Scaling Phage-Bacteria Interaction Contexts: From Pairwise Mechanisms to Community Dynamics
Bacteriophages (phages), viruses that parasitize bacteria, hold tremendous potential as antimicrobial agents, microbiome modulators, and industrial biocontrol tools; yet clinical and environmental applications remain frustratingly incons...

A Historical Account of Retroviral Assembly and Budding
This historical review, written in the year the first-in-class drug targeting the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) capsid protein was approved by the Food and Drug Administration, focuses on a significant piece of insight prov...

Functional and Structural Studies of Alphavirus-Receptor Interactions
Alphaviruses are mosquito-borne viruses that can cause disease in humans and animals. Alphaviruses bind to proteinaceous receptors found on the surface of host cells in the first step of the virus life cycle. Multiple studies have reveal...

SAMD9/9L Innate Immunity: Antiviral Mechanisms and Evolutionary Trade-Offs of Multidomain Proteins
Sterile alpha motif domain-containing 9 and 9-like (SAMD9/9L) are large multidomain proteins with antiviral innate immune and cellular homeostasis functions. Initially characterized as tumor suppressors, they are now also recognized as a...

Phages Targeting Flagella: Adsorption and Infection Mechanisms of Flagellotropic Phages
Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that exclusively infect bacteria. They adsorb to their hosts through binding to cell receptors including flagella, pili, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Adsorption is a two-step process, with reversible a...

Plant Viruses That Should Scare Us
A guilty pleasure of ours is having coffee on a Saturday morning with a friend at a neighborhood cafe where the chocolate croissants are divine and the pace of the day is unhurried. We linger longer than intended, cups refilled, as our c...

Dengue Virus Evasion of Host Innate Immunity
Infection with dengue virus (DENV) is a major global public health threat, driven by mosquito transmission of four closely related virus serotypes. For effective transmission between hosts, DENV rapidly remodels the host cell to overcome...

The Orthohantavirus GN/GC Spikes: Molecular Determinants of Infection and Targets for Antiviral Immune Interventions
Orthohantaviruses are globally distributed, rodent-borne RNA viruses associated with severe and often lethal disease in humans. The documented person-to-person transmission of Andes virus, endemic in South America, underscores their pand...

The Evolution of Dengue Virus in India
The evolution of dengue virus (DENV) is highly modulated by pathogen transmission bottlenecks and immunological pressures. These evolutionary events lead to mutations that cause antigenic changes and the replacement of DENV genotypes, wh...
