Viral dynamics during structured treatment interruptions of chronic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection [PDF]
Although antiviral agents which block human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) replication can result in long-term suppression of viral loads to undetectable levels in plasma, long-term therapy fails to eradicate virus, which generally rebounds after a single ...

Analysis of the Replication Mechanisms of the Human Papillomavirus Genomes
The life-cycle of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) includes three distinct phases of the viral genome replication. First, the viral genome is amplified in the infected cells, and this amplification is often accompanied by the oligomerization of the viral ...

Microtubules in viral replication and transport [PDF]
SummaryViruses use and subvert host cell mechanisms to support their replication and spread between cells, tissues and organisms. Microtubules and associated motor proteins play important roles in these processes in animal systems, and may also play a role in plants.

Human papillomavirus 16 L2 inhibits the transcriptional activation function, but not the DNA replication function, of HPV-16 E2 [PDF]
In this study we analysed the outcome of the interaction between HPV-16 L2 and E2 on the transactivation and DNA replication functions of E2. When E2 was expressed on its own, it transactivated a number of E2-responsive promoters but co-expression of L2 ...

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 ...

Viperin Poisons Viral Replication [PDF]
Control of virus infection relies on the stimulation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) that inhibit viral replication. In a recent Nature paper, Gizzi et al. (2018) discovered that the ISG viperin inhibits virus replication by generating the ribonucleotide ddhCTP, which interferes with RNA synthesis, thus offering insights into drug design.

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.

Cytomegalovirus replicon-based regulation of gene expression in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
There is increasing evidence for a connection between DNA replication and the expression of adjacent genes. Therefore, this study addressed the question of whether a herpesvirus origin of replication can be used to activate or increase the expression of ...
