Block-and-Lock Approaches for HIV Cure: Mechanistic Insights, Challenges, and Emerging Role of CPSF6. [PDF]
The block-and-lock strategy aims to achieve a functional cure for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection by enforcing durable, drug-independent silencing of proviral transcription. Several latency-promoting agents have been described that effectively limit viral reactivation in vitro or in animal models.

Nuclear entry of HIV-1 replication complexes through intact nuclear pore complexes is critical for successful infection. The host protein cleavage-and-polyadenylation-specificity-factor-6 (CPSF6) has been implicated in different stages of early HIV-1 ...

HIV-1 uncoating location dictates sites of integration [PDF]
HIV-1 cores enter the nucleus and undergo capsid disassembly (uncoating) near their integration site. Although most viral cores are localized to nuclear speckles (NSs), the spatial relationship between the uncoating site and integration site remains ...

Unique Genetic and Epigenetic Alterations in Glioblastoma Long-Term Survivors: Insights From Two Clinical Cases. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The biological mechanisms driving the long survival in glioblastoma (GBM). Five‐year long‐term survival (LTS) and 10‐year survival very long‐term survival (VLTS) remain significantly understudied. Here we molecularly detailed two cases. AR10‐046 (VLTS) was affected by a giant cell‐GBM, classified as the pedHGG_RTK1a subtype according to the ...

Mutual feedback regulation between Poly(A)-specific ribonuclease (PARN) and cognate microRNAs [PDF]
PARN regulates poly(A) lengths of pri-miR-29a and pri-miR-1207, which in turn target PARN mRNA. CPSF6 recruits PARN to pri-miRNAs, modulating miRNA levels and cell migration, revealing a dynamic mutual feedback between PARN and specific microRNAs.

Hiding in Plain Sight: HIV-1 Membraneless Organelles as Nuclear Hubs—Host Hijacking, Replication, Immune Evasion, and Drug-Access Implications [PDF]
Theories on the early steps of the HIV-1 life cycle have been radically revised over the past five years. The long-held assumption that the capsid fully disassembles in the cytoplasm has given way to a more nuanced view: Cytoplasmic disassembly does ...

CPSF6 is a component of the CFIm complex, involved in mRNA 3´end processing. Despite increasing interest on this protein as a consequence of proposed roles in cancer and HIV infection, several aspects of CPSF6 biological function are poorly understood ...

Acute myeloid leukemia with CPSF6–RARG fusion resembling acute promyelocytic leukemia with extramedullary infiltration [PDF]
Some subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) share morphologic, immunophenotypic, and clinical features of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), but lack a PML–RARA (promyelocytic leukemia–retinoic acid receptor alpha) fusion gene.

SNW1 promotes lymphatic metastasis in bladder cancer by modulating SRPK1 splicing [PDF]
Summary: The overall survival of patients with metastatic bladder cancer (BCa) remains poor. There is a lack of effective therapies and reliable biomarkers for metastatic BCa. BCa cells initially disseminate via the pelvic lymph nodes (LN).
