Latency: the hidden HIV-1 challenge [PDF]
Eradication of HIV-1 from an infected individual cannot be achieved by current regimens. Viral reservoirs established early during the infection remain unaffected by anti-retroviral therapy for a long time and are able to replenish systemic infection ...

Post-Transcriptional HIV-1 Latency: A Promising Target for Therapy? [PDF]
Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) latency represents a significant hurdle in finding a cure for HIV-1 infections, despite tireless research efforts.

Epitranscriptomic m<sup>6</sup>A modifications during reactivation of HIV-1 latency in CD4<sup>+</sup> T cells. [PDF]
Despite effective antiretroviral therapy reducing HIV-1 viral loads to undetectable levels, the presence of latently infected CD4+ T cells poses a major barrier to HIV-1 cure.

Tannic acid reactivates HIV-1 latency by mediating CBX4 degradation. [PDF]
HIV-1 can integrate viral DNA into host cell chromosomes and establish a long-term stable latent viral reservoir, a major obstacle in curing HIV-1 infection. The reactivation of latent proviruses with latency-reversing agents (LRAs) is a prerequisite for

Schlafen 12 restricts HIV-1 latency reversal by a codon-usage dependent post-transcriptional block in CD4+ T cells. [PDF]
Latency is a major barrier towards virus elimination in HIV-1-infected individuals. Yet, the mechanisms that contribute to the maintenance of HIV-1 latency are incompletely understood.

A modular CRISPR screen identifies individual and combination pathways contributing to HIV-1 latency. [PDF]
Transcriptional silencing of latent HIV-1 proviruses entails complex and overlapping mechanisms that pose a major barrier to in vivo elimination of HIV-1.

PCID2 dysregulates transcription and viral RNA processing to promote HIV-1 latency. [PDF]
Summary: HIV-1 latency results from tightly regulated molecular processes that act at distinct steps of HIV-1 gene expression. Here, we characterize PCI domain-containing 2 (PCID2) protein, a subunit of the transcription and export complex 2 (TREX2 ...

RYBP promotes HIV-1 latency through promoting H2AK119ub and decreasing H3K4me3. [PDF]
Background Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) cannot be completely cured, and the main obstacle is the existence of viral reservoirs. However, we currently do not fully understand the molecular mechanisms by which HIV-1 latency is established and ...
