Structural dynamics and immunogenicity of the recombinant and outer membrane vesicle-embedded Meningococcal antigen NadA

V. Calvaresi, L. Dello Iacono, S. Borghi, E. Luzzi, A. Biolchi, B. Benucci, I. Ferlenghi, I. Peschiera, F. Giusti, L. E. Fontana, Z.-Y. Kan, Z. Spinello, M. Merola, I. Delany, K. D. Rand, N. Norais

This study compares the structural dynamics and immunogenicity of recombinant NadA and OMV-embedded NadA, showing that the native form elicits stronger immune responses.

The human cytomegalovirus UL116 glycoprotein is a chaperone to control gH-based complexes levels on virions

G. Vezzani, D. Amendola, D. Yu, S. Chandramouli, E. Frigimelica, D. Maione, M. Merola

This study shows that UL116 acts as a chaperone for gH, regulating the levels of gH-based complexes in HCMV virions and affecting infectivity.

The human cytomegalovirus protein UL116 interacts with the viral ER resident glycoprotein UL148 and promotes the incorporation of gH/gL complexes into virions

M. N. A. Siddiquey, E. P. Schultz, Q. Yu, D. Amendola, G. Vezzani, d. yu, D. Maione, J.-M. Lanchy, B. J. Ryckman, M. Merola, J. P. Kamil

This study identifies UL116 as a chaperone for gH that promotes gH/gL complex expression and virion incorporation, interacting with UL148 to support viral entry mechanisms.
