Regulatory elements of hepatitis B virus transcription

TL;DR: This review outlines the major HBV transcription regulatory elements and highlights the reliance of accurate HBV gene modulation on the complex interplay between several trans‐acting factors and their corresponding cis‐ motifs in the viral genome.
Journal ArticleDOI

The rare TXNRD1_v3 ("v3") splice variant of human thioredoxin reductase 1 protein is targeted to membrane rafts by N-acylation and induces filopodia independently of its redox active site integrity.

TL;DR: The results identify v3 as an intricately regulated protein that expands TXNRD1-derived protein functions to the membrane raft compartment, and imply that v3, shown to be targeted to membrane rafts, may be involved in signaling events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thioredoxin (Trx1) regulates CD4 membrane domain localization and is required for efficient CD4-dependent HIV-1 entry.

TL;DR: Changes in the extracellular redox environment may represent a signal for translocation of CD4 into DRM clusters, and this sequestration is another potential mechanism by which the anti-HIV effects of cell surface oxidoreductase inhibition are exerted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tanapox, South Africa, 2022

TL;DR: Tanapox is a rarely diagnosed zoonosis known to be endemic to equatorial Africa and all previously reported human cases were acquired within 10° north or south of the Equator, most recently 19 years ago as mentioned in this paper .
