Mechanisms of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) regulation: clinical impacts in cancer
BackgroundLimitless self-renewal is one of the hallmarks of cancer and is attained by telomere maintenance, essentially through telomerase (hTERT) activation.

Lipometabolic side-effects of three ritonavir-boosted double protease inhibitor regimens without reverse transcriptase inhibitors [PDF]
Poster presentation: Purpose of the study To compare the lipometabolic profiles of three double-boosted protease inhibitor (PI) regimens at standard dose, containing saquinavir and ritonavir in combination with lopinavir (LOPSAQ), atazanavir (ATSAQ) or ...

Endogenous Reverse Transcriptase Inhibition Attenuates TLR5-Mediated Inflammation
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genomic sequences that encompass roughly 50% of the human genome. Class 1 TEs, or “retrotransposons,” mobilize through the production of an RNA intermediate that is then reverse transcribed to form complementary DNA

The regulations of telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) in cancer
Abnormal activation of telomerase occurs in most cancer types, which facilitates escaping from cell senescence. As the key component of telomerase, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is regulated by various regulation pathways. TERT gene changing in

Reverse-Transcriptase Inhibitors in the Aicardi–Goutières Syndrome
ART for the Aicardi–Goutieres Syndrome The genetic encephalopathy Aicardi–Goutieres syndrome is thought to be due to misidentification of self-derived nucleic acids and the induction of a type I in...

Allosteric HIV-1 integrase inhibitors lead to premature degradation of the viral RNA genome and integrase in target cells [PDF]
Recent evidence indicates that inhibition of HIV-1 integrase (IN) binding to the viral RNA genome by allosteric integrase inhibitors (ALLINIs) or through mutations within IN yields aberrant particles in which the viral ribonucleoprotein complexes (vRNPs)

The Molecular Docking of Specific Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitory Ligands onto the Molecular Model of HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase [PDF]
HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) is a crucial enzyme in HIV replication and AIDS progression. It consists of p66 and p51 subunits and converts viral RNA into double-stranded DNA for integration into the host cell's genome.

CDK1 dependent phosphorylation of hTERT contributes to cancer progression
Regulated telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) activity is common in human tumors. Here, the authors show that hTERT is phosphorylated by CDK1 and that this event is necessary for hTERT-mediated RNA dependent RNA polymerase activity but not for ...

Anti-HIV-1 activity of benzothiadiazine dioxide [PDF]
Antiviral assays carried out on the potent benzothiadiazine dioxide (BTD) human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) inhibitors have led us to find marginal but selective anti-HIV-1 activity.
