Identification of Host-Dependent Survival Factors for Intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis through an siRNA Screen
The stable infection of host macrophages by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) involves, and depends on, the attenuation of the diverse microbicidal responses mounted by the host cell. This is primarily achieved through targeted perturbations of the host cellular signaling machinery. Therefore, in view of the dependency of the pathogen on host molecules for its intracellular survival, we wanted t...
متن کاملsiRNA Screen Identifies Trafficking Host Factors that Modulate Alphavirus Infection.
Little is known about the repertoire of cellular factors involved in the replication of pathogenic alphaviruses. To uncover molecular regulators of alphavirus infection, and to identify candidate drug targets, we performed a high-content imaging-based siRNA screen. We revealed an actin-remodeling pathway involving Rac1, PIP5K1- α, and Arp3, as essential for infection by pathogenic alphaviruses....
متن کاملHuman genome-wide RNAi screen reveals host factors required for enterovirus 71 replication
Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a neurotropic enterovirus without antivirals or vaccine, and its host-pathogen interactions remain poorly understood. Here we use a human genome-wide RNAi screen to identify 256 host factors involved in EV71 replication in human rhabdomyosarcoma cells. Enrichment analyses reveal overrepresentation in processes like mitotic cell cycle and transcriptional regulation. We h...
متن کاملCombined proteomic-RNAi screen for host factors involved in human hepatitis delta virus replication.
Human hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is the only animal virus known to replicate its RNA genome using a host polymerase because its only virally encoded proteins, the small and large hepatitis delta antigens (HDAg-S and HDAg-L), lack polymerase activity. Although this makes HDV an ideal model system to study RNA-directed transcription in mammalian cells, little is known about the host factors invo...
متن کاملIdentification of Human Cytomegalovirus pUL27 R233 point mutation using PCR-RFLP
Background and Aims: Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is one of the life-threatening agents in immunosuppressed patients and congenitally infected neonates in the world. Mutations in UL27 were suggested to confer low- to high-grade Maribavir (MBV) resistance. As pUL27 R233S variation may involve in either MBV-resistance, we aimed to establish a method for identifying R233 coding sequence mutation...
