TLDR
Reovirus interaction with cell-surface receptors is a critical determinant of both cell-type specific tropism and virus-induced intracellular signaling events that culminate in cell death.

The tight junction: a multifunctional complex.

TL;DR: A group of integral membrane proteins-occludin, claudins, and junction adhesion molecules-interact with an increasingly complex array of tight junction plaque proteins not only to regulate paracellular solute and water flux but also to integrate such diverse processes as gene transcription, tumor suppression, cell proliferation, and cell polarity.

Claudin-1 is a hepatitis C virus co-receptor required for a late step in entry.

TL;DR: Using an iterative expression cloning approach, claudin-1 (CLDN1), a tight junction component that is highly expressed in the liver, is identified as essential for HCV entry and a new target for antiviral drug development.

Endothelial Cell-to-Cell Junctions: Molecular Organization and Role in Vascular Homeostasis

TL;DR: How the molecular architectures and interactions may represent a mechanistic basis for the function and regulation of junctions, focusing on junction assembly and permeability regulation, is emphasized.

Tight junction proteins.

TL;DR: Advances in the knowledge of the molecular structure of TJ support previous physiological models that exhibited TJ as dynamic structures that present distinct permeability and morphological characteristics in different tissues and in response to changing natural, pathological or experimental conditions.

Genetic basis for altered pathogenesis of an immune-selected antigenic variant of reovirus type 3 (Dearing).

TL;DR: It is indicated that a single amino acid change in the T3 hemagglutinin can alter viral growth and tropism within the central nervous system without affecting either its primary replication in the intestine or its pattern of spread to or within thecentral nervous system.

Control of apoptosis

TL;DR: A method for inhibiting the expression of a selected apoptosis-related gene in a cell, where sites in the selected gene or nucleic acid binding moiety that binds with associated site and the gene are present.

Regulation of Apoptosis

TL;DR: It is found that addition of weel directly to the Xenopus egg extract accelerates apoptosis and is the first study to implicate a pro-apoptotic signaling capacity for the weel tyrosine kinase.

Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA).

TL;DR: Identifying the transcription factors required for the expression of a specific gene can provide a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved and suggest new therapies which may specifically target an individual gene or set of genes.

Analysis of functional domains on reovirus cell attachment protein σ1 using cloned s1 gene deletion mutants

TL;DR: It was found that mutant sigma 1 forms with segment III or segment IV deleted did not exhibit any detectable L-cell binding activity, whereas mutants with these two segments intact were capable of attaching to L- cell receptors, albeit with reduced efficiencies, which clearly suggest that the host cell binding domain of s Sigma 1 is distinct from its hemagglutination domain.
