A guide to heat shock factors as multifunctional transcriptional regulators
The heat shock factors (HSFs) are evolutionarily conserved transcription factors best known as regulators of molecular chaperone genes in response to heat shock and other protein‐damaging stresses. Vertebrate HSFs, HSF1‐5, HSFX, and HSFY, are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including organismal development and cancer ...

Characterization of the longitudinal HIV-1 quasispecies evolution in HIV-1 infected individuals co-infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
One of the earliest and most striking observations made about HIV is the extensive genetic variation that the virus has within individual hosts, particularly in the hypervariable regions of the env gene which is divided into 5 variable regions (V1-V5 ...

Selective Activation of Src Family Kinases by the HIV-1 Nef Protein [PDF]
Nef is a critical HIV-1 accessory factor shown to promote viral pathogenesis by altering host cell signaling pathways. Nef has been shown to bind several members of the Src family of protein-tyrosine kinases, and these interactions have been implicated ...

Natural variation of the nef gene in human immunodeficiency virus type 2 infections in Portugal [PDF]
Human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) infections cause severe immunodeficiency in humans, although HIV-2 is associated frequently with reduced virulence and pathogenicity compared to HIV-1.

Reactive Oxygen Species: From Tumorigenesis to Therapeutic Strategies in Cancer
ABSTRACT Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS), a class of highly reactive molecules, are closely linked to the pathogenesis of various cancers. While ROS primarily originate from normal cellular processes, external stimuli can also contribute to their production. Cancer cells typically exhibit elevated ROS levels due to disrupted redox homeostasis,

Cellular Viral Rebound after Cessation of Potent Antiretroviral Therapy Predicted by Levels of Multiply Spliced HIV-1 RNA Encoding nef [PDF]
To characterize newly arising replication of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 in vivo at the cellular level, distinct viral RNA species in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from HIV-1-infected patients were monitored during 2 weeks of ...

Oxidative Stress in People Living With HIV: Are Diverse Supplement Sources the Solution?
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has reduced human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/AIDS to a manageable chronic condition even though no cure exists. Despite ART control, latent HIV infection results in failed memory CD4 T‐cell responses, immune overactivation, inflammation, oxidative stress, genomic instability, deoxyribonucleic ...

Nef binds p6* in gagpol during replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1
The atypical Nef protein (NefF12) from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 strain F12 (HIV-1F12) interferes with virion production and infectivity via a mysterious mechanism.

Conserved presence of G-quadruplex forming sequences in the Long Terminal Repeat Promoter of Lentiviruses [PDF]
G-quadruplexes (G4s) are secondary structures of nucleic acids that epigenetically regulate cellular processes. In the human immunodeficiency lentivirus 1 (HIV-1), dynamic G4s are located in the unique viral LTR promoter.

Genetic Evolution Between HIV‐1 Groups M and O: HIV‐1/MO Recombinant Forms
ABSTRACT HIV exhibits significant genetic diversity, with genetic recombination being a major evolutionary process. The co‐circulation of HIV‐1/M and HIV‐1/O variants has led to the description of 20 HIV‐1/M+O dual infections since 1998. Despite the genetic divergence between these variants, HIV‐1/M+O dual infections have resulted in the emergence of ...
