ZAPS is a potent stimulator of signaling mediated by the RNA helicase RIG-I during antiviral responses

TL;DR: ZAPS was selectively induced by 5′-triphosphate–modified RNA (3pRNA) and functioned as a potent stimulator of interferon responses in human cells mediated by the RNA helicase RIG-I, suggesting its possible use as a therapeutic target for viral control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction between TIM-1 and NPC1 Is Important for Cellular Entry of Ebola Virus

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TIM-1 and NPC1, which serve as attachment and fusion receptors for filovirus entry, interact in the intracellular vesicles where Ebola virus GP-mediated membrane fusion occurs and that this interaction is important forfilovirus infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat Shock Protein 70 Modulates Influenza A Virus Polymerase Activity

TL;DR: For the first time, these findings suggest that Hsp70 may act as a chaperone for influenza virus polymerase, and the modulatory effect of H Sp70 appears to be a sequel of shuttling of HSp70 between nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional role of death-associated protein 3 (DAP3) in anoikis.

TL;DR: Involvement of DAP3 in anoikis signaling demonstrates a novel role for this GTP-binding protein in apoptosis induction caused by cell detachment, and shows that D AP3 is phosphorylated by kinase Akt (PKB), and active Akt can nullify apoptotic induction by DAP2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Programmed Cell Death in the Pathogenesis of Influenza

TL;DR: This work reviews the current understanding of mechanisms of programmed cell death in the pathogenesis of influenza and shows that there are different types of programmedcell death that vary in terms of molecular mechanisms and/or associations with inflammation.
