Transcriptional provirus silencing as a crosstalk of de novo DNA methylation and epigenomic features at the integration site

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2012
The autonomous transcription of integrated retroviruses strongly depends on genetic and epigenetic effects of the chromatin at the site of integration. These effects are mostly suppressive and proviral activity can be finally silenced by mechanisms, such

Genome-wide determinants of proviral targeting, clonal abundance and expression in natural HTLV-1 infection.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
The regulation of proviral latency is a central problem in retrovirology. We postulate that the genomic integration site of human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) determines the pattern of expression of the provirus, which in turn determines the ...

Sequence Instability in the Proviral Long Terminal Repeat and gag Regions from Peripheral Blood and Tissue-Derived Leukocytes of FIV-Infected Cats during the Late Asymptomatic Phase. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection results in viral persistence, a prolonged asymptomatic phase, and progressive immunopathology. During the asymptomatic phase, a cohort of experimentally FIV-infected cats exhibits features of viral latency in

Distribution, diversity and evolution of endogenous retroviruses in perissodactyl genomes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The evolution of mammalian genomes has been shaped by interactions with endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). In this study, we investigated the distribution and diversity of ERVs in the mammalian order Perissodactyla, with a view to understanding their impact

People Living With HIV Have More Intact HIV DNA in Circulating CD4+ T Cells if They Have History of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

open access: yesPathogens and Immunity
Background: A primary barrier to curing HIV is the HIV reservoir. The leading infectious cause of death worldwide for people living with HIV is tuberculosis (TB), but we do not know how TB impacts the HIV reservoir.

Challenges in Quantifying Cytosine Methylation in the HIV Provirus

open access: yesmBio, 2019
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism most commonly associated with transcriptional repression. While it is clear that DNA methylation can silence HIV proviral expression in in vitro latency models, its correlation with HIV persistence and expression in vivo is ambiguous, particularly in

Impact of chromatin on HIV-1 latency: a multi-dimensional perspective

open access: yesEpigenetics & Chromatin
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a retrovirus that infects multiple immune cell types and integrates into host cell DNA termed provirus.
