Peipei Yuan,Jun Yan,Shuang Wang et al.
Peipei Yuan et al.
Background: Prototype foamy virus (PFV) is nonpathogenic complex retroviruses that express a transcriptional transactivator Tas, which is essential for the activity of viral long terminal repeat (LTR) promoter and interna...
HIV-1 integrase binding to genomic RNA 5'-UTR induces local structural changes in vitro and in virio [0.03%]
HIV-1整合酶与基因组RNA 5'-UTR的结合在体外和病毒中引起局部结构变化
Shuohui Liu,Pratibha C Koneru,Wen Li et al.
Shuohui Liu et al.
Background: During HIV-1 maturation, Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins are proteolytically cleaved and the capsid protein polymerizes to form the honeycomb capsid lattice. HIV-1 integrase (IN) binds the viral genomic RNA (gRNA...

Zhang et al. (Proc Natl Acad Sci 118:e2105968118, 2021) recently reported that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can be retrotranscribed and integrated into the DNA of human cells by the L1 retrotransposon machinery. This phenomenon could cause persistence of...
Residues T48 and A49 in HIV-1 NL4-3 Nef are responsible for the counteraction of autophagy initiation, which prevents the ubiquitin-dependent degradation of Gag through autophagosomes [0.03%]
HIV-1 NL4-3 Nef中的T48和A49残基负责对抗自噬的启动,从而防止Gag通过自噬溶酶体进行泛素依赖性降解

The HIV-1 capsid, a conical shell encasing viral nucleoprotein complexes, is involved in multiple post-entry processes during viral replication. Many host factors can directly bind to the HIV-1 capsid protein (CA) and either promote or prev...
Altered Env conformational dynamics as a mechanism of resistance to peptide-triazole HIV-1 inactivators [0.03%]
