A search for analogues of the human SAMD9/9L antiviral genes identifies convergent evolution of this gene family in the bacterial and animal kingdoms, with species-specific and recent genomic signatur...

Teaser: My group is interested in understanding the mechanisms that govern functional specificity within the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT) pathway, a cellular machinery that...

Zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) binds CpG dinucleotides in viral RNA and targets them for decay. ZAP interacts with several cofactors to form the ZAP antiviral system, including KHNYN, a multidoma...

The receptor-binding domain, region II, of the Plasmodium vivax Duffy binding protein (PvDBPII), which binds the Duffy antigen receptor (DARC) during reticulocyte invasion by P. vivax is a leading blo...
