The alphaherpesvirus conserved pUS10 is important for natural infection and its expression is regulated by the conserved Herpesviridae protein kinase (CHPK)

N. Ponnuraj, H. Akbar, J. V. Arrington, S. J. Spatz, B. Nagarajan, U. R. Desai, K. W. Jarosinski

The study shows CHPK is essential for pUS10 expression during natural infection in chickens, and pUS10 is important for disease induction.

Preferential recognition and antagonism of SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein binding to 3-O-sulfated heparan sulfate

V. Tiwari, R. Tandon, N. V. Sankaranarayanan, J. C. Beer, E. K. Kohlmeir, M. Swanson-Mungerson, U. R. Desai

This study shows 3-O-sulfated heparan sulfate enhances SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-mediated cell fusion, which can be blocked by a synthetic small molecule.
