Tick-borne encephalitis virus is an enveloped, pathogenic, RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. Viral particles are formed when the nucleocapsid, consisting of an RNA genome and multiple copies of the capsid protein, buds through the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and acquires ...
Enzymatic modification of DNA nucleobases can coordinate gene expression, nuclease protection or mutagenesis. We recently discovered a clade of phage-specific cytosine methyltransferase (MT) and 5-methylpyrimidine dioxygenase (5mYOX) enzymes that produce 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) as a precur...
Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a highly adapted intracellular parasite that depends entirely on the host cell's metabolic resources and energy for the synthesis of viral components. However, the mechanisms by which BVDV remodels host lipid metabolism remain unclear. In this study, we explo...
