Enrichment of Phosphatidylethanolamine in Viral Replication Compartments via Co-opting the Endosomal Rab5 Small GTPase by a Positive-Strand RNA Virus. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2016
Positive-strand RNA viruses build extensive membranous replication compartments to support replication and protect the virus from antiviral responses by the host.

UGGT1 enhances enterovirus 71 pathogenicity by promoting viral RNA synthesis and viral replication.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2017
Positive-strand RNA virus infections can induce the stress-related unfolded protein response (UPR) in host cells. This study found that enterovirus A71 (EVA71) utilizes host UDP-glucose glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 1 (UGGT1), a key endoplasmic ...

Development of a Cell-Based Luciferase Complementation Assay for Identification of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro Inhibitors

open access: yesViruses, 2021
The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 is considered an excellent target for COVID-19 antiviral drug development because it is essential for viral replication and has a cleavage specificity distinct from human proteases.

Plasma Membrane Anchoring and Gag:Gag Multimerization on Viral RNA Are Critical Properties of HIV-1 Gag Required To Mediate Efficient Genome Packaging

open access: yesmBio, 2021
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag selects and packages the HIV RNA genome during virus assembly. However, HIV-1 RNA constitutes only a small fraction of the cellular RNA.

Adaptation of HIV-1/HIV-2 Chimeras with Defects in Genome Packaging and Viral Replication

open access: yesmBio, 2022
Frequent recombination is a hallmark of retrovirus replication. In rare cases, recombination occurs between distantly related retroviruses, generating novel viruses that may significantly impact viral evolution and public health.

Transcription Start Site Heterogeneity and Preferential Packaging of Specific Full-Length RNA Species Are Conserved Features of Primate Lentiviruses

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
HIV-1 must package its RNA genome to generate infectious viruses. Recent studies have revealed that during genome packaging, HIV-1 not only excludes cellular mRNAs, but also distinguishes among full-length viral RNAs. Using NL4-3 and MAL molecular clones,

Endocytosis in Viral Replication [PDF]

open access: yesTraffic, 2000
Although initially recognised as essential for the entry of certain viruses, endocytosis is now known to also play important roles in the replication of, and adaptation to, the host cell of a number of viruses. Here we consider several aspects of this association and recent results that have emerged to support this view.

Exploiting Connections for Viral Replication [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the cause of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic, is a positive strand RNA (+RNA) virus. Like other +RNA viruses, SARS-CoV-2 is dependent on host cell metabolic machinery to survive and replicate, remodeling cellular membranes to generate sites of viral replication.

Potent dual block to HIV-1 infection using lentiviral vectors expressing fusion inhibitor peptide mC46- and Vif-resistant APOBEC3G

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2023
Gene therapy strategies that effectively inhibit HIV-1 replication are needed to reduce the requirement for lifelong antiviral therapy and potentially achieve a functional cure.
