Low-Level HIV-I Replication and the Dynamics of the Resting CD4(+) T Cell Reservoir for HIV-I in the Setting of HAART [PDF]
In the setting of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), plasma levels of human immunodeficiency type-I (HIV-I) rapidly decay to below the limit of detection of standard clinical assays.

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.

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,

Epstein-Barr virus transcription factor Zta acts through distal regulatory elements to directly control cellular gene expression [PDF]
Lytic replication of the human gamma herpes virus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an essential prerequisite for the spread of the virus. Differential regulation of a limited number of cellular genes has been reported in B-cells during the viral lytic ...

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.

The interferon-induced exonuclease ISG20 exerts antiviral activity through upregulation of type I interferon response proteins [PDF]
The host immune responses to infection lead to the production of type I interferon (IFN), and the upregulation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) reduces virus replication and virus dissemination within a host.

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.

The respiratory syncytial virus nucleoprotein–RNA complex forms a left-handed helical nucleocapsid [PDF]
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is an important human pathogen. Its nucleocapsid (NC), which comprises the negative sense RNA viral genome coated by the viral nucleoprotein N, is a critical assembly that serves as template for both mRNA synthesis and ...

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
