The Spread of Endogenous Retroviruses in Populations Infected by Exogenous Viruses [PDF]

Viruses
Retroviruses insert DNA copies of themselves into the chromosomes of their hosts forming proviruses that can synthesize new transmissible viruses.

Monitoring for PERV Following Xenotransplantation [PDF]

Transplant International
Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are integrated in the genome of all pigs. PERV-A, PERV-B and PERV-C can be released as infectious virus particles and PERV-A and PERV-B can infect human cells in culture.

Heparanase, a host gene that potently restricts retrovirus transcription [PDF]

mBio
Heparanase (HPSE) is a heterodimeric β-D-glucuronidase that is critical in mammalian cells for the enzymatic cleavage of membrane-associated heparan sulfate moieties.

Vpx enhances innate immune responses independently of SAMHD1 during HIV-1 infection

Retrovirology, 2021
Background The genomes of HIV-2 and some SIV strains contain the accessory gene vpx, which carries out several functions during infection, including the downregulation of SAMHD1.

Review and Perspectives on the Structure–Function Relationships of the Gag Subunits of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus

Pathogens, 2021
The Gag polyprotein is implied in the budding as well as the establishment of the supramolecular architecture of infectious retroviral particles. It is also involved in the early phases of the replication of retroviruses by protecting and transporting ...

Vaccination directed against the human endogenous retrovirus-K envelope protein inhibits tumor growth in a murine model system [PDF]

, 2013
Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) genomes are chromosomally integrated in all cells of an individual. They are normally transcriptionally silenced and transmitted only vertically. Enhanced expression of HERV-K accompanied by the emergence of anti-HERV-K-

The large extracellular loop of CD63 interacts with gp41 of HIV-1 and is essential for establishing the virological synapse

Scientific Reports, 2021
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) persists lifelong in infected individuals and has evolved unique strategies in order to evade the immune system. One of these strategies is the direct cell-to-cell spread of HIV-1.

Characterization of HIV-1 Epidemic in Kyrgyzstan

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Kyrgyzstan has one of the highest rates of HIV-1 spread in Central Asia. In this study, we used molecular–epidemiological approaches to examine the HIV-1 epidemic in Kyrgyzstan.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of HIV-1 CRF63_02A6 sub-epidemic

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
HIV-1 epidemic in Russia is one of the fastest growing in the world reaching 1.14 million people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) in 2021. Since mid-1990s, the HIV-1 epidemic in Russia has started to grow substantially due to the multiple HIV-1 outbreaks among ...

A Missing Link between Retrotransposons and Retroviruses

mBio, 2022
The origin and deep evolution of retroviruses remain largely unclear. It has been proposed that retroviruses might have originated from a Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposon, but all known Ty3/Gypsy retrotransposons are only distantly related to retroviruses ...
