Stress proteins (SPs) including heat-shock proteins (HSPs), RNA chaperones, and ER
associated stress proteins are molecular chaperones essential for cellular homeostasis. The …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are constitutively expressed under physiological conditions in
most organisms but their expression can significantly enhance in response to four types of …

Hepadnaviruses, including human hepatitis B virus (HBV), replicate through reverse
transcription of an RNA intermediate, the pregenomic RNA (pgRNA). Despite this kinship to …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major human pathogen that chronically infects≈ 350 million
people, causing liver disease and liver cancer. HBV virions bud into an endoplasmic …

Monkeypox virus (MPV) is a smallpox‐like virus belonging to the genus Orthopoxvirus of the
family Poxviridae. Unlike smallpox with no animal reservoir identified and patients suffering …

In this work, we have identified the heat shock cognate protein (hsc70) as a receptor
candidate for rotaviruses. hsc70 was shown to be present on the surface of MA104 cells …

The initiation of reverse transcription and nucleocapsid assembly in hepatitis B virus (HBV)
depends on the specific recognition of an RNA signal (the packaging signal, ε) on the …

We have demonstrated previously that the core protein of hepatitis C virus (HCV) exhibits
suppression activity on gene expression and replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Here we …

Most biological systems have developed complex mechanisms to maintain the stability of
their genetic information. Exceptions to this include viruses that can undergo rapid and …

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of cellular proteins that are induced during stress
conditions such as heat stress, cold shock, UV irradiation and even pathogenic insult. They …
