Development of Lentiviral Vectors for HIV-1 Gene Therapy with Vif-Resistant APOBEC3G
Strategies to control HIV-1 replication without antiviral therapy are needed to achieve a functional cure. To exploit the innate antiviral function of restriction factor cytidine deaminase APOBEC3G (A3G), we developed self-activating lentiviral vectors ...

The relationship between spatiotemporal distribution of HIV-1 proviruses and their transcriptional activity is not well understood. To elucidate the intranuclear positions of transcriptionally active HIV-1 proviruses, we utilized an RNA fluorescence in ...

Enrichment of Phosphatidylethanolamine in Viral Replication Compartments via Co-opting the Endosomal Rab5 Small GTPase by a Positive-Strand RNA Virus. [PDF]
Positive-strand RNA viruses build extensive membranous replication compartments to support replication and protect the virus from antiviral responses by the host.

As ultimate parasites, viruses depend on host factors for every step of their life cycle. On the other hand, cells evolved multiple mechanisms of detecting and interfering with viral replication.

Viral Macrodomains: Unique Mediators of Viral Replication and Pathogenesis [PDF]
Viruses from the Coronaviridae, Togaviridae, and Hepeviridae families all contain genes that encode a conserved protein domain, called a macrodomain; however, the role of this domain during infection has remained enigmatic. The recent discovery that mammalian macrodomain proteins enzymatically remove ADP-ribose, a common post-translation modification,

During retrovirus assembly, Gag packages unspliced viral RNA as the virion genome. Genome packaging is usually specific with occasional exceptions of cross-packaging RNA from distantly related retroviruses.

Viral replication is the central focus of much experimental virology and is a significant part of molecular biology. Studies with bacteriophages in their prokaryotic host cells in the 1940s and 1950s provided the first insights into the complexities of viral replication. With the development of mammalian cell culture procedures, the techniques used for

Locking out viral replication [PDF]
Few antimicrobial drugs function by directly targeting RNA. A small molecule that binds the hepatitis C viral genome by 'locking' in a particular RNA conformation to inhibit viral protein production suggests a new paradigm for drug design.

Noise cancellation: viral fine tuning of the cellular environment for its own genome replication. [PDF]
Productive replication of DNA viruses elicits host cell DNA damage responses, which cause both beneficial and detrimental effects on viral replication.

Epitranscriptomic regulation of viral replication
RNA plays central roles in biology and novel functions and regulation mechanisms are constantly emerging. To accomplish some of their functions within the cell, RNA molecules undergo hundreds of chemical modifications from which N6-methyladenosine (m6A), inosine (I), pseudouridine (ψ) and 5-methylcytosine (5mC) have been described in eukaryotic mRNA ...
