Understanding the host-virus interactions helps to decipher the viral replication strategies
and pathogenesis. Viruses have limited genetic content and rely significantly on their host …

The bias of A-rich codons in HIV-1 pol is thought to be a record of hypermutations in viral
genomes that lack biological functions. Bioinformatic analysis predicted that A-rich …

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2/B1 (hnRNP A2/B1) has been identified as a
nuclear DNA sensor. Upon viral infection, hnRNP A2/B1 recognizes pathogen-derived DNA …

Retroviral Gag polyproteins are necessary and sufficient for virus budding. Numerous
studies of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag assembly and budding …

All lentiviruses encode the accessory protein Rev, whose main biological function is to
mediate the nuclear export of unspliced and incompletely spliced viral transcripts by binding …

Expression of the budding yeast retrotransposon Ty3 results in production of viruslike
particles (VLPs) and retrotransposition. The Ty3 major structural protein, Gag3, similar to …

Influenza A virus (IAV), like other viruses, depends on the host cellular machinery for
replication and production of progeny. The relationship between a virus and a host is …

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) packages its genomic RNA as a dimer of
homologous RNA molecules that has to be selected among a multitude of cellular and viral …

Background Combination antiretroviral treatment (cART) cannot eradicate HIV-1 from the
body due to the establishment of persisting viral reservoirs which are not affected by therapy …

Retroviruses and retrotransposons package genomic RNA into virus-like particles (VLPs) in
a poorly understood process. Expression of the budding yeast retrotransposon Ty3 results in …
