Here, we provide a protocol for the identification of E3 ubiquitin ligases that are functional when implemented as biodegraders using a cell-based screening assay. We describe steps for establishing a stable cell line expressing a GFP-tagged protein of interest (POI), preparing a sub-library of E3 ligases to screen, and performing the cell-based screening. This protocol can be broadly applied to identify any functional E3 ligase in a biodegrader setting. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Cornebois et al..

Aim Traditional Ayurvedic herbo-mineral medicines have proven their potential in managing COVID-19. Cell-based assays of the Svarnvir-IV tablet demonstrated the virucidal activity against SARS-CoV-2 and its therapeutic action, along with safety in cytotoxicity, has been proved. In the present study, in vivo, safety profile and compositional analysis of the Svarnvir-IV tablet were performed.

Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic bacterium prevalent in various environment, is a significant cause of nosocomial infections in ICUs. As the causative agent of pneumonia, septicemia, and meningitis, A. baumannii typically exhibits multidrug resistance and is associated with poor prognosis, thus led to a challenge for researchers in developing new treatment and prevention methods.

Some patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD)-like symptoms test negative for anti-aquaporin-4 (anti-AQP4) antibodies. Among them, a subset has antibodies targeting myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), a condition now termed MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). MOGAD shares features with NMOSD, like optic neuritis and myelitis, but differs in pathophysiology, clinical presentation, imaging findings, and biomarkers.

Introduction: Salmonella, a foodborne zoonotic pathogen, is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in animals and humans globally. With the prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains, Salmonellosis has become a formidable challenge. Host-directed therapy (HDT) has recently emerged as a promising anti-infective approach for treating intracellular bacterial infections.

Background: Tau proteins aggregate in a number of neurodegenerative disorders known as tauopathies. Various studies have highlighted the role of microtubule-binding domains in the intracellular aggregation of Tau protein.
Method: Using a library of synthetic VHHs humanized in collaboration with Hybrigenics, we have developed a number of anti-tau VHHs.
