Agar is a galactan and a major component of the red algal cell wall. Agar is metabolized only by specific microorganisms. The final step of the β-agarolytic pathway is mediated by α-neoagarooligosaccharide hydrolase (α-NAOSH), which cleaves neoagarobiose to D-galactose and 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactose. In the present study, two α-NAOSHs, SCO3481 and SCO3479, were identified in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). SCO3481 (370 amino acids, 41.12 kDa) and SCO3479 (995 amino acids, 108.8 kDa) catalyzed the hydrolysis of the α-(1,3) glycosidic bonds of neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose, and neoagarohexaose at the nonreducing ends, releasing 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactose. Both were intracellular proteins without any signal peptides for secretion. Similar to all α-NAOSHs reported to date, SCO3481 belonged to the glycosyl hydrolase (GH) 117 family and formed dimers. On the other hand, SCO3479 was a large monomeric α-NAOSH belonging to the GH2 family with a β-galactosidase domain. SCO3479 also clearly showed β-galactosidase activity toward lactose and artificial substrates, but SCO3481 did not. The optimum conditions for α-NAOSH were pH 6.0 and 25 °C for SCO3481, and pH 6.0 and 30 °C for SCO3479. Enzymatic activity was enhanced by Co for SCO3481 and Mg for SCO3479. The β-galactosidase activity of SCO3479 was maximum at pH 7.0 and 50 °C and was increased by Mg. Many differences were evident in the kinetic parameters of each enzyme. Although SCO3481 is typical of the GH117 family, SCO3479 is a novel α-NAOSH that was first reported in the GH2 family. SCO3479, a unique bifunctional enzyme with α-NAOSH and β-galactosidase activities, has many advantages for industrial applications. KEY POINTS: • SCO3481 is a dimeric α-neoagarooligosaccharide hydrolase belonging to GH117. • SCO3479 is a monomeric α-neoagarooligosaccharide hydrolase belonging to GH2. • SCO3479 is a novel and unique bifunctional enzyme that also acts as a β-galactosidase.

Protein phosphorylation is a crucial regulatory mechanism in cellular homeostasis. The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) incorporates protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) into its tegument, yet the biological relevance and mechanisms of this incorporation remain unclear. Our study offers the first characterization of the PP1 interactome during HCMV infection and its alterations.

This study evaluates the oncolytic potential of the Moscow strain of reovirus against human metastatic melanoma and glioblastoma cells. The Moscow strain effectively infects and replicates within human melanoma cell lines and primary glioblastoma cells, while sparing non-malignant human cells. Infection leads to the selective destruction of neoplastic cells, mediated by functional viral replication.

This study investigated a library of known and novel glycyrrhizic acid (GL) conjugates with amino acids and dipeptide esters, as inhibitors of the DENV NS2B-NS3 protease. We utilized docking algorithms to evaluate the interactions of these GL derivatives with key residues (His51, Asp75, Ser135, and Gly153) within 10 Å of the DENV-2 NS2B-NS3 protease binding pocket (PDB ID: 2FOM). It was found that compounds and exhibited unique binding patterns, forming hydrogen bonds with Asp75, Tyr150, and Gly153.

During virus infection, the activation of the antiviral endoribonuclease, ribonuclease L (RNase L), by a unique ligand 2'-5'-oilgoadenylate (2-5A) causes the cleavage of single-stranded viral and cellular RNA targets, restricting protein synthesis, activating stress response pathways, and promoting cell death to establish broad antiviral effects. The immunostimulatory dsRNA cleavage products of RNase L activity (RL RNAs) recruit diverse dsRNA sensors to activate signaling pathways to amplify interferon (IFN) production and activate inflammasome, but the sensors that promote cell death are not known. In this study, we found that DEAH-box polypeptide 15 (DHX15) and retinoic acid-inducible gene I (Rig-I) are essential for apoptosis induced by RL RNAs and require mitochondrial antiviral signaling (MAVS), c-Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) for caspase-3-mediated intrinsic apoptosis.

Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), a pestivirus in the family , is a major livestock pathogen. Horizontal transmission leads to acute transient infections via the oronasal route, whereas vertical transmission might lead to the birth of immunotolerant, persistently infected animals. In both cases, BVDV exerts an immunosuppressive effect, predisposing infected animals to secondary infections.
