Toxoplasma gondii that lacks the kinase ERK7 cannot invade or egress from their host cells, thereby blocking their replicative cycle. These defects are due to the loss of a specialized cilium-like structure called the conoid. Strikingly, the ultrastructural changes are specific to the conoid, and suggest an important role for ERK7 in its biogenesis.

Resumen Antecedentes: El virus del mosaico de la caña de azúcar, SCMV (Potyviridae) es un miembro de la gran familia de virus de ARN de cadena positiva, sin una estructura CAP en su extremo 5´no traducido (5`UTR), pero con una proteína viral unida al genoma (VPg) y una cola poli A en su extremo 3´UTR. Se ha sugerido que proteínas del hospedero hacen un puente entre las regiones no traducidas virales 5´y 3´ para potenciar la traducción viral. Dado que las regiones no traducidas presentes en los genomas virales contienen elementos involucrados en la regulación de su ciclo replicativo, es importante analizar la interacción entre estas regiones y las proteínas virales o del hospedero para inferir su función. Objetivo: Determinar si existen proteínas del hospedero maíz que pudieran estar interactuando con la región 5´UTR de SCMV. Metodología: La región 5´UTR de SCMV se amplificó por PCR incluyendo la secuencia del promotor T7 en la secuencia del oligo 5´ UTR y se generaron sus transcritos marcados radiactivamente. Los transcritos marcados fueron entrecruzados con extractos proteicos de hojas de maíz sanas e infectadas. Resultados: Los resultados sugieren la presencia de una proteína putativa de interacción del hospedante maíz de aproximadamente 53kDa, con la región 5´UTR de SCMV. Conclusión: Los ensayos de entrecruzamiento, especificidad y estabilidad de los complejos ARN-proteína sugieren que en el hospedante maíz existe al menos una proteína que interactúa con la región 5´ UTR de SCMV.Palabras Clave: Complejo ARN-proteína, entrecruzamiento UV, fracción proteica, Potyvirus, VPg.Abstract Background: Sugarcane mosaic virus is a member of the great family of positive sense RNA viruses, without a CAP structure in its 5´UTR end, but with a viral protein attached to the genome (VPg) and a poli A tail in its 3´UTR end. It has been suggested that some host proteins make a bridge between the untranslated 5´and 3´ regions (UTRs) to enhance the canonical and/or non-canonical virus translation. Since the UTR regions present in the viral genomes have some elements involved in the regulation of their replicative cycle, it is important to analyze the interaction that may occur between these regions and the viral or host proteins to infer regarding its function. Objective: To identify proteins of the host maize that could be interacting with the 5´UTR region of SCMV. Methodology: 5´UTR region of SCMV was amplified by PCR including the sequence of the T7 promoter in the 5´oligo sequence. The transcripts were radioactively labeled. Labeled transcripts were crosslinked with proteins extracts from healthy and infected maize leaves. Results: The results suggest the presence of a 53 kDa putative protein interacting with the 5 ´UTR region of SCMV. Conclusion: Crosslinking essays, specificity and the stability of the RNA-protein complex suggest that in maize host there is at least one protein that interacts with the 5´UTR region of SCMV.Keywords: RNA-Protein complex, UV crosslinking, protein fraction, Potyvirus, VPg

AbstractInfections caused by HSV-2 are a public health concern worldwide, and there is still a great demand for the discovery of novel anti-herpes virus agents effective against strains resistant to current antiviral agents. In this context, medicinal plants represent an alternative source of active compounds for developing efficient antiviral therapies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiviral activity of Arisaema tortuosum, a plant used in the traditional medicine of India. A chloroform soluble fraction of the leaves exhibited anti-HSV-2 activity with a selectivity index of 758. The extract was also active against acyclovir-resistant HSV-2 and HSV-1. The mechanism of action of the extract was investigated evidencing inhibition of both early and late events of the HSV-2 replicative cycle. A HPLC-PDA-MS/MS analysis showed the presence of flavonoids including apigenin and luteolin in the chloroform extract (CE). Apigenin and luteolin showed a high inhibitory activity with EC50 values of 0.05 and 0.41 µg/mL, respectively. Both compounds exhibited antiviral activity when added up to 6 h post infection and were able to reduce the viral progeny production. In addition, apigenin interfered with cell-to-cell virus spread.

Abstract The water extract from the red marine alga Polysiphonia denudata (Dillwyn) Kütz. from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast selectively inhibited the reproduction of herpes virus type 1 and type 2 in cell cultures (EC50 = 8.7 to 47.7 mg/ml) as shown by the reduction of virusinduced cytopathic effect and viral infectivity. The virus-inhibitory effect was dose-related, strain-specific and depended on virus inoculum. The inhibition affected adsorption as well as the intracellular stages of viral replication. The presence of the extract throughout the whole replicative cycle was necessary for the full expression of the antiviral effect. In higher concentrations (MIC90 = 6.5 mg/ml) the extract exhibited strong extracellular virus inactivating activity.
