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.

Activation of an oncogenic microRNA cistron by provirus integration [PDF]
Retroviruses can cause tumors when they integrate near a protooncogene or tumor suppressor gene of the host. We infected >2,500 mice with the SL3-3 murine leukemia virus; in 22 resulting tumors, we found provirus integrations nearby or within the gene that contains the mir-17-92 microRNA (miRNA) cistron.

Reactivation of latent HIV-1 provirus via targeting protein phosphatase-1
BackgroundHIV-1 escapes antiretroviral drugs by integrating into the host DNA and forming a latent transcriptionally silent HIV-1 provirus. This provirus presents the major hurdle in HIV-1 eradication and cure.

Abstract HTLV‐1 is a retrovirus associated with adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and inflammatory diseases, including HTLV‐1‐associated myelopathy (HAM) and HTLV‐1‐associated bronchopneumonopathy (HAB). Although pulmonary complications are common in HTLV‐1‐associated diseases, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

HIV-1 latent reservoirs harbouring silenced but replication-competent proviruses are a major obstacle against viral eradication in infected patients. The “shock and kill” strategy aims to reactivate latent provirus with latency reversing agents (LRAs) in

Underestimated effect of intragenic HIV-1 DNA methylation on viral transcription in infected individuals [PDF]
Background: The HIV-1 proviral genome harbors multiple CpG islands (CpGIs), both in the promoter and intragenic regions. DNA methylation in the promoter region has been shown to be heavily involved in HIV-1 latency regulation in cultured cells.

Genomic Validation of PERV‐C‐Free Pigs to Support Xenotransplantation
ABSTRACT Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are present in the germ lines of domesticated pigs (Sus scrofa) and related suids. There are three types of PERVs, PERV‐A, ‐B, and ‐C, which differ in their host range. PERV‐A and ‐B can infect human and porcine cells, while PERV‐C only infects porcine cells. PERV‐A and ‐B are found in the genomes of all

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are the remnants of viral infections that occurred in our ancestors, subsequently integrated into the human genome. They make up about 8% of the human genome. Increased HERV expression occurs in physiological and pathological conditions, especially neurological diseases.

Provirus mutations of human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1), mostly the lack of the 5′ long terminal repeat (LTR) genomic region, have been described and associated with severe adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), non-sense point mutations with low ...

Transformation and clonal proliferation of T-cells infected with human T-cell leukemia virus type-I (HTLV-1) cause adult T-cell leukemia. We took advantage of next-generation sequencing technology to develop and internally validate a new methodology for ...
