Calnexin is a ubiquitously expressed endoplasmic reticulum chaperone that in conjunction with the similar endoplasmic reticulum chaperone calreticulin and protein disulfide isomerase ERp57, is responsible for protein folding and quality control in the secretory pathway. We generated a...

The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for folding of newly synthesized proteins. Chaperone proteins, calreticulin and calnexin, with the thiol-oxidoreductase ERp57, interact with nascent proteins in a cycle of quality control to ensure proteins are folded correctly. In this study, we...

Vaccinia virus, the prototypic poxvirus, is remarkably successful at circumventing the host immune response using an array of dedicated proteins. Studying these immune modulators and immunomodulatory strategies has lead to their use in therapeutics. The present work provides an initial...
