  • Viral Targeting of Host Hubs: Interactions between the Rabies Virus and LC8

    Creator:
    Jespersen, Nathan E.
    Abstract:
    As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses rely on host machinery for their own reproduction. Viruses are therefore required to interact with a wide variety of host proteins, despite limitations in viral genome size. The most parsimonious method of success is to hijack central and essential proteins, known as hub proteins. LC8...

  • Specificity, Allostery, and Multivalency in Binding to the Hub Protein LC8

    Creator:
    Estelle, Aidan B.
    Abstract:
    Interactions between proteins are essential to life, driving and regulating a majority of processes within all living cells. Study of protein-protein interactions reveals that some proteins act as hubs within networks of interactions, binding to many partner proteins. These hubs therefore are of particular importance to understanding protein function, interwoven...
