Multistep receptor binding of the hepatitis B virus preS1 domain

The hepatitis B virus surface protein recognizes host entry receptor via its intrinsically disordered peptide. The authors reveal the dynamic process of the viral surface protein that involves a stepwise binding maturation for establishing high affinity and specific virus-receptor entry complex.

Evasion of antiviral bacterial immunity by phage tRNAs

Retrons are bacterial genetic elements that, in combination with toxic effector proteins, can serve as antiphage defense systems. Here, the authors show that some phages can evade retrons and other defense systems by expressing specific tRNAs.

HBV research moves forward—receptors and reactivation

Since the discovery of HBV in the 1960s, its life cycle and the natural history of infection have been delineated by many studies. In 2014, new findings concerning the host–virus interaction and new studies of HBV reactivation from occult HBV infection are of considerable interest.

Phage engineering to overcome bacterial Tmn immunity in Dhillonvirus

Two distinct phage engineering strategies—mutating phage genes targeted by bacterial anti-phage systems and arming phages with genes that counteract these systems—have enabled the circumvention of bacterial anti-phage defenses.

Synthetic phage-based approach for sensitive and specific detection of Escherichia coli O157

Efficient phage synthesis yields O157 antigen-specific phages with the detection tag at optimal sites, enabling specific detection of diverse E. coli O157 clinical isolates and suggesting broad applications in bacterial detection and phage therapy.
