This $987,566 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports a collaborative research project between U.S. and French research teams focused on understanding the self-assembly process of viral capsids and RNA genomes. The project aims to elucidate the differences between in vitro and in cellulo viral assembly processes by progressively adding key molecules that play roles in the viral life cycle, mimicking the crowded...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $1,736,846.00 to conduct research on deltaretrovirus particle assembly and maturation. The research aims to apply advanced imaging techniques like cryo-electron microscopy, super-resolution microscopy, and dual-color z-scan microscopy to investigate the structural and functional aspects of deltaretrovirus particle assembly....
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under CFDA 93.859 Biomedical Research and Research Training program will support the development of a research program focused on using structural homology to uncover and study independently evolved antiviral effector proteins, both in understudied species and their viruses. The $125,000 award, effective from Sep 1, 2024 to Aug 31, 2026, will enable the awardee, the University of Utah, to conduct the...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $194,616 to support research on how the human adenovirus manipulates host cell processes to facilitate viral infection. The primary objectives are to investigate the role of arginine methylation, a post-translational modification, in regulating host RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and how the viral 100kDa protein...
This federal Project Grant award in the amount of $380,725 was provided by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859). The award supports research to establish a molecular model for how viral receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) evolve new functions, with the goal of predicting viral host shifts. The project aims to use high-throughput gene editing and phenotyping assays to test a two-step model of RBP...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) provides $659,949 to the University of Connecticut (UConn) to investigate the mechanisms of viral capsid assembly and virus-host interactions using bacteriophage P22 as a model system. The key goals are to: 1) reveal how the scaffolding protein interacts with capsid proteins to control proper assembly and morphology of procapsids, 2)...
This federal Project Grant award for $930,232 from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training Program (CFDA 93.859) supports research to understand how the cellular enzyme viperin regulates various metabolic and signaling pathways to establish an antiviral state and restrict viral replication. The research, conducted by the Regents of the University of Michigan, will combine detailed mechanistic and structural studies on purified...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under the Trans-NIH Research Support (CFDA 93.310) program, provides $1,367,863 to Emory University to conduct biophysical research on herpesvirus capsid assembly and genome packaging. The goal is to develop new methodologies to monitor these essential viral processes in real-time, which could lead to a more complete understanding of herpesviral replication and the development of improved preventative and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under CFDA Program 93.855 Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research, aims to characterize the structure of key glycoprotein complexes involved in herpes simplex virus (HSV) cell entry. The $236,292 award to Tufts University School of Medicine will enable the use of cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM) to obtain high-resolution structural "snapshots" of the GD/GH/GL and GH/GL/GB glycoprotein...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855), provides $104,984 to Pennsylvania State University to conduct research on how the Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV) induces the nucleolar stress response (NSR) in infected cells. The goal is to determine the mechanisms by which MCPyV's large tumor antigen (LT) inhibits ribosomal biogenesis, leading to activation of the...
