Imaging analysis of human metapneumovirus-infected cells provides evidence for the involvement of F-actin and the raft-lipid microdomains in virus morphogenesis by Jumat, Muhammad Raihan, Nguyen Huong, Tra, Wong, Puisan, Loo, Liat Hui, Tan, Boon Huan, Fenwick, Fiona, Toms, Geoffrey L., Sugrue, Richard J.

“…The similarity between HMPV morphogenesis and the closely related human respiratory syncytial virus suggests that involvement of F-actin and lipid-raft microdomains in virus morphogenesis may be a common feature of the Pneumovirinae.…”

Caveolae provide a specialized membrane environment for respiratory syncytial virus assembly by Ravi, Laxmi Iyer, Huan, Tan Boon, Ludwig, Alexander, Nguyen, Tra Huong, Leong, Daniel, Sandin, Sara, Sugrue, Richard J.

“…Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an enveloped virus that assembles into filamentous virus particles on the surface of infected cells. Morphogenesis of RSV is dependent upon cholesterol-rich (lipid raft) membrane microdomains, but the specific role of individual raft molecules in RSV assembly is not well defined. …”

Nanomechanical force mapping of restricted cell-to-cell collisions oscillating between contraction and relaxation by Hu, Benhui, Leow, Wan Ru, Cai, Pingqiang, Li, Yong-Qiang, Wu, Yun-Long, Chen, Xiaodong

“…Contact-mediated cell migration strongly determines the invasiveness of the corresponding cells, collective migration, and morphogenesis. The quantitative study of cellular response upon contact relies on cell-to-cell collision, which rarely occurs in conventional cell culture. …”

Quantitative proteomic analysis of secretome of microbial consortium during saw dust utilization by Ravindran, Anita, Cheow, Esther Sok Hwee, Sze, Siu Kwan, Adav, Sunil S.

“…The functional classification of the secretory proteins by individual culture and co-culture demonstrated 36.77% cellulolytic proteins, 13.06% hemicellulases, 14.09% ligninolytic proteins, 19.59% proteolytic enzymes. 7.22% hypothetical proteins and 6.87% cell morphogenesis proteins. The abundance of the proteins by individual cultures and co-cultured fungal consortium revealed that co-culturing of Phanerochaete chrysosporium with Trichoderma reesei QM6a and Trichoderma reesei Rut C30 induced the production of cellulolytic proteins and stimulated expression of hemicellulolytic enzymes. …”

Trimerization of the N-terminal tail of Zika virus NS4A protein : a potential in vitro antiviral screening assay by To, Janet, Torres, Jaume

“…The nonstructural (NS) protein NS4A in flaviviruses is a membrane protein that is critical for virulence, and, among other roles, it participates in membrane morphogenesis. In dengue virus (DENV), the NS4A hydrophilic N–terminal tail, together with the first transmembrane domain, is involved in both homo-oligomerization and hetero–oligomerization with NS4B. …”

Cellular senescence: mechanisms and therapeutic potential by Liao, Zehuan, Yeo, Han Lin, Wong, Siaw Wen, Zhao, Yan

“…While phenotypically diverse, characteristics of senescence include the expression of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, cell cycle arrest factors, senescence-associated β-galactosidase, morphogenesis, and chromatin remodelling. Persistent senescence is associated with pathologies such as aging, while transient senescence is associated with beneficial programmes, such as limb patterning. …”

Virus-induced activation of the rac1 protein at the site of respiratory syncytial virus assembly is a requirement for virus particle assembly on infected cells by Ravi, Laxmi Iyer, Tan, Timothy J., Tan, Boon Huan, Sugrue, Richard J.

“…RSV infection led to increased rac1 protein activation, and using the rac1 protein inhibitor NS23766 we provided evidence that the increased rac1 activation occurred at the site of RSV assembly and facilitated F-actin remodeling during virus morphogenesis. A non-infectious virus-like particle (VLP) assay showed that the RSV VLPs formed in lipid-raft microdomains containing the rac1 protein, together with F-actin and filamin-1 (cell proteins associated with virus filaments). …”

The late endosomal HOPS complex anchors active G-protein signaling essential for pathogenesis in magnaporthe oryzae by Ramanujam, Ravikrishna., Calvert, Meredith E., Selvaraj, Poonguzhali., Naqvi, Naweed I.

“…Although the role for G-protein mediated Cyclic AMP signaling in appressorium formation was first identified almost two decades ago, little is known about the spatio-temporal dynamics of the cascade and how the signal is transmitted through the intracellular network during cell growth and morphogenesis. In this study, we demonstrate that the late endosomal compartments, comprising of a PI3P-rich (Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate) highly dynamic tubulo-vesicular network, scaffold active MagA/GαS, Rgs1 (a GAP for MagA), Adenylate cyclase and Pth11 (a non-canonical GPCR) in the likely absence of AKAP-like anchors during early pathogenic development in M. oryzae. …”
