VCP/p97 Is a Proviral Host Factor for Replication of Chikungunya Virus and Other Alphaviruses by Guillaume Carissimo, Yi-Hao Chan, Yi-Hao Chan, Age Utt, Tze-Kwang Chua, Farhana Abu Bakar, Farhana Abu Bakar, Andres Merits, Lisa F. P. Ng, Lisa F. P. Ng, Lisa F. P. Ng

“…The evolutionarily conserved AAA+ ATPase valosin-containing protein (VCP) was previously shown to be a proviral host factor for several viruses from different viral families such as Flaviviridae, Picornaviridae, and Herpesviridae. VCP was shown to affect trafficking of Sindbis virus receptor and functions as a component of Semliki Forest virus (SFV) replicase compartment. …”

Human Cytomegalovirus-Induced Degradation of CYTIP Modulates Dendritic Cell Adhesion and Migration by Christiane S. Heilingloh, Linda Grosche, Christina Draßner, Petra Mühl-Zürbes, Lisa Kamm, Vu Thuy Khanh Le-Trilling, Mirko Trilling, Alexander Steinkasserer

“…In the present study, we extended our analysis to the β-herpesvirus human cytomegalovirus (HCMV), to investigate whether other herpesviridae also induce such modulations. Indeed, HCMV impairs mDC transwell migration capability following a CCL19-chemokine gradient, despite equivalent expression levels of the cognate chemokine receptor CCR7 at the corresponding time points post-infection. …”
