HCLS1-associated protein X-1 (HAX1) is a newly discovered multifunctional cell regulatory protein that is widely expressed in cells and has a close relationship with multiple cellular proteins. HAX1 plays important roles in various processes, including the regulation of apoptosis, maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential stability and calcium homeostasis, occurrence and development of diseases, post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, and host immune response after viral infection. In this article, we have reviewed the research progress on the biological functions of HAX1, thereby laying a theoretical foundation for further exploration of its underlying mechanisms and targeted application.

In order to study the integration of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) in pigeonpox virus (PPV), we collected suspected pigeonpox disease material, amplified the 4b core protein gene of PPV, the gp90 gene of REV, and the integrated sequence fragments from the end of the ORF201 segment of PPV to the beginning of the LTR of REV, and sequenced these genes. The results showed that a 4b core protein fragment of 332 bp was amplified and identified as pigeonpox virus, which was named SX/TY/LTR 01/2023. Sequence analysis showed that the pigeonpox virus isolate belonged to genotype A2, which was the closest to the domestic CVL strain, with a identity of 99.4%. A band of 1191 bp was amplified from the gp90 gene of REV, named SX/TY/PPV-REV01/2023, and sequence analysis indicated that REV belonged to genotype III. The sequence analysis showed that REV belonged to genotype III, and belonged to the same large branch as the domestic isolates JSRD0701 and LNR0801, with 99.3% identity. The integrated sequence fragment was amplified to a band of 637 bp, which determined that the REV sequence was integrated in the PPV rather than a mixed infection of the two viruses. This indicates that REV was integrated in this isolation of PPV, suggesting that pigeon farms need to prevent reticuloendotheliosis at the same time when preventing pigeonpox.

DENV infection outcomes depend on the host's variable expression of immune receptors and mediators, leading to either resolution or exacerbation. While the NS3 protein is known to induce robust immune responses, the specific impact of its protease region epitopes remains unclear. This study investigated the effect of recombinant NS3 protease region proteins from all four DENV serotypes on splenocyte activation in BALB/c mice (n = 5/group). Mice were immunized with each protein, and their splenocytes were subsequently stimulated with homologous antigens. We measured the expression of costimulatory molecules (CD28, CD80, CD86, CD152) by flow cytometry, along with IL-2 production, CD25 expression, and examined the antigen-specific activation of CD4 + and CD8 + T cells. Additionally, the expression of IL-1, IL-10, and TGF-β1 in splenocytes from immunized animals was assessed. Apoptosis was evaluated using Annexin V/PI staining and DNA fragmentation analysis. Stimulation of splenocytes from immunized mice triggered apoptosis (phosphatidylserine exposure and caspase 3/7 activation) and increased costimulatory molecule expression, particularly CD152. Low IL-2 production and low CD25 expression, as well as sustained expression of the IL-10 gene. These results suggest that these molecules might be involved in mechanisms by which the NS3 protein contributes to viral persistence and disease pathogenesis.

The cotton leafroll dwarf virus (CLDV), an important viral pathogen responsible for substantial losses in cotton crops, has recently emerged in the United States (US). Although CLDV shares similarities with other members of the genus Polerovirus in terms of encoded proteins, their functional characteristics remain largely unexplored. In this study, we expressed and analyzed each protein encoded by CLDV to determine its intracellular localization using fluorescence protein fusion. We also evaluated their potential to induce plant responses, such as the induction of hypersensitive response-like necrosis and the generation of reactive oxygen species. Our findings show that the proteins encoded by CLDV exhibit comparable localization patterns and elicit similar robust plant responses as observed with cognate proteins from other viruses within the genus Polerovirus. This study contributes to our understanding of the functional repertoire of genes carried by Polerovirus members, particularly to CLDV that has recently emerged as a widespread viral pathogen infecting cotton in the US.

Myxoma virus (MYXV) is a double-stranded DNA-containing virus of the family Poxviridae, genus Leporipoxvirus. MYXV is an important model virus for evolutionary and immunological research and a promising oncolytic. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed two complete genomes of MYXV virus vaccine strains B-82 and Rabbivac-B, which are widely used for vaccine production in Russia. Here, we first show that MYXV vaccine strains B-82 and Rabbivac-B share a common origin with the American recombinant MYXV MAV vaccine strain. In addition, our data suggest that the MYXV B-82 and Rabbivac-B strains contain a number of genes at the 5' and 3' ends that are identical to the virulent MYXV Lausanne strain. Several unique genetic signatures were identified in the M013L, M017L, M023, and M121R genes, helping to achieve high genetic resolution between vaccine strains. Overall, these findings highlight the evolutionary flexibility of certain genes in the MYXV genome and provide insights into the molecular epidemiology of the virus and subsequent vaccine development.

