Zika virus (ZIKV) is a re-emerging mosquito-borne flavivirus that has been linked to severe neurological disorders such as microcephaly in newborns as well as Guillain-Barré syndrome in adults. It is closely related to other flaviviruses...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-encapsulated structures released by cells which carry signaling factors, proteins and microRNAs that mediate intercellular communication. Accumulating evidence supports an important role of EVs...
During the past 30 years, there have been several Flaviviridae threats. Among them, Hepatatis C virus (HCV) emerged in the Western hemisphere as the previously unidentified etiological agent of non-A non-B hepatitis in transfusion...
ORF45 of Kaposi's sarcoma–associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a gamma herpesvirus-specific, immediate-early, and tegument protein. Our previous studies have revealed its crucial roles in both early and late stages of KSHV infection. In this...
Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) is an oncogenic virus that has adapted unique mechanisms to modulate the cellular microenvironment of its human host. The pathogenesis of KSHV is intimately linked to its manipulation of...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane enclosed vesicles released from cells that act as mediators of intercellular communication and are involved in normal physiological processes as well as pathological conditions. EVs can transfer...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) include exosomes and microvesicles, and are important mediators of cell-to-cell communication in healthy and pathological environments. Packed with biological information and present in a variety of...
Regular emergence and re-emergence of viral pathogens emphasizes the importance of understanding viral biogeography and migration. Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) viruses are among the least understood groups of microbial pathogens, yet the...
Zika virus (ZIKV) became a global health concern in 2016 due to its links to congenital microcephaly and other birth defects. ZIKV is part of the genus flavivirus, a class of positive(+)- sense single-stranded RNA viruses. Flavivirus...
Flaviviruses are positive sense single-stranded enveloped RNA viruses, most are mosquito-transmitted viruses that cause systemic infection as they disseminate through the bloodstream in vertebrate hosts. The members of the flavivirus...
Zika virus is an arbovirus that has reemerged in recent years as a global health concern. A member of the Flavivirus genus, Zika virus is closely related to other major human pathogens such as dengue virus and West Nile virus, but each...
Cyclophilin A (CyPA) and its peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) activity plays an essential role in hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. Mounting evidence indicate nonstructural protein 5A (NS5A) of HCV as the major target of...
Characterization of the Subcellular Localization of ORF52/KicGAS and Functional Roles during the Life Cycles of Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a gammaherpesvirus that causes Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) and two lymphoproliferative diseases. We previously reported KSHV ORF52/KicGAS (KSHV inhibitor of cGAS) to inhibit cGAS (cyclic GMP...
