SanA is an inner membrane protein mediating Salmonella Typhimurium infection by Adrianna Stypułkowska, Rafał Kolenda, Ewa Carolak, Joanna Czajkowska, Agata Dutkiewicz, Wiktoria Waszczuk, Wiktoria Bińczyk, Teresa L. M. Thurston, Krzysztof Grzymajło

“…Transcriptional fusion indicated that sanA expression is important during late exponential and early stationary growth phases and remains significant 24 h post-host cell entry. Invasion assays showed that sanA deletion in bacteria grown to early stationary phase increased invasiveness, partly due to higher sicA expression regulated by nutrient availability. …”

Deficient of glycosylation site in the envelop protein attenuated Zika virus replication in mosquito cells by Wen-Jing Wang, Wen-Jing Wang, Zi-Han Wang, Zi-Han Wang, Jing Li, Jing Li, Sai-Ya Ma, Sai-Ya Ma, Mei He, Mei He, Meng-Xuan Liu, Meng-Xuan Liu, Yu-Fei Zhan, Yu-Fei Zhan, Feng Jin, Feng Jin, Guosheng Qu, Guosheng Qu, Chunhong Yin, Chunhong Yin, Jie Tong, Jie Tong

“…Although glycosylation of the E protein is known to influence viral infectivity and immune evasion, the specific functional roles of E protein glycosylation in ZIKV infectivity in mosquito cells remain unclear.MethodsIn this study, we generated a deglycosylation mutant ZIKV with a T156I substitution in the E protein and investigated its effects on viral replication and viral-host interactions in mosquito C6/36 cells.ResultsOur results demonstrated that the T156I mutant exhibited attenuated replication compared to the wild-type virus during the early stages (0-24 hours) post-virus infection in mosquito C6/36 cells. This attenuation was associated with reduced E protein expression, which was regulated at the post-transcriptional level. …”
