Listeria monocytogenes (LM) is a Gram-positive, facultative intracellular bacterium responsible for disseminated infections in immunocompromised individuals which can result in septicaemia and meningitis (1). Effective control of listeriosis requires both innate and adaptive immune responses with th...
The human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) pUS2 glycoprotein exploits the host’s endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway to degrade MHC class I and prevent antigen presentation. Beyond MHC class I, pUS2 has been shown to target a range of cellular proteins for degradation, preventing ...
Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is a malignant neoplasm with smooth muscle differentiation. Little is known about its molecular heterogeneity and no targeted therapy currently exists for LMS. We demonstrate the existence of 3 molecular subtypes in a cohort of 99 cases and an independent cohort of 82 LMS. Tw...
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an important human pathogen and a paradigm of viral immune evasion, targeting intrinsic, innate and adaptive immunity. We have employed two novel, orthogonal multiplexed tandem mass tag-based proteomic screens to identify host proteins downregulated by viral factors e...
