- Virus-Cell InteractionsInositol-Requiring Enzyme 1α Promotes Zika Virus Infection through Regulation of Stearoyl Coenzyme A Desaturase 1-Mediated Lipid Metabolism
Zika virus (ZIKV) has been linked to serious neurologic disorders and causes widespread concern in the field of global public health. Inositol requiring enzyme 1α (IRE1α) is an ER-related transmembrane protein that mediates unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway. Here, we revealed that IRE1α is a proviral factor for ZIKV replication both in culture cells and mice model, which relies on its kinase and RNase activities. Importantly, we...
- Virus-Cell InteractionsUS3 Kinase-Mediated Phosphorylation of Tegument Protein VP8 Plays a Critical Role in the Cellular Localization of VP8 and Its Effect on the Lipid Metabolism of Bovine Herpesvirus 1-Infected Cells
Nuclear localization signals (NLSs) and nuclear export signals (NESs) are important elements directing VP8 to the desired locations in the BoHV-1-infected cell. In this study, a critical regulator that switches the nuclear and cytoplasmic localization of VP8 in BoHV-1-infected cells was identified. BoHV-1 used viral kinase US3 to regulate the cellular localization of VP8. Early during BoHV-1 infection VP8 was localized in the nucleus,...
