Evolution of Integrase Resistance During Failure of Integrase Inhibitor-Based Antiretroviral Therapy [PDF]
Although integrase inhibitors are highly effective in the management of drug-resistant HIV, some patients fail to achieve durable viral suppression. The long-term consequences of integrase inhibitor failure have not been well defined.We identified 29 individuals who exhibited evidence of incomplete viral suppression on a regimen containing an integrase

Filamentous phages of Ralstonia solanacearum: Double-edged swords for pathogenic bacteria
Some phages from genus Inovirus use host or bacteriophage-encoded site-specific integrases or recimbinases establish a prophage state. During integration or excision, a superinfective form can be produced.

A mathematical model of bacteria capable of complete oxidation of ammonium predicts improved nitrogen removal and reduced production of nitrous oxide [PDF]
The removal of excess nutrients from water ecosystems requires oxidation of toxic ammonium by two types of bacteria; one oxidizes ammonium to nitrite and the other oxidizes nitrite to nitrate.

HIV-1 Integrase Inhibitors That Are Active against Drug-Resistant Integrase Mutants
The currently recommended first-line therapy for HIV-1-infected patients is an integrase (IN) strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI), either dolutegravir (DTG) or bictegravir (BIC), in combination with two nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Both DTG and BIC potently inhibit most INSTI-resistant IN mutants selected by the INSTIs raltegravir

Approaches to repurposing reverse transcriptase antivirals in cancer
This review highlights the role of reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibition in cellular regulation associated with non‐terminal repeat retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses. Based on their pleiotropic characteristics, RT inhibitors (RTIs) are discussed as potential anticancer agents.

TOX4 and NOVA1 proteins are partners of the LEDGF PWWP domain and affect HIV-1 replication.
PWWP domains are involved in the chromatin attachment of several proteins. They bind to both DNA and proteins and their interaction with specific histone methylation marks define them as a new class of histone code readers.

The influence of the accessory genome on bacterial pathogen evolution [PDF]
Bacterial pathogens exhibit significant variation in their genomic content of virulence factors. This reflects the abundance of strategies pathogens evolved to infect host organisms by suppressing host immunity.
