Molecular keys of the tropism of integration of the cholera toxin phage.
Cholera toxin is encoded in the genome of CTXvarphi, a lysogenic filamentous phage of Vibrio cholerae. CTXvarphi variants contribute to the genetic diversity of cholera epidemic strains. It has been shown that the El Tor variant of CTXvarphi hijacks XerC and XerD, two host-encoded tyrosine recombinases that normally function to resolve chromosome dimers, to integrate at dif1, the dimer resoluti...
متن کاملViral Tropism
The authors in this Research Topic have highlighted the importance of viral tropism by presenting biological phenomena and their underpinning host cellular and molecular bases. The biologically unique phenomenon of viral tropism is not only of interest to virologists to bring progress to their basic science but also highly relevant to clinical studies with the goal to design new anti-viral stra...
متن کاملTropism in Transgenic Mice
Expression of the human poliovirus receptor (PVR) in transgenic mice results in susceptibility to poliovirus infection. In the primate host, poliovirus infection is characterized by restricted tissue tropism. To determine the pattern of poliovirus tissue tropism in PVR transgenic mice, PVR gene expression and susceptibility to poliovirus infection were examined by in situ hybridization. PVR RNA...
متن کاملMeasles virus receptors and tropism.
Measles virus (MV) is a member of the Morbillivirus genus in the Paramyxoviridae family. Human signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) acts as a cellular receptor for MV. SLAM is expressed on immature thymocytes, activated lymphocytes, macrophages and mature dendritic cells. This distribution of SLAM is in accord with lymphotropism and immunosuppressive nature of MV. Canine distemper an...
متن کاملPuzzling Peptides from a Phage Display Library
The commercial availability of random peptide libraries displayed on the M13 phage is increasing their use forstudies on epitope identification, enzyme inhibitors, receptor ligands, etc. In this study two experimentswhere planned for selection of peptides. First with sheep antibodies, the positive selector was IgG, preparedon Protein G column from a pool of 11 sheeps immunized...
