gp41: HIV's shy protein

Once bitten, twice shy.

Are Galaxies Shy ?

Until 1996, there was little evidence that most galaxies were “shy”, i.e. that they would hide their stars behind a veil of dust and turn red when forming stars, radiating the bulk of their luminosity in the infrared (IR) at a given epoch of their history. Ten years before, IRAS had unveiled a population of luminous IR galaxies exhibiting such a “shy” behavior, the so-called LIGs and ULIGs (wit...

gp41, A Multifunctional Protein Involved in HIV Entry and Pathogenesis

The entry of HIV into a target cell represents the key initial step in the replication cycle of this virus. The entry process involves a coordinated series of molecular interactions between the two components of the virus glycoprotein complex (gp120(SU)/gp41(TM)) and the two components of the receptor complex (CD4 and a chemokine receptor). It results in the fusion of the viral membrane with th...

The shy prefer familiar congeners.

The shy-bold continuum is both a fundamental aspect of human behavior and a relatively stable behavioral trait for many other species. Here we assessed whether shy individuals prefer familiar congeners, taking the European sea bass, a recently domesticated fish showing similar behavioral responses to wild fish, as a model to better understand the inter-individual variability in social behavior ...
