Tse A, Acreman C, Ricardo-Lax I, Berrigan J, Lasso G, Balogun T, et al.
PLoS Pathog . 2024 Nov; 20(11):e1012704. PMID: 39546542
Understanding the zoonotic risks posed by bat coronaviruses (CoVs) is critical for pandemic preparedness. Herein, we generated recombinant vesicular stomatitis viruses (rVSVs) bearing spikes from divergent bat CoVs to investigate...

Kearns F, Rosenfeld M, Amaro R
J Chem Inf Model . 2024 Sep; 64(20):7949-7965. PMID: 39327869
Mucins, the biomolecular components of mucus, are glycoproteins that form a thick physical barrier at all tissue-air interfaces, forming a first line of defense against pathogens. Structural features of mucins...

Nuqui X, Casalino L, Zhou L, Shehata M, Wang A, Tse A, et al.
Nat Commun . 2024 Aug; 15(1):7370. PMID: 39191724
The full-length prefusion-stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) is the principal antigen of COVID-19 vaccines. Vaccine efficacy has been impacted by emerging variants of concern that accumulate most of the sequence modifications...

Chongsaritsinsuk J, Steigmeyer A, Mahoney K, Rosenfeld M, Lucas T, Smith C, et al.
Nat Commun . 2023 Oct; 14(1):6169. PMID: 37794035
Mucin-domain glycoproteins are densely O-glycosylated and play critical roles in a host of biological functions. In particular, the T cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing family of proteins (TIM-1, -3, -4)...

Kim S, Kearns F, Rosenfeld M, Votapka L, Casalino L, Papanikolas M, et al.
Cell Rep Phys Sci . 2023 Apr; 4(4):101346. PMID: 37077408
Viral variants of concern continue to arise for SARS-CoV-2, potentially impacting both methods for detection and mechanisms of action. Here, we investigate the effect of an evolving spike positive charge...
