Identification of Human Transferrin Receptor as an Entry Co-receptor for Parvovirus B19 Infection of Human Erythroid Progenitor Cells

Shane McFarlin, Kang Ning, Xiujuan Zhang, Çağla Aksu Küz, Wei Zou, Fang Cheng, Steve B. Kleiboeker, Mario Mietzsch, Jianming Qiu

This study identifies human transferrin receptor 1 (hTfR) as a co-receptor for parvovirus B19 (B19V) entry into erythroid progenitor cells, showing that hTfR binding to the viral VP1u protein is critical for viral internalization and replication.

AAV VP1 unique region (VP1u) determines GPR108 dependence for AAV transduction of human airway epithelium and its rescue by Doxorubicin

Siyuan Hao, Ariful Habib, Xiujuan Zhang, Kang Ning, Soo Yuen Park, Shane McFarlin, Çağla Aksu Küz, Donovan Richart, Fang Cheng, Ziying Yan, Jianming Qiu

This study identifies that the AAV2.5T capsid's VP1u region depends on GPR108 for transduction of human airway epithelium, and that doxorubicin enhances transduction by improving nuclear import.

Gut microbiome of an unindustrialized population have characteristic enrichment of SNPs in species and functions with the succession of seasons

Jiyue Qin, Chongyang Tan, Kang Ning

The paper analyzes seasonal SNP patterns in the Hadza gut microbiome, finding that SNP enrichments are independent of species abundance and reveal genomic adaptations to seasonal environmental changes.
