Investigation of HIV-1 Gag binding with RNAs and lipids using Atomic Force Microscopy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Atomic Force Microscopy was utilized to study the morphology of Gag, ΨRNA, and their binding complexes with lipids in a solution environment with 0.1Å vertical and 1nm lateral resolution. TARpolyA RNA was used as a RNA control. The lipid used was phospha-

DISTINCTIVE SIRE1 RETROTRANSPOSON PATTERNS ON BARLEY CHROMOSOMES?
Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences, 2021 SIRE1 is an active and relatively high copy-number retroelement belongs to the Tyl/Copia long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon superfamily. Distinctive SIRE1 elements (ENV and GAG) distributions in barley genome were observed by using fluorescent in

The tax-inducible actin-bundling protein fascin is crucial for release and cell-to-cell transmission of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) [PDF]
, 2016 The delta-retrovirus Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) preferentially infects CD4(+) T-cells via cell-to-cell transmission. Viruses are transmitted by polarized budding and by transfer of viral biofilms at the virological synapse (VS ...
