The Peptide PROTAC Modality: A New Strategy for Drug Discovery
Peptide PROTAC is a bifunctional molecule generally composed of a target protein binding peptide (TBP), a linker peptide (LP), an E3 ligase binding peptide (EBP), and a delivery‐enhancing peptide (DEP), which can bind to the target protein (P) and E3 ligase (E3), inducing P to be labeled with ubiquitin (Ub) and subsequently recognized and degraded by ...

Grb3-3 Is Up-regulated in HIV-1-infected T-cells and Can Potentiate Cell Activation through NFATc*
The MAPK pathway is required for T-cell activation; however, its role in modulating T-cell function following human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection is poorly understood.

A comprehensive overview on the crosstalk between microRNAs and viral pathogenesis and infection
Abstract Infections caused by viruses as the smallest infectious agents, pose a major threat to global public health. Viral infections utilize different host mechanisms to facilitate their own propagation and pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), as small noncoding RNA molecules, play important regulatory roles in different diseases, including viral ...

Heterogeneity in HIV and cellular transcription profiles in cell line models of latent and productive infection: implications for HIV latency. [PDF]
BackgroundHIV-infected cell lines are widely used to study latent HIV infection, which is considered the main barrier to HIV cure. We hypothesized that these cell lines differ from each other and from cells from HIV-infected individuals in the mechanisms

Antigen presentation of post‐translationally modified peptides in major histocompatibility complexes
T cells recognize pathogens and malignantly transformed cells through antigen presentation on major histocompatibility complex molecules. Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins can alter the peptides presented, influencing immune recognition and disease.

The heterosexual human immunodeficiency virus type 1 epidemic in Thailand is caused by an intersubtype (A/E) recombinant of African origin [PDF]
Since 1989, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has spread explosively through the heterosexual population in Thailand. This epidemic is caused primarily by viruses classified as "subtype E", which, on the basis of limited sequence comparisons ...

Acute-Phase CD8 T cell responses that select for escape variants are needed to control live attenuated simian immunodeficiency virus [PDF]
The overall CD8 T cell response to human/simian immunodeficiency virus (HIV/SIV) targets a collection of discrete epitope specificities. Some of these epitope-specific CD8 T cells emerge in the weeks and months following infection and rapidly select ...

The Interplay Between Viral Infection and Cell Death: A Ping‐Pong Effect
Programmed cell death (PCD) is a well‐studied cellular mechanism that plays a critical role in immune responses, developmental processes, and the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. However, viruses have developed diverse strategies to bypass or manipulate the host apoptotic machinery to enhance their replication and survival.

Protein expression from unintegrated HIV-1 DNA introduces bias in primary in vitro post-integration latency models [PDF]
To understand the persistence of latently HIV-1 infected cells in virally suppressed infected patients, a number of in vitro models of HIV latency have been developed.
