Bombyx mori bidensovirus (BmBDV), a significant pathogen in the sericulture industry, holds a unique taxonomic position due to its distinct segmented single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome and the presence of a self-encoding DNA polymerase. However, the functions of viral non-structural proteins, such as NS2, remain unknown. This protein is hypothesized to play a role in viral replication and pathogenesis.

SADS-CoV, a recently identified bat coronavirus HKU2-associated swine coronavirus, is a malignant pathogen that causes acute diarrhea, severe diarrhea, and weight loss in infected piglets. The virus was first detected in Guangdong Province, China, in 2017 and has since been observed in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangxi Provinces. In 2023, the virus was detected in Henan Province, in inland China.

Limited impact of hepatitis A virus 3C protease-mediated cleavage on the functions of NEMO in human hepatocytes.

J Virol

Department of Infectious Diseases, Molecular Virology, Section Virus-Host Interactions, Heidelberg University, Medical Faculty Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany.

NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) is critically involved in the induction of interferons (IFNs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) 3C protease was recently identified to cleave NEMO in non-hepatic cells. This study aimed at understanding efficiency and function of HAV 3C-mediated NEMO cleavage in hepatocytes.

The discovery that infections of viruses are pervasive among insects has considerable potential for future applications, such as new strategies for pest control through the manipulation of virus-host interactions. However, few studies can be found that aim to minimize (for beneficial insects) or maximize (for pests) virus impact or virulence. Viruses generally employ molecular mechanisms that deviate from the cells' to increase their replication efficiency and to avoid the immune response.

Probing living cell dynamics and molecular interactions using atomic force microscopy.

Biophys Rev

December 2024

Louvain Institute of Biomolecular Science and Technology, Université catholique de Louvain, Croix du sud 4-5, L7.07.07, 1348 Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has emerged as a powerful tool for studying biological interactions at the single-molecule level, offering unparalleled insights into receptor-ligand dynamics on living cells. This review discusses key developments in the application of AFM, highlighting its ability to capture nanomechanical properties of cellular surfaces and probe dynamic interactions, such as virus-host binding. AFM's versatility in measuring mechanical forces and mapping molecular interactions in near-physiological conditions is explored.
