PROTEIN STOPPING VIRUS DEVELOPMENT DISCOVERED

Researchers at University of Western Scotland have discovered a protein that can stop viruses from Developing. The team had already established that the same protein can suppress cancer. Now the fight is on to fully understand how it works in the hope of turning the laboratory research into a treatment. The protein is called Hira. Technically it is a histone chaperone complex, but it is easier to understand in terms of what it can do. Three years ago Dr Taranjit Singh Rai and colleagues at the Beatson cancer institute and Glasgow University reported that Hira could suppress the uncontrolled division of cells that causes cancer. So far, so exciting. But in the course of that research Dr Rai spotted something intriguing. "If you want to study cancer you use viruses to deliver the mutations into the cells," he says. "But every time when I used to use viruses, this protein Hira moved to a new place. Which made me think maybe it has something to do with viruses...
