A Hardwired HIV Latency Program [PDF]
Biological circuits can be controlled by two general schemes: environmental sensing or autonomous programs. For viruses such as HIV, the prevailing hypothesis is that latent infection is controlled by cellular state (i.e., environment), with latency simply an epiphenomenon of infected cells transitioning from an activated to resting state.

The mTOR Complex Controls HIV Latency [PDF]
A population of CD4 T lymphocytes harboring latent HIV genomes can persist in patients on antiretroviral therapy, posing a barrier to HIV eradication. To examine cellular complexes controlling HIV latency, we conducted a genome-wide screen with a pooled ultracomplex shRNA library and in vitro system modeling HIV latency and identified the mTOR complex ...

Bridging HIV-1 cellular latency and clinical long-term non-progressor: an interactomic view. [PDF]
Development of an effective HIV management is enticed by the fact that long-term non-progressors (LTNP) restrict viral replication spontaneously, but is hindered by HIV-1 latency.

HIV-1 remains incurable due to viral reservoirs, which lead to durably latent HIV infection. Identifying novel host factors and deciphering the molecular mechanisms involved in the establishment and maintenance of latency are critical to discover new ...

A Two-Color Haploid Genetic Screen Identifies Novel Host Factors Involved in HIV-1 Latency
To identify novel host factors as putative targets to reverse HIV-1 latency, we performed an insertional mutagenesis genetic screen in a latent HIV-1 infected pseudohaploid KBM7 cell line (Hap-Lat).

MicroRNA-155 Reinforces HIV Latency [PDF]
The presence of a small number of infected but transcriptionally dormant cells currently thwarts a cure for the more than 35 million individuals infected with HIV. Reactivation of these latently infected cells may result in three fates: 1) cell death due to a viral cytopathic effect, 2) cell death due to immune clearance, or 3) a retreat into latency ...

HIV-1 Latency by Transition [PDF]
The latent HIV-1 reservoir represents the major barrier for the development of an HIV-1 cure. In this issue of Immunity, Shan et al. (2017) highlight that effector-to-memory transitioning (EMT) CD4+ T cells are particularly permissive for the establishment of latent HIV-1 infection.

Molecular mechanisms of HIV latency [PDF]
HIV seeds reservoirs of latent proviruses in the earliest phases of infection. These reservoirs are found in many sites, including circulating cells, the lymphoid system, the brain, and other tissues. The "shock and kill" strategy, where HIV transcription is reactivated so that antiretroviral therapy and the immune system clear the infection, has been ...

A better understanding of HIV-1 latency is a research priority in HIV cure research. Conversely, little is known about the latency characteristics of HIV-2, the closely related human lentivirus.

Diverse effects of interferon alpha on the establishment and reversal of HIV latency.
HIV latency is the major barrier to a cure for people living with HIV (PLWH) on antiretroviral therapy (ART) because the virus persists in long-lived non-proliferating and proliferating latently infected CD4+ T cells.
