Moreover, this finding underscores IPO7’s essential function in the flavivirus life cycle, specifically in the later stages of viral particle assembly and release. The study’s findings suggest that ...

The flavivirus family includes a number of dangerous insect-borne diseases such as dengue, West Nile, yellow fever, tick-borne encephalitis and St. Louis encephalitis.

A study published in PLoS Pathogens has now identified a protein named importin-7 (IPO7), as a carrier that transports flavivirus core protein through the nuclear membrane and into the nucleus.

Researchers from The University of Queensland and Monash University have now determined the first complete 3D molecular structure of the immature flavivirus, revealing an unexpected organization.

Recent research, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry and conducted at Colorado State University (CO, USA), suggests that in-depth analysis of the flavivirus protein ns3 helicase, an ...

Whether existing antibodies to dengue could enhance infection by another flavivirus, Zika, in humans remains an open question. However, researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in ...

Structure of the flavivirus-neutralizing antibodies. Image taken from the article Using the deep mutational scanning library of the Zika virus E protein, the team found that “broad antibodies [EDE1 ...

It’s the most zoomed-in image that scientists have gotten of any flavivirus, the family of viruses that includes Zika, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile and Japanese encephalitis viruses, among ...
