HIV-1 UNCOATING AND NUCLEAR IMPORT PRECEDE THE COMPLETION OF REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION IN CELL LINES AND IN PRIMARY MACROPHAGES

HIV-1 Uncoating and Nuclear Import Precede the Completion of Reverse Transcription in Cell Lines and in Primary Macrophages

An assembly of capsid proteins (CA) form the mature viral core enclosing the HIV-1 ribonucleoprotein complex.Discrepant findings have been reported regarding the cellular sites and the extent of core disassembly (uncoating) in infected cells.Here, we combined single-virus imaging and time-of-drug-addition assays to elucidate the kinetic relationshi

Discovery of O-Linked Carbohydrate on HIV-1 Envelope and Its Role in Shielding against One Category of Broadly Neutralizing Antibodies

Summary: Approximately 50% of the mass of the Envelope (Env) glycoprotein surface subunit (gp120) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is composed of N-linked carbohydrate.Until now, the dogma has been that HIV-1 lacks O-linked carbohydrate on Env.Here we show that a subset of patient-derived HIV-1 isolates contain O-linked carbohydrate o
