Journal ArticleDOI
CD209L (L-SIGN) is a receptor for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
Scott A. Jeffers,Sonia M. Tusell,Laura Gillim-Ross,Erin M. Hemmila,Jenna E. Achenbach,Babcock Gregory J,William D. Thomas,Larissa B. Thackray,Mark D. Young,Robert J. Mason,Donna M. Ambrosino,David E. Wentworth,David E. Wentworth,James C. DeMartini,Kathryn V. Holmes +14 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that the large S glycoprotein of SARS-CoV may use both ACE2 and CD209L in virus infection and pathogenesis, and several other enveloped viruses including Ebola and Sindbis also useCD209L as a portal of entry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diversity and evolutionary relationships of the pregnancy-associated glycoproteins, an aspartic proteinase subfamily consisting of many trophoblast-expressed genes
Sancai Xie,Jonathan A. Green,James B. Bixby,Bozena Szafranska,James C. DeMartini,Steven J. Hecht,R. Michael Roberts +6 more
TL;DR: Construction of distance phylograms, based on comparisons of PAG and related aspartic proteinase amino acid sequences, suggests that much diversification of the PAG genes occurred after the divergence of the Artiodactyla and PerissodactylA, but that at least one gene is represented outside the hooved species.
Journal ArticleDOI
A paradigm for virus-host coevolution: sequential counter-adaptations between endogenous and exogenous retroviruses.
Frederick Arnaud,Marco Caporale,Mariana Varela,Roman Biek,Bernardo Chessa,Alberto Alberti,Matthew C. Golder,Manuela Mura,Ya-ping Zhang,Li Yu,Filipe Pereira,James C. DeMartini,Kreg Leymaster,Thomas E. Spencer,Massimo Palmarini +14 more
TL;DR: It is strongly suggested that endogenization and selection of ERVs acting as restriction factors is a mechanism used by the host to fight retroviral infections.

Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study has demonstrated clearly that the exogenous form of JSRV is specifically associated with SPA tumors.
