Microtubules (MT) and actin microfilaments are dynamic cytoskeleton components involved
in a range of intracellular processes. MTs play a role in cell division, beating of cilia and …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) relies on the core protein (HBc) to establish productive infection, as
defined by the formation of the covalently closed circularized DNA (cccDNA), as well as to …

Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a host cell receptor required for
hepatitis B virus (HBV) entry. However, the susceptibility of NTCP-expressing cells to HBV is …

Sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) is expressed at the surface of
human hepatocytes and functions as an entry receptor of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Recently …

Similar to other mammalian viruses, the life cycle of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is heavily
dependent upon and regulated by cellular (host) functions. These cellular functions can be …

Cargo trafficking along microtubules is exploited by eukaryotic viruses, but no such
examples have been reported in bacteria. Several large Pseudomonas phages assemble a …

Macaque restricts hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection because its receptor homologue, NTCP
(mNTCP), cannot bind preS1 on viral surface. To reveal how mNTCP loses the viral receptor …

Introduction Human parvulin peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerases PIN1 and PIN4 play
important roles in cell cycle progression, DNA binding, protein folding and chromatin …

Abstract Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus belonging to the
Hepadnaviridae family that has limited tissue and species specificity. Due to the persistence …

Phage–host interactions are critical to ecology, evolution, and biotechnology. Central to
those is infection efficiency, which remains poorly understood, particularly in nature. Here …
