IFI16 is an important player of the host intrinsic immune response. Among others, it has been reported to sense intermediate products of HIV-1 reverse transcription in the cytosol and to sequester the transcription factor Sp1 in the nucleus to attenuate viral gene expression. Here, we present three different methods to reduce IFI16 protein expressi...

Lectin histochemical analysis of tissues combined with immunohistochemistry is a valuable tool to characterize and correlate the spatial distribution of glycans with the presence of specific cell types or antigens of interest. The current protocol describes the application of monosaccharide motif specificity of lectin binding to glycan residues to ...

The recruitment of the minichromosome maintenance complex (MCM) on DNA replication origins is a critical process for faithful genome duplication termed licensing. Aberrant licensing has been associated with cancer and, recently, with neurodevelopmental diseases. Investigating MCM loading in complicated tissues, such as brain, remains challenging. H...

CD32 has raised conflicting results as a putative marker of the HIV-1 reservoir. We measured CD32 expression in tissues from viremic and virally suppressed humanized mice treated relatively early or late after HIV-1 infection with combined antiretroviral therapy. CD32 was expressed in a small fraction of the memory CD4+ T-cell subsets from differen...

Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) reports on protein organization in cells with near-molecular resolution and in combination with stoichiometric labeling enables protein counting. Fluorescent proteins allow stoichiometric labeling of cellular proteins; however, most methods either lead to overexpression or are complex and time demandin...

The vrille (vri) gene encodes a transcriptional repressor required for Drosophila development as well as circadian behavior in adults. Alternate first exons produce vri transcripts predicted to produce a short VRI isoform during development and long VRI in adults. A vri mutant (vri Δ679) lacking long VRI transcripts is viable, confirming that short...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created an urgent need for therapeutics that inhibit the SARS-COV-2 virus and suppress the fulminant inflammation characteristic of advanced illness. Here, we describe the anti-COVID-19 potential of PTC299, an orally bioavailable compound that is a potent inhibitor of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase...
