Genetic lesions within the 3a gene of SARS-CoV
(BioMed Central, 2005)
A series of frameshift mutations within the 3a gene has been observed in culture-derived severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV). We report here that viral RNA from clinical
samples obtained from SARS-CoV ...
Revisiting Paulo Freire as a theoretical base for participatory practices for social workers
(University of Stellenbosch, 2002)
A Novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Protein, U274, is transported to the Cell Surface and undergoes Endocytosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) genome contains open reading frames
(ORFs) that encode for several genes that are homologous to proteins found in all known coronaviruses. These
are the replicase ...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus protein 7a interacts with hSGT
(Elsevier, 2006)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) 7a is an accessory protein with no known homologues. In this study, we
report the interaction of a SARS-CoV 7a and small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat-containing ...
Antimicrobial activity of two South African honeys produced from indigenous Leucospermum cordifolium and Erica species on selected micro-organisms
(BioMed Central, 2008)
Background: Honey has been shown to have wound healing properties which can be ascribed to
its antimicrobial activity. The antimicrobial activity can be effective against a broad spectrum of
bacterial species especially ...
Overexpression of 7a, a Protein Specifically Encoded by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus, Induces Apoptosis via a Caspase-Dependent Pathway
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
Besides genes that are homologous to proteins found in other coronaviruses, the severe acute respiratory
syndrome coronavirus genome also contains nine other potential open reading frames. Previously, we have
characterized ...
Amino acids 1055 to 1192 in the S2 Region of severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus S Protein induce neutralizing antibodies: Implications for the development of vaccines and antiviral agents
(American Society for Microbiology, 2005)
The spike (S) protein of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) interacts with
cellular receptors to mediate membrane fusion, allowing viral entry into host cells; hence it is recognized as the
primary ...
The information literacy education readiness of public libraries in Mpumalanga Province
(Walter de Gruyter, 2006)
This study examines if public libraries in a province in South Africa are ready to assume an
enhanced responsibility for information literacy education, specifically that of students, and, if so,
what inhibiting and ...
Characterization of a unique group-specific protein (U122) of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
A novel coronavirus (CoV) has been identified as the etiological agent of severe acute respiratory syndrome
(SARS). The SARS-CoV genome encodes the characteristic essential CoV replication and structural proteins.
Additionally, ...
Coercive sexual practices and gender-based violence on a university campus
(Taylor & Francis, co-published with Unisa Press, 2009)
When a 22-year-old University of the Western Cape (UWC) female student was stabbed to death by her boyfriend (another
student) in her room in the university residence on 25 August 2008, the entire campus was left reeling. ...
