The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a γ-herpesvirus that infects B cells and epithelial cells and that has been linked to malignancies in both cell types in vivo. EBV, like other herpesviruses, has three glycoproteins, glycoprotein B (gB), gH, and gL, that form the core membrane fusion machinery mediating viral penetration into the cell. The gH and gL proteins associate to form a heterodimeric comp...

Herpesvirus gH/gL envelope glycoprotein complexes are key players in virus entry as ligands for host cell receptors and by promoting fusion of viral envelopes with cellular membranes. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) has two alternative gH/gL complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128,130,131A which both shape the HCMV tropism. By studying binding of HCMV particles to fibroblasts, we could for the first t...

As part of our ongoing investigation of the stenoendemic plants belonging to the Brassicaceae family, we report on the chemistry of Fibigia triquetra (DC.) Boiss. ex Prantl for the first time. Different plant parts (flower, leaf, stem, and seed) of F. triquetra were characterized and quantified for glucosinolates (GLs) according to the ISO 9167-1 EU official method based on the HPLC analysis of...

Sugarcane bagasse was pretreated by green liquor combined with ethanol (GL-Ethanol) and green liquor combined with H2O2 (GL-H2O2). After 72 h of enzymatic hydrolysis, the glucose yields of sugarcane bagasse pretreated with GL-Ethanol and GL-H2O2 were 97.7% and 41.7%, respectively. The reason that GL-Ethanol was more effective than GLH2O2 has not been elucidated clearly. In this study, the chemi...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) forms two different membrane protein complexes, gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128/UL130/UL131, that function in different cell types. gH/gL/gO appears to be important for HCMV entry into or spread between fibroblasts, processes that occur at neutral pH. We demonstrated that HCMV entry into epithelial and endothelial cells requires gH/gL/UL128-131 and involves endocytosis and...

• The theory of admissible representations of GL(2,Qp) (or more generally, GL(2, F ) with F/Qp a finite extension). • The theory of automorphic representations of GL(2); in particular, the correspondence between Hecke eigenforms in the classical sense and automorphic representations. • The Jacquet-Langlands correspondence, relating automorphic forms on GL(2) with those on a division algebra. • ...

‎The global generalized minimum residual (Gl-GMRES)‎ ‎method is examined for solving the generalized Sylvester matrix equation‎ ‎[sumlimits_{i = 1}^q {A_i } XB_i = C.]‎ ‎Some new theoretical results are elaborated for‎ ‎the proposed method by employing the Schur complement‎. ‎These results can be exploited to establish new convergence properties‎ ‎of the Gl-GMRES method for solving genera...

The phosphoserine/phosphothreonine-binding protein 14-3-3 is known to regulate actin; this function has been previously attributed to sequestration of phosphorylated cofilin. 14-3-3 was identified as an actin-associated protein in the deep-branching eukaryote Giardia lamblia; however, Giardia lacks cofilin and all other canonical actin-binding proteins (ABPs). Thus, the role of G. lamblia 14-3-...
