Mechanisms of Late Restriction Induced by an Endogenous Retrovirus [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2007 ABSTRACT The host has developed during evolution a variety of “restriction factors” to fight retroviral infections. We investigated the mechanisms of a unique viral block acting at late stages of the retrovirus replication cycle. The sheep genome is colonized by several copies of endogenous retroviruses, known as enJSRVs, which are highly ...

Genetic Diversity of Koala Retroviral Envelopes
Viruses, 2015 Genetic diversity, attributable to the low fidelity of reverse transcription, recombination and mutation, is an important feature of infectious retroviruses.

Remnants of an Ancient Deltaretrovirus in the Genomes of Horseshoe Bats (Rhinolophidae)
Viruses, 2018 Endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences provide a rich source of information about the long-term interactions between retroviruses and their hosts. However, most ERVs are derived from a subset of retrovirus groups, while ERVs derived from certain other ...

Endogenous retrovirus envelope as a tumor-associated immunotherapeutic target in murine osteosarcoma
iScience, 2021 Summary: Osteosarcoma remains one of the deadliest cancers in pediatrics and young adults. We administered two types of immunotherapies, oncolytic virotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibition, to two murine osteosarcoma models and observed divergent ...

Origin and recent expansion of an endogenous gammaretroviral lineage in domestic and wild canids
Retrovirology, 2019 Background Vertebrate genomes contain a record of retroviruses that invaded the germlines of ancestral hosts and are passed to offspring as endogenous retroviruses (ERVs).

Spatiotemporal variations in retrovirus-host interactions among Darwin’s finches
Nature Communications, 2022 Endogenous retroviruses (ERV) are inherited remains of retroviruses that have colonized host genomes during evolution. Here the authors observe considerable species-specific ERV variation among Darwin’s finches, reflecting historic retrovirus-host ...

Evolution and subfamilies of HERVL human endogenous retrovirus. [PDF]
Bioinform AdvAbstract Background Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), which blur the boundary between virus and transposable element, are genetic material derived from retroviruses and have important implications for evolution.
