Our collaborative study with the Zhang Lab was published in the Journal of Virology (“Truncated CPSF6 Forms Higher-Order Complexes that Bind and Disrupt HIV-1 Capsid”) showing that a truncated form of the host protein CPSF6 (CPSF6-358) oligomerizes around HIV-1 capsid and is associated with more rapid core uncoating. This truncated protein sequesters HIV DNA in […]

Spoiler alert: the gastrointestinal tract is very different than the blood and lymph nodes! The title of the study is “A Spatio-Temporal Assessment of Simian/Human Immunodeficiency Virus (SHIV) Evolution Reveals a Highly […]
