Structural studies of filamentous plant viruses by cryo-electron microscopy and cryo-electron tomography
(2021-09-09)
Los virus filamentosos flexibles de plantas representan un grupo de patógenos de plantas que causan un gran impacto económico en cultivos dedicados a la agricultura. El géneropotyvirus es el más numeroso y abarca hasta un ...
Microfluidic chip with pillar arrays for controlled production and observation of lipid membrane nanotubes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-08-07)
Lipid membrane nanotubes (NTs) are a widespread template forin vitrostudies of cellular processes happening at high membrane curvature. Traditionally NTs are manufactured one by one, using sophisticated membrane ...
Phosphatidic Acid Stimulates Myoblast Proliferation through Interaction with LPA1 and LPA2 Receptors
(MDPI, 2021-02-01)
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is a bioactive phospholipid capable of regulating key biological functions, including neutrophil respiratory burst, chemotaxis, or cell growth and differentiation. However, the mechanisms whereby PA ...
Implication of ceramide 1-phosphate in obesity-associated processes. Role of PEMT
(2016-01-22)
Obesity is the most common metabolic disease in developed nations and has become a global epidemic in recent years. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate obesity-associated processes, such as cell ...
Molecular Techniques for Dicistrovirus Detection without RNA Extraction or Purification
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
Dicistroviridae is a new family of small, nonenveloped, and +ssRNA viruses pathogenic to both beneficial arthropods and insect pests as well. Triatoma virus (TrV), a dicistrovirus, is a pathogen of Triatoma infestans ...
Multiscale modelization in a small virus: Mechanism of proton channeling and its role in triggering capsid disassembly
(Public Library Science, 2018-04)
In this work, we assess a previously advanced hypothesis that predicts the existence of ion channels in the capsid of small and non-enveloped icosahedral viruses. With this purpose we examine Triatoma Virus (TrV) as a case ...
Interaction between colicin A pore-forming domain and its cognate immunity protein
(2017-07-14)
La colicina A y en concreto el dominio formador de poros, pfColA es expresado por Escherichia coli y resulta tóxico para cepas relacionadas. Las bacterias productoras de la toxina expresan la proteína de inmunidad Cai que ...
Repurposing ciclopirox as a pharmacological chaperone active against congenital erythropoietic porphyria.
(2018-10-19)
La porfiria eritropoyética congénita es una enfermedad rara autosómica recesiva producida por una actividad deficiente en la uroporfirinógeno III sintasa, la cuarta enzima de la ruta biosintética del grupo hemo. La enfermedad ...
Mechanistic details of apoptosis-regulatory proteins BAX and BFL1 at the membrane level
(2017-12-18)
La homeostasis de tejidos es considerado como el equilibrio entre la muerte y proliferación celular, y es por ello que su desregulación a menudo está asociada a diversas situaciones patológicas, tales como enfermedades ...
ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile:PolycipiviridaeIngrida
(Microbiology Society, 2019-04)
Polycipiviridae is a family of picorna-like viruses with non-segmented, linear, positive-sense RNA genomes of approximately 10-12 kb. Unusually for viruses within the order Picornavirales, their genomes are polycistronic, ...
