Article Abstract
In mice persistently infected since birth with the prototypic arenavirus lymphocytic choriomeningitis viurs, viral antigen and RNA are readily detected in most organs and cell types but remarkably absent in skeletal muscle. Here we report that mouse C2C12 myoblasts that are readily infected by LCMV, become highly refractory to LCMV infection upon their differentiation into myotubes. Myotube's resistance to LCMV was not due to an intracellular restriction of virus replication but rather an impaired cell entry mediated by the LCMV surface glycoprotein. Our findings provide an explanation for the observation that in LCMV carrier mice myotubes, which are constantly exposed to blood-containing virus, remain free of viral antigen and RNA despite myotubes express high levels of the LCMV receptor alpha dystroglycan and do not pose an intracellular blockade to LCMV multiplication.

Bacterial persisters are a subpopulation of cells that exhibit a transient non-susceptible phenotype in the presence of bactericidal antibiotic concentrations. This phenotype can lead to the survival and regrowth of bacteria after treatment, resulting in relapse of infections. It is also a contributing factor to antibacterial resistance.

Apicomplexan AP2 (ApiAP2) family proteins are a family of transcription factors that are known to regulate gene expression in apicomplexan pathogens, including . In this study, we focused on TgAP2X-7, a member of the APiAP2 family that is predicted to be essential for fitness. Endogenous tagging of TgAP2X-7 followed by immunofluorescence analysis revealed that it's a cell cycle-regulated nuclear protein with peak expression in the G1 phase.

Modulating cell endocytosis activity to reduce host susceptibility to virus represents a promising strategy for antiviral drug development. In this study, we reveal that lactate transporter SLC16A3 is a critical host factor for reducing diverse virus invasion. By performing metabolomics, proteomics, and thermal proteome profiling experiments, AP1G1, a pivotal protein involved in cellular endocytosis, was indiscriminately screened as a chaperone of SLC16A3.

Background: Ischemic stroke (IS), the leading stroke subtype (∼87%), arises from vascular occlusions, triggering brain necrosis through ischemia-reperfusion injury. Ferroptosis, an iron-driven cell death via Fe-mediated lipid peroxidation, is implicated in IS pathology. This study demonstrates that enoyl-coA hydrolase 1 (ECH1) may serve as a peripheral biomarker and therapeutic target for IS based on ferroptosis signaling.

Nanomaterials often need to interact with proteins on the plasma membrane to get cross and access their intracellular targets. Therefore, to fully understand the cell entry mechanism, it is of vital importance to gain a comprehensive insight into the proteome at the interface when nanomaterials encounter the cells. Here, we reported a peroxidase-based proximity labeling method to survey the proteome at the nanoparticle (NP)-cell interface.
