The most common high-risk genotype, HPV16, is an obligatory intracellular virus that must gain entry into host epithelial cells and deliver its double stranded DNA to the nucleus. HPV capsid proteins play a vital role in these steps. Despite the critical nature of these capsid protein-host cell interactions, the precise cellular components necessary for HPV16 infection of epithelial cells remains unknown. Several neutralizing epitopes have been identified for the HPV16 L2 minor capsid protein that can inhibit infection after initial attachment of the virus to the cell surface, which suggests an L2-specific secondary receptor or cofactor is required for infection, but so far no specific L2-receptor has been identified. Here, we demonstrate that the annexin A2 heterotetramer (A2t) contributes to HPV16 infection and co- immunoprecipitates with HPV16 particles on the surface of epithelial cells in an L2-dependent manner.

  • Abl Family Tyrosine Kinases Govern Igg Extravasation in the Skin in a Murine Pemphigus Model
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12232-3 OPEN Abl family tyrosine kinases govern IgG extravasation in the skin in a murine pemphigus model Sachiko Ono1, Gyohei Egawa1, Takashi Nomura1, Akihiko Kitoh1, Teruki Dainichi 1, Atsushi Otsuka1, Saeko Nakajima1, Masayuki Amagai2, Fumi Matsumoto3, Mami Yamamoto 3, Yoshiaki Kubota4, Toshiyuki Takai5, Tetsuya Honda1 & Kenji Kabashima 1,6 1234567890():,; The pathway of homeostatic IgG extravasation is not fully understood, in spite of its importance for the maintenance of host immunity, the management of autoantibody- mediated disorders, and the use of antibody-based biologics. Here we show in a murine model of pemphigus, a prototypic cutaneous autoantibody-mediated disorder, that blood- circulating IgG extravasates into the skin in a time- and dose-dependent manner under homeostatic conditions. This IgG extravasation is unaffected by depletion of Fcγ receptors, but is largely attenuated by specific ablation of dynamin-dependent endocytic vesicle for- mation in blood endothelial cells (BECs). Among dynamin-dependent endocytic vesicles, IgG co-localizes well with caveolae in cultured BECs. An Abl family tyrosine kinase inhibitor imatinib, which reduces caveolae-mediated endocytosis, impairs IgG extravasation in the skin and attenuates the murine pemphigus manifestations. Our study highlights the kinetics of IgG extravasation in vivo, which might be a clue to understand the pathological mechanism of autoantibody-mediated autoimmune disorders. 1 Department of Dermatology, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan. 2 Department of Dermatology, Keio University Graduate School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan. 3 Research Unit/Immunology & Inflammation, Sohyaku, Innovative Research Division, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Yokohama, Japan. 4 Department of Anatomy, Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.

Thus, factors that affect RME have a largely unknown. Intriguingly, we found that the dynamin (DNM) direct effect on these receptors, and, in the case of LDLR, to regulate genes, a GTPase family of proteins responsible for endocytosis in intracellular cholesterol levels. In both the LDLR and TfR eukaryotic cells, encode the conserved miR-199a and miR-199b internalization processes, clathrin plays a key role during the family of miRNAs within their intronic sequences. Here, we formation of coated vesicles (Moore et al., 1987).

  • Identification of Eqtls and Sqtls Associated with Meat Quality in Beef Joel D
    Leal-Gutiérrez et al. BMC Genomics (2020) 21:104 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-020-6520-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Identification of eQTLs and sQTLs associated with meat quality in beef Joel D. Leal-Gutiérrez*, Mauricio A. Elzo and Raluca G. Mateescu Abstract Background: Transcription has a substantial genetic control and genetic dissection of gene expression could help us understand the genetic architecture of complex phenotypes such as meat quality in cattle. The objectives of the present research were: 1) to perform eQTL and sQTL mapping analyses for meat quality traits in longissimus dorsi muscle; 2) to uncover genes whose expression is influenced by local or distant genetic variation; 3) to identify expression and splicing hot spots; and 4) to uncover genomic regions affecting the expression of multiple genes. Results: Eighty steers were selected for phenotyping, genotyping and RNA-seq evaluation. A panel of traits related to meat quality was recorded in longissimus dorsi muscle. Information on 112,042 SNPs and expression data on 8588 autosomal genes and 87,770 exons from 8467 genes were included in an expression and splicing quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping (eQTL and sQTL, respectively). A gene, exon and isoform differential expression analysis previously carried out in this population identified 1352 genes, referred to as DEG, as explaining part of the variability associated with meat quality traits. The eQTL and sQTL mapping was performed using a linear regression model in the R package Matrix eQTL. Genotype and year of birth were included as fixed effects, and population structure was accounted for by including as a covariate the first PC from a PCA analysis on genotypic data.
