AN ARGININE-RICH MOTIF IN THE ORF2 CAPSID PROTEIN REGULATES THE HEPATITIS E VIRUS LIFECYCLE AND INTERACTIONS WITH THE HOST CELL.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis worldwide.Hepatitis E is usually asymptomatic and self-limiting but it can become chronic in immunocompromised patients and is associated with increased fulminant hepatic failure and mortality rates in pregnant women.HEV genome encodes three proteins including the O

Triacylglycerol (TGA) is the primary component of intramuscular fat.Expression of diacylglyceryl transferase (DGAT) determines the polyester differentiation ability of precursor adipocytes.The two DGAT isoforms (DGAT1 and DGAT2) play different roles in TAG metabolism.This study investigates the roles of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in signaling pathways related
