK-21 cells.

, a major vector of dengue virus (DENV), has a global distribution. Identifying the key components of the ubiquitin system of essential for the replication of viruses could help identify targets for developing broad-spectrum antiviral strategies. This study explores the interaction between E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (Ubc9) and DENV-2 proteins (NS1, NS5, and E) using cell culture and mosquito models.

In this study, a novel Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) reverse genetic operating system was developed utilizing CMV promoters, enabling EMCV genome expression under the transcriptional control of the CMV immediate early promoter and BGH polyA transcriptional-termination signal. The full-length cDNA of EMCV BJC3 was ligated to the pRK5 vector, incorporating the CMV eukaryotic promoter sequence, resulting in the construction of recombinant plasmid EMCV (pEMCV). Subsequently, the recombinant plasmid was transfected into BHK-21 cells to generate the rescue virus.

Most members of the genus Orthonairovirus, represented by Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus and Nairobi sheep disease virus, are tick-borne, and some have become a public health concern in recent years. Here, we report the isolation and genetic and biological characterization of a new orthonairovirus, designated as "Iwanai Valley virus" (IWVV), from Ixodes ovatus ticks in Hokkaido, Japan. The amino acid sequence of the viral nucleoprotein (NP) was found to be 34-45% identical to those of known orthonairoviruses.

The study investigates the impact of incorporating Ni and Cu into the lattice of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) to enhance their anticancer and antioxidant properties. Characterization techniques including pXRD, FTIR, UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, FESEM, and EDAX confirm the successful synthesis and structural modifications of Ni/Cu-ZnO NPs. Anticancer activity against breast cancer (MDA) and normal skin (BHK-21) cells reveals dose-dependent cytotoxicity, with Ni/Cu-ZnO NPs exhibiting higher efficacy against MDA cells while being less harmful to BHK-21 cells.

(DENV) is an enveloped, positive sense, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the . Translation initiation of the DENV mRNA (vRNA) can occur following a cap-dependent, 5'-3'end-dependent internal ribosome entry site (IRES)-independent or IRES-dependent mechanism. This study evaluated the activity of DENV IRES in BHK-21 cells and the role of the polypyrimidine-tract binding protein (PTB) isoforms PTB1, PTB2, and PTB4 as IRES-transacting factors (ITAFs) for the DENV IRES.
