Abstract:
Methods of treating a disease or disorder associated with a down or up-regulation of an immune response of a subject are disclosed. The methods comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of any one or more of the molecule 1′-2′ glycosyl cyclic adenosine diphosphate ribose (1′-2′ gcADPR), 1′-3′ gcADPR or Tad1 protein.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are 3, 4-didehydro- and 3′-deoxy-3, 4-didehydro-compounds and pharmaceutical compositions thereof. Methods of use of these pharmaceutical compositions include those for treating diseases including virus-induced diseases, cancer, autoimmune diseases, immune disorders, and bacterial-associated diseases or infections, or combinations thereof. Examples of viral-induced diseases include viral infections by RNA or DNA viruses, for example SAR-CoV-2, EBV, BKV, JCV and HCMV.
Abstract:
An isolated polypeptide is disclosed comprising an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs: 2773-5544 and 11089-11094, wherein the polypeptide has antimicrobial activity. Uses thereof for treating microbial infections are also disclosed.

Abstract:
Genetically modified phages are provided. Accordingly, there is provided a genetically modified phage comprising a polynucleotide encoding an anti-defense system polypeptide. Also provided are methods of producing and using same.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are prokaryotic homologs of viperin (pVips), and nucleotide and nucleoside analogs produced from pVips. These nucleotide and nucleoside analogs stop nucleotide chain synthesis and provide host cells with resistance to viral infections by targeting actively replicating viral genome. Further, these nucleotide and nucleoside analogs decrease DNA replication in malignant cells. Further disclosed are methods of identifying pVips, and nucleotide and nucleoside analogs produced thereof.
Abstract:
A method of determining a transcription termination site in bacterial DNA is disclosed. Uses of sequences comprising transcription termination sites are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Methods of expressing an expression product of interest are provided. Accordingly there is provided a method comprising introducing into a cell a polynucleotide comprising an AimR responsive element operatively linked to a nucleic acid sequence encoding the expression product of interest, and contacting said cell with an AimP peptide comprising an amino acid sequence of XXXXGG/A, wherein said AimP peptide is capable of binding said AimR polypeptide and dissociating said AimR polypeptide from said AimR responsive element. Also provided are articles of manufacture, isolated peptides, polynucleotides and nucleic acid constructs.
