Towards Inhibition of Vif-APOBEC3G Interaction: Which Protein to Target? by Iris Cadima-Couto, Joao Goncalves

“…The antiretroviral activity of some of these proteins is overtaken by the action of HIV-1 Viral Infectivity Factor (Vif) protein. Since the discovery of APOBEC3G (A3G) as an antiviral factor, many advances have been made to understand its mechanism of action in the cell and how Vif acts in order to counteract its activity. …”

Human Antibodies Can Cross Guinea Pig Placenta and Bind Its Neonatal Fc Receptor: Implications for Studying Immune Prophylaxis and Therapy during Pregnancy by Evi Budo Struble, Li Ma, Lilin Zhong, A. Lesher, Joel Beren, Pei Zhang

“…Using an intravenous antihepatitis B-specific immune globulin preparation as an example, we show that this transport results in neutralizing activity in the mother and the newborn that would potentially be prophylactic against hepatitis B viral infection. These preliminary data lay the groundwork for introducing pregnant guinea pigs as an appropriate model for the evaluation of antibody therapies and advancing the health of women and neonates.…”

lncRNA NORAD modulates STAT3/STAT1 balance and innate immune responses in human cells via interaction with STAT3 by Amir Argoetti, Dor Shalev, Galia Polyak, Noa Shima, Hadas Biran, Tamar Lahav, Tamar Hashimshony, Yael Mandel-Gutfreund

“…Analysis of RNA expression data from in vitro experiments and clinical samples demonstrates reduced NORAD upon viral infection. Additionally, evolutionary conservation analysis suggests that this regulatory function of NORAD is restricted to humans, potentially owing to the introduction of an Alu element in hominoids. …”

Probing SARS-CoV-2 membrane binding peptide via single-molecule AFM-based force spectroscopy by Qingrong Zhang, Raissa S. L. Rosa, Ankita Ray, Kimberley Durlet, Gol Mohammad Dorrazehi, Rafael C. Bernardi, David Alsteens

“…Our results show that the MBP preferentially associates with cholesterol-rich membranes, and we find that cholesterol depletion significantly reduces viral infectivity. Furthermore, we observe that the disulfide bridge stabilizes the MBP’s interaction with the membrane, suggesting a structural role in viral entry. …”

Homeostatic antiviral protection of the neonatal gut epithelium by interferon lambda by Bryan Ramirez Reyes, Shelby Madden, Kimberly A. Meyer, Brenden Bartsch, Austin P. Wright, David A. Constant, Timothy J. Nice

“…These studies identify developmental regulation of the homeostatic IFN-λ response, which is present in the neonatal intestine from birth, stimulated independent of microbiota, and preemptively protects IECs from viral infection. This intrinsically programmed antiviral response in early life is particularly important due to the absence of a robust microbiota or protective immune memory at birth, when the risk of enteric infection is high.…”
