    Abstract: Cellular receptors are identified that induce plasma leakage and other negative effects when infected with flaviviruses, such as dengue virus or Japanese encephamyelitis virus. Using fusion proteins disclosed herein, the receptors to which a pathogen, such as flavivirus, binds via glycan binding are determined. Once the receptors are determined, the effect of binding to a particular receptor may be determined, wherein targeting of the receptors causing a particular symptom may be targeted by agents that interrupt binding of the pathogen to the receptor. Accordingly, in the case of dengue virus and Japanese encephamyelitis virus, TNF-α is released when the pathogen binds to the DLVR1/CLEC5A receptor. Interrupting the DLVR1/CLEC5A receptor with monoclonal antibodies reduced TNF-α secretion without affecting secretion of cytokines responsible for viral clearance thereby increasing survival rates in infected mice from nil to around 50%.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to the isolation and functional identification of a novel acid and heat resistant trehalose synthase enzyme cloned from Picrophilus torridus. More particularly, the present invention discloses the DNA sequence for the Picrophilus torridus trehalose synthase gene, PTTS, which when expressed in a heterologous host such as Escherichia coli, provides enzymatic activity that catalyzes the direct interconversion of maltose and trehalose through intramolecular transglycosylation. Additionally, the present invention teaches methods of use of PTTS for production of trehalose as well as for production of various useful compounds comprising trehalose.
