SARS-CoV-2-neutralizing humoral IgA response occurs earlier but modest and diminishes faster compared to IgG response.

Y. Takamatsu, K. Omata, Y. Shimizu, N. Kinoshita-Iwamoto, M. Terada, T. Suzuki, S. Morioka, Y. Uemura, N. Ohmagari, K. Maeda, H. Mitsuya

This study compares the neutralizing activity of IgA and IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 patients and vaccine recipients, finding that IgA response is modest, peaks earlier, and declines faster than IgG.

Structural insight into Marburg virus nucleoprotein-RNA complex formation

Y. Fujita-Fujiharu, Y. Sugita, Y. Takamatsu, K. Houri, M. Igarashi, Y. Muramoto, M. Nakano, Y. Tsunoda, S. Becker, T. Noda

This study determines the structure of the Marburg virus NP-RNA complex using cryo-EM, revealing conserved residues critical for nucleocapsid formation and RNA synthesis between MARV and EBOV.

Highly-Neutralizing COVID-19-Convalescent-Plasmas Potently Block SARS-CoV-2 Replication and Pneumonia in Syrian Hamsters.

Y. Takamatsu, M. Imai, K. Maeda, N. Nakajima, N. Higashi-Kuwata, K. Iwatsuki-Horimoto, M. Ito, M. Kiso, T. Maemura, Y. Takeda, K. Omata, T. Suzuki, Y. Kawaoka, H. Mitsuya

This study shows that highly-neutralizing COVID-19 convalescent plasmas significantly reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral titers and lung lesions in Syrian hamsters compared to moderately neutralizing plasmas.

Serine-arginine protein kinase 1 regulates Ebola virus transcription

Y. Takamatsu, V. Kraehling, L. Kolesnikova, S. Halwe, C. Lier, S. Baumeister, T. Noda, N. Biedenkopf, S. Becker

This study identifies SRPK1 and SRPK2 as kinases that phosphorylate VP30, a key transcription factor for Ebola virus, and shows that disrupting this interaction impairs viral replication.

Microtubule-dependent transport of arenavirus matrix protein demonstrated using live-cell imaging microscopy.

Y. Takamatsu, J. Kajikawa, Y. Muramoto, M. Nakano, T. Noda

The paper uses live-cell imaging to show that arenavirus matrix proteins are transported via microtubules, with LCMV serving as a safe model for studying LASV-related mechanisms.
