Background Detailed knowledge of the evolutionary potential of polymorphic sites in a viral protein is important for understanding the development of drug resistance in the presence of an inhibitor. We therefore set out to analyse the molecular evolution

The HERV-K(HML-2) family contains the most recently integrated and best preserved endogenized proviral sequences in the human genome. All known elements have nevertheless been subjected to mutations or deletions that render expressed particles non ...

The innate immune factor RPRD2/REAF and its role in the Lv2 restriction of HIV
Intracellular innate immunity involves co-evolved antiviral restriction factors that specifically inhibit infecting viruses. Studying these restrictions has increased our understanding of viral replication, host-pathogen interactions, and pathogenesis ...

Highly Variable Genomic Landscape of Endogenous Retroviruses in the C57BL/6J Inbred Strain, Depending on Individual Mouse, Gender, Organ Type, and Organ Location. [PDF]
Transposable repetitive elements, named the "TREome," represent ~40% of the mouse genome. We postulate that the germ line genome undergoes temporal and spatial diversification into somatic genomes in conjunction with the TREome activity.

Discovery of an endogenous foamy virus in primitive ruminant chevrotains
Foamy viruses (FVs) are a class of complex retroviruses that could lead to persistent infections in specific species. FVs have two evolutionary characteristics: the first is co-evolution with the host, and the second is difficulty going through the ...

Is HIV-1 RNA dimerization a prerequisite for packaging? Yes, no, probably? [PDF]
During virus assembly, all retroviruses specifically encapsidate two copies of full-length viral genomic RNA in the form of a non-covalently linked RNA dimer.

Both viruses and bacteria produce “pathogen associated molecular patterns” that may affect microbial pathogenesis and anti-microbial responses. Additionally, bacteria produce metabolites, while viruses could change the metabolic profiles of the infected ...

It was only in 1980 that the first human retrovirus, HTLV-1, was isolated. Since then, HTLV-2, HIV-1 and HIV-2 have been identified. All four viruses are transmitted with varying efficiency sexually, vertically from mother to infant, and through blood by transfusion or contamination.
