Evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 S protein undergoes a conformational change at the Golgi Complex that leads to the formation of virus neutralising antibody binding epitopes in the S1 protein subunit.

R. J. Sugrue, B. H. Tan, S. K. Lai, C. E.-Z. Chan, Y. Wu

The study shows that SARS-CoV-2 S protein undergoes a conformational change at the Golgi complex, forming epitopes recognized by virus-neutralizing antibodies in the S1 subunit.

Erythrocyte signalling is critical for Plasmodium falciparum invasion

J. J. M. Yong, X. Gao, P. Prakash, S. K. Lai, M. W. Chen, J. J. L. Neo, J. Lescar, H. Y. Li, P. R. Preiser

This study shows that Plasmodium falciparum merozoite invasion depends on host cAMP-Ca2+ signalling, with RH5-Basigin interaction triggering cAMP rise and Ca2+ influx.
