Journal article Nat Rev Immunol · December 2025 During pregnancy, the maternal immune system must navigate a balance between fetal tolerance and a response to acquired microbial infections. Cells at the maternal-fetal interface coordinate this response throughout gestational stages in a dynamic manner, ... Full text Link to item Cite

DUX4-stimulated genes define an antiviral defense program in human placental trophoblasts.

Journal article J Exp Med · December 1, 2025 The placenta combats mother-to-fetus transmission of viruses through the antiviral activities of fetal-derived trophoblasts. Placental trophoblasts employ specialized antiviral strategies to protect against infection while preventing maternal immune reject ... Full text Link to item Cite

Monitoring cell fate in 3D organotypic human squamous epithelial cultures.

Journal article STAR protocols · March 2023 Here, we provide a protocol to model the effects of changes to a small number of cells, such as those arising from a mutation or a virus infection, in stratified epithelia. We describe steps for diluting engineered human keratinocytes into a larger populat ... Full text Cite

Phosphomimetic S207D Lysyl-tRNA Synthetase Binds HIV-1 5'UTR in an Open Conformation and Increases RNA Dynamics.

Journal article Viruses · July 2022 Interactions between lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS) and HIV-1 Gag facilitate selective packaging of the HIV-1 reverse transcription primer, tRNALys3. During HIV-1 infection, LysRS is phosphorylated at S207, released from a multi-aminoacyl-tRNA sy ... Full text Cite

YAP1 activation by human papillomavirus E7 promotes basal cell identity in squamous epithelia.

Journal article eLife · February 2022 Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of stratified squamous epithelial cells causes nearly 5% of cancer cases worldwide. HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers harbor few mutations in the Hippo signaling pathway compared to HPV-negative cancers at t ... Full text Cite

Zika virus employs the host antiviral RNase L protein to support replication factory assembly.

Journal article Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · June 2021 Infection with the flavivirus Zika virus (ZIKV) can result in tissue tropism, disease outcome, and route of transmission distinct from those of other flaviviruses; therefore, we aimed to identify host machinery that exclusively promotes the ZIKV replicatio ...

A Conserved Amino Acid in the C Terminus of Human Papillomavirus E7 Mediates Binding to PTPN14 and Repression of Epithelial Differentiation.

Journal article Journal of virology · August 2020 The human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 oncoprotein is a primary driver of HPV-mediated carcinogenesis. The E7 proteins from diverse HPVs bind to the host cellular nonreceptor protein tyrosine phosphatase type 14 (PTPN14) and direct it for degradation through th ... Full text Cite

PTPN14 degradation by high-risk human papillomavirus E7 limits keratinocyte differentiation and contributes to HPV-mediated oncogenesis.

Journal article Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America · April 2019 High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 proteins enable oncogenic transformation of HPV-infected cells by inactivating host cellular proteins. High-risk but not low-risk HPV E7 target PTPN14 for proteolytic degradation, suggesting that PTPN14 degradation m ... Full text Cite

Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 Gag domains have distinct RNA-binding specificities with implications for RNA packaging and dimerization.

Journal article The Journal of biological chemistry · October 2018 Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the first retrovirus that has conclusively been shown to cause human diseases. In HIV-1, specific interactions between the nucleocapsid (NC) domain of the Gag protein and genomic RNA (gRNA) mediate gRNA dimeri ... Full text Cite

HIV-1 Exploits a Dynamic Multi-aminoacyl-tRNA Synthetase Complex To Enhance Viral Replication.

Journal article Journal of virology · November 2017 A hallmark of retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is reverse transcription of genomic RNA to DNA, a process that is primed by cellular tRNAs. HIV-1 recruits human tRNALys3 to serve as the reverse transcription primer ... Full text Cite

RiboCAT: a new capillary electrophoresis data analysis tool for nucleic acid probing.

Journal article RNA (New York, N.Y.) · February 2017 Chemical and enzymatic probing of RNA secondary structure and RNA/protein interactions provides the basis for understanding the functions of structured RNAs. However, the ability to rapidly perform such experiments using capillary electrophoresis has been ... Full text Cite