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) small envelope protein (E) plays important roles in virus budding, assembly, and release. Our previous study found that PEDV E protein localizes in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to trigger the unfolded protein response (UPR). However, how UPR is directly regulated by PEDV E protein remains elusive. Thus, in this study, we investigated the expression of ER chaperone glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and activations of the three main UPR signaling pathways to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of UPR triggered by PEDV E protein. The results showed that over-expression of PEDV E protein increased expression of GRP78 and induced stronger phosphorylation of both protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK) and eukaryotic initiation factor-2α (eIF2α), as well as caused the significant degradation of activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6), in both dose- and time-dependent manners. However, PEDV E protein did not induce UPR through the inositol-requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1) signaling pathway, as revealed by the splicing of XBP1 remaining unaffected and unchanged when PEDV E protein was overexpressed. Taken together, these results demonstrate that PEDV E protein induces UPR through activation of both PERK and ATF6 pathways rather than IRE1 signaling. This study not only provides mechanistic details of UPR induced by the PEDV E protein, but also provides insights into these new biologic functions to help us better understand the interactions between PEDV and host cells.
猪流行性腹泻病毒(PEDV)小包膜蛋白(E)在病毒萌发、组装和释放过程中发挥着重要作用。我们之前的研究发现,PEDV E 蛋白定位于内质网(ER),触发未折叠蛋白反应(UPR)。然而,PEDV E 蛋白如何直接调控 UPR 仍是一个未知数。因此,在本研究中,我们研究了ER伴侣蛋白葡萄糖调节蛋白78(GRP78)的表达和三种主要UPR信号通路的激活,以阐明PEDV E蛋白触发UPR的内在机制。结果表明,过量表达PEDV E蛋白会增加GRP78的表达,并诱导蛋白激酶RNA样ER激酶(PERK)和真核起始因子-2α(eIF2α)发生更强的磷酸化,同时导致活化转录因子6(ATF6)显著降解,其表达量和降解时间均呈剂量依赖性。然而,PEDV E 蛋白并没有通过肌醇需要酶 1(IRE1)信号通路诱导 UPR,这体现在过量表达 PEDV E 蛋白时,XBP1 的剪接不受影响且没有变化。综上所述,这些结果表明 PEDV E 蛋白是通过激活 PERK 和 ATF6 通路而不是 IRE1 信号通路诱导 UPR 的。这项研究不仅提供了 PEDV E 蛋白诱导 UPR 的机理细节,还为这些新的生物功能提供了见解,帮助我们更好地理解 PEDV 与宿主细胞之间的相互作用。

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a highly contagious disease caused by the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), which results in significant economic losses. PEDV infection causes severe damage to the midgut barrier in the small intestine. YBX3, an important protein in tight junctions, promotes epithelial cell proliferation. However, its role in the process of PEDV infection remains unclear. In this study, we observed a significant increase in mRNA expression of YBX3 following PEDV infection. Additionally, the protein expression of YBX3 showed an initial increase followed by a decrease over time. Furthermore, treatment with 2% DSS resulted in a significant down-regulation of YBX3 mRNA and protein expression. Furthermore, we successfully generated knockout and overexpression cell lines of YBX3. Preliminary assays indicated that elevated expression of YBX3 inhibited the PEDV replication, while knockout of YBX3 had the opposite effect. In conclusion, our study has preliminarily revealed the functional role of YBX3 during PEDV infection. This finding lays the foundation for further investigation into its mechanism in future and also provides new insights into the mechanism of PEDV-host interactions.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs), as epigenetic modifications, are significant in the interaction between virus and its host. However, it is unclear whether rotavirus (RV) causes changes in both the host cell epigenetic protein modification and the regulatory mechanism of viral replication. Here, we analyzed the proteome of Caco-2 cells to determine if acetylation modification occurred within the cells after RV infection. We found that glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), a protein involved in glycolysis, was deacetylated at lysine 219 via histone deacetylase 9 (HDAC9) in 50 h after the RV infection. Remarkably, the deacetylation of GAPDH promoted RV replication. Finally, we found that glycolysis was alterable in Caco-2 cells by RV or the deacetylation of GAPDH lysine 219, using the Seahorse XF Glycolysis Stress Test. In conclusion, our results demonstrate for the first time that RV infection promoted deacetylation of GAPDH at lysine 219 in order to increase its own viral replication in Caco-2 cells.

One of the significant issues in treating bacterial infections is the increasing prevalence of extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Acinetobacter baumannii. In the face of limited or no viable treatment options for extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria, there is a renewed interest in utilizing bacteriophages as a treatment option. Three Acinetobacter phages (vB_AbaS_Ftm, vB_AbaS_Eva, and vB_AbaS_Gln) were identified from hospital sewage and analyzed for their morphology, host ranges, and their genome sequences were determined and annotated. These phages and vB_AbaS_SA1 were combined to form a phage cocktail. The antibacterial effects of this cocktail and its combinations with selected antimicrobial agents were evaluated against the XDR A. baumannii strains. The phages exhibited siphovirus morphology. Out of a total of 30 XDR A. baumannii isolates, 33% were sensitive to vB_AbaS_Ftm, 30% to vB_AbaS_Gln, and 16.66% to vB_AbaS_Eva. When these phages were combined with antibiotics, they demonstrated a synergistic effect. The genome sizes of vB_AbaS_Ftm, vB_AbaS_Eva, and vB_AbaS_Gln were 48487, 50174, and 50043 base pairs (bp), respectively, and showed high similarity. Phage cocktail, when combined with antibiotics, showed synergistic effects on extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of A. baumannii. However, the need for further study to fully understand the mechanisms of action and potential limitations of using these phages is highlighted.

In the face of limited or no viable treatment options for extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria, there is a renewed interest in utilizing bacteriophages as a treatment option. Three <i>Acinetobacter</i> phages (vB_AbaS_Ftm, vB_AbaS_Eva, and vB_AbaS_Gln) were identified from hospital sewage and analyzed for their morphology, host ranges, and their genome sequences were determined and annotated. These phages and vB_AbaS_SA1 were combined to form a phage cocktail. The antibacterial effects of this cocktail and its combinations with selected antimicrobial agents were evaluated against the XDR <i>A. baumannii</i> strains. The phages exhibited <i>siphovirus</i> morphology. Out of a total of 30 XDR <i>A. baumannii</i> isolates, 33% were sensitive to vB_AbaS_Ftm, 30% to vB_AbaS_Gln, and 16.66% to vB_AbaS_Eva.
