A virus is a particle containing nucleic acids and proteins packed within the coat protein shell. Viruses proliferate, exploiting the metabolic system of the host cells. It has its own genome, either DNA or RNA. Viruses have characteristics intermediate between living system and non-living systems...
What is the role of viruses and fungi in CRC progression? What is the role of the oral microbiome in colorectal cancer? How can meta-omics data be integrated into microbiome–CRC studies? How can we gear in silico models toward predicting personalized treatment strategies that include prebiotics...
How do bacteria protect themselves from the attack of viruses? Name the structural components common to viruses and describe the function of each. Describe at least three structural characteristics that contribute to the high diversity in types of animal viruses an...
susceptibility, while a negative association has been reported with SNPs in the tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) protein-encoding genesTRIM5andTRIM22. Factors affecting HERV transcription include immune activation and inflammation, since HERV promoter regions possess binding sites for related transcription ...
Research HIV and H1N1 viruses. Why do you think the HIV virus is a successful parasite? Swine virus X infection shuts down host CBP (cap-binding protein) activity. Describe in detail the possible molecular consequence(s) for host cells infected with this virus. ...

A reduction in cardiolipin synthesis was shown to reduce NLRP3 inflammasome activation [41]. Comparatively, the requirement for both MAVS and mitofusin-2 was specific to NLRP3 activation by RNA viruses [42, 43]. This localization to MAVS is dependent on the N-terminus of NLRP3 and is ...
This approach involves generating viral libraries containing all mutations to the protein of interest, selecting these viruses with or without antibody, and using an accurate deep-sequencing method to determine the relative frequencies of each mutation. These frequencies can be analyzed to calculate the...
COX-2can be found in lots of normal tissues, but much more of it is made in tissue that has been damaged in some way. Aspirin, it turns out, sticks to COX-2 and won't let it do its job; it's like a lock you put on yourbicycle. The bicycle won't move with the lock on, ...
Why do cells use RNA in protein synthesis, rather than translate directly from DNA? How does DNA control the structure of proteins? Why do viruses have both RNA and DNA? How is polycistronic messenger RNA transcribed? Why is RNA a single strand?
