Project description:As intracellular parasites, viruses exploit cellular proteins at every stage of infection. Adenovirus related outbreaks cause severe acute respiratory illnesses and conjunctivitis, with no specific antiviral therapy yet available. Herein, we investigate human adenovirus (HAdV-D37) pIIIa-host protein interactions by affinity purification and mass spectrometry (AP-MS) screens. We demonstrate that viral pIIIa interacts with ubiquitin-specific protease 9x (USP9x) and Ran-binding protein 2 (RANBP2).

Project description:Full title: Genome-wide expression profiles of primary human small airway epithelial cells (SAECs) infected with different adenovirus mutants. Expression arrays were used to analyze global gene expression changes in SAECs infected with either mock, dE1B-55k, or d55k/dORF3 adenovirus at 36 hours post infection, as well as nutlin treatment for 12 hours.
Project description:Adenovirus type 2 RNA splicing sites were mapped by using deep cDNA sequencing. The majority of the previously identified splice sites were detected. In addition, novel splicing sites were identified Total RNA obtained from four time stages of human primary lung fibroblast cells IMR-90 infected by adenovirus type 2 compared to the control mock-infected by adenovirus type 2.
