Project description:Whole-Genome Sequencing-Based Taxonomic Classification, and Comparative Genomic Analysis of Potentially Human Pathogenic Enterobacter spp. Isolated from Chlorinated Wastewater in the North West Province, South Africa
Project description:Total RNA was purified from keratinocytes isolated from FFPE arsenic-induced skin lesion samples collected from individuals exposed to high concentrations of arsenic exceeding 50 ppb in drinking water in Murshidibad district of West Bengal, India.
Project description:In this study two Viperidae species, living in two different habitats, the horned desert viper (Cerastes cerastes) native to the deserts in North Africa and in turn the mangrove pit viper (Cryptelytrops purpureomaculatus), which can be found in South/Southeast Asia, were studied in terms of the identification of the venom proteome.
Project description:Population samples of Drosophila melanogaster were hybridized to a genomic tiling array: separetely from 2 US localities, 3 Caribbean localities, 1 West Africa (Cameroon) locality and 1 Zimbabwe locality. We replicated each locality 3 times by pooling individual flies for each hybridization experiment replicate.
Project description:Transcription profiles of three field collections of Anopheles gambiae M molecular form (i.e. Anopheles coluzzii) from West Africa were compared to investigate their phenotypic differences in insecticide resistance. The susceptibility status for the individual samples was unknown but known for their source populations via phenotypic assays performed concurrently with the sample collections.
Project description:Lassa virus is a negative-strand RNA virus with only four structural proteins that causes periodic outbreaks in West Africa. The nucleoprotein (NP) encapsidates the viral genome, forming the ribonucleoparticles together with the viral RNA and the L protein, which have to be continuously restructured during viral genome replication and transcription. Z protein is important for ribonucleoparticle recruitment, viral particle assembly and budding, and has also been shown to interact with the L protein. However, the interaction of NP, viral RNA and Z is poorly understood. Here, we characterize the interactions between Lassa virus NP, Z and RNA using structural mass spectrometry. We identify the presence of RNA as the driver for disassembly of ring-like NP trimers into monomers to subsequently form higher order assemblies. We locate the interaction site of Z and NP and demonstrate that while NP binds Z independently of the presence of RNA, this interaction is pH-dependent. These data improve our understanding of ribonucleoparticle assembly and recruitment.
