Host cell proteases can process viral capsid proteins
(University of Jyv ä skyl ä - Jyv ä skyl ä n yliopisto) It has long been suggested that a cell protease could take part in enterovirus infection. However, the identity of such proteases have remained unknown. The work performed in the University of Jyv ä skyl ä shows, for the first time, that host cell calpain proteases can process enterovirus polyprotein in vitro. The research was published in Viruses scientific journal in November 2019. (Source: EurekAlert! - Infectious and Emerging Diseases)

Unexpected viral behavior linked to type 1 diabetes in high-risk children
(University of South Florida (USF Health)) New results from the Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study show an association between prolonged enterovirus infection and development of autoimmunity to the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells that precedes type 1 diabetes. Conversely, adenovirus C infection seems to confer protection from autoimmunity. The international research suggests new therapeutic avenues for prevention in some children.

Cellular calpain proteases can cleave the enteroviral polyprotein
(University of Jyv ä skyl ä - Jyv ä skyl ä n yliopisto) Enteroviruses can cause severe diseases such as encephalitis or myocarditis, and have been associated with chronic diseases such as type 1 diabetes. In her dissertation at the University of Jyvaskyla M.Sc Mira Laajala focuses on viral and host cell factors that promote the infection of enterovirus B species after cell entry. The research showed that in addition to enteroviral proteases, cellular calpain proteases can cleave the enteroviral polyprotein. The information may possibly be used in antiviral development.
