Abstract

The M genome RNA segment of nephropathia epidemica virus (NEV) strain Hällnäs B1 was characterized by molecular cloning and DNA nucleotide sequencing of the corresponding cDNA clones. The size of the M RNA segment is 3682 nucleotides. The 3' and 5' terminal sequences are complementary for 21 bases and their predicted secondary structure is very stable. The viral complementary messenger RNA possesses a single long open reading frame with a coding capacity of 1148 amino acids (polypeptide of 126 kDa). A comparison of the NEV M segment to that of Hantaan virus strain 76-118 reveals 61% sequence homology at the nucleotide level and 53% at the deduced amino acid level. Four out of five potential asparagine-linked glycosylation sites of the encoded glycoproteins have been conserved between NEV and Hantaan M. The isoelectric points (IEP) are nearly identical. Furthermore it was found that 90% of all cysteine residues have been conserved. Putative NEV G1 and G2 are preceded by a short hydrophobic sequence as shown for G1 and G2 of Hantaan virus. Hydrophilicity profiles of the two segments are of striking similarity. These data indicate that NEV- and Hantaan virus M-encoded polypeptides seem to be very similar in structure and function ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
