The palmitoyl-CoA ligase Fum16 is part of a Fusarium verticillioides fumonisin subcluster involved in self-protection by Fabio Gherlone, Katarina Jojić, Ying Huang, Sandra Hoefgen, Vito Valiante, Slavica Janevska

“…ABSTRACT Fusarium verticillioides produces the mycotoxin fumonisin B1 (FB1), which disrupts sphingolipid biosynthesis by inhibiting ceramide synthase and affects the health of plants, animals, and humans. The means by which F. verticillioides protects itself from its own mycotoxin are not completely understood. …”

Delay of innate immune responses following influenza B virus infection affects the development of a robust antibody response in ferrets by Thomas Rowe, Ashley Fletcher, Melissa Lange, Yasuko Hatta, Gabriela Jasso, David E. Wentworth, Ted M. Ross

“…ABSTRACT Due to its natural influenza susceptibility, clinical signs, transmission, and similar sialic acid residue distribution, the ferret is the primary animal model for human influenza research. Antibodies generated following infection of ferrets with human influenza viruses are used in surveillance to detect antigenic drift and cross-reactivity with vaccine viruses and circulating strains. …”

The protein structurome of Orthornavirae and its dark matter by Pascal Mutz, Antonio Pedro Camargo, Harutyun Sahakyan, Uri Neri, Anamarija Butkovic, Yuri I. Wolf, Mart Krupovic, Valerian V. Dolja, Eugene V. Koonin

“…We used protein structure modeling and similarity searches to illuminate the remaining dark matter in hundreds of thousands of orthornavirus genomes. The vast majority of the dark matter domains showed either “generic” folds, such as single α-helices, or no high confidence structure predictions. …”

Host–virus interactions during infection with a wild-type ILTV strain or a glycoprotein G deletion mutant ILTV vaccine strain in an ex vivo system by Gayathri Gopakumar, Mauricio J.C. Coppo, Andrés Diaz-Méndez, Carol A. Hartley, Joanne M. Devlin

“…Transcriptomes of the vaccine and wild-type ILTV were also compared with each other. Although no viral genes (except for gG) were differentially regulated between the two ILTV-infected TOCs, pair-wise comparison of the transcriptomes of the ∆gG-ILTV or the CSW-1 ILTV-infected TOCs (each compared with mock-infected TOCs) identified the similarities and differences in host gene transcription between them. …”
