PB1-F2 amyloid-like fibers correlate with proinflammatory signaling and respiratory distress in influenza-infected mice
17 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
PB1-F2 is a virulence factor of influenza A virus known to increase viral pathogenicity in mammalian hosts. PB1-F2 is an intrinsically disordered protein displaying a propensity to form amyloid-like fibers. However, the correlation between PB1-F2 structures and the resulting inflammatory response is unknown. Here, we used synchrotron-coupled Fourier transform-IR and deep UV microscopies to determine the presence...
