Article Abstract
Envelope phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEtr) have been shown to mediate binding of enveloped viruses. However, commonly used PtdSer binding molecules such as Annexin V cannot block PtdSer-mediated viral infection. Lack of reagents that can conceal envelope PtdSer and PtdEtr and subsequently inhibit infection hinders elucidation of the roles of the envelope phospholipids in viral infection. Here, we developed sTIM1dMLDR801, a reagent capable of blocking PtdSer- and PtdEtr-dependent infection of enveloped viruses. Using sTIM1dMLDR801, we found that envelope PtdSer and/or PtdEtr can support ZIKV infection of not only human but also mosquito cells. In a mouse model for ZIKV infection, sTIM1dMLDR801 reduced ZIKV load in serum and the spleen, indicating envelope PtdSer and/or PtdEtr support in viral infection in vivo. sTIM1dMLDR801 will enable elucidation of the roles of envelope PtdSer and PtdEtr in infection of various virus species, thereby facilitating identification of their receptors and transmission mechanisms.

Unlabelled: Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) causes fatal tick-borne disease in humans and is a priority pathogen of the World Health Organization. No licensed vaccines or specific antiviral drugs are available. To understand the cell entry of CCHFV and identify potential antiviral targets to combat the disease, here, we perform the CRISPR knockout screen in wild-type cells, followed by a complementary CRISPR activation screen in cells deficient in common attachment factors (heparan sulfate, AXL, TIM-1).

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is an anionic phospholipid that is usually localized in the inner leaflets of the plasma membrane. However, the enzyme scramblase catalyzes the externalization of PS on the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane during apoptosis or cellular stress. This event prompts the recognition of PS displaying cells by phagocytes leading to "apoptotic clearance.

Background: Considering the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in prevalent human fungal pathogen, Candida albicans, there is parallel spurt in the development of novel strategies aimed to disrupt MDR. The cell envelope of C. albicans comprises a wealth of lipid moieties contributing towards long-term survival of pathogen that could be exploited as efficient antifungal target owing to the advancements made in mass spectrometry based lipidomics technology.

Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) is usually present only in the inner leaf of the lipid bilayers of the cell membrane, but is exposed on the outer leaf when cells are activated and/or die. Exposure of PtdSer has physiological functions. For example, the PtdSer exposed on dead cells can serve as "eat-me signals" for phagocytes to clear dead cells by phagocytosis, which prevents autoimmune reactions and inflammation.
