The restriction factors of human immunodeficiency virus.
Cellular proteins called "restriction factors" can serve as powerful blockades to HIV replication, but the virus possesses elaborate strategies to circumvent these barriers. First, we discuss general hallmarks of a restriction factor. Second, we review how the viral Vif protein protects the viral genome from lethal levels of cDNA deamination by promoting APOBEC3 protein degradation; how the vir...
متن کاملCellular Restriction Factors of Feline Immunodeficiency Virus
Lentiviruses are known for their narrow cell- and species-tropisms, which are determined by cellular proteins whose absence or presence either support viral replication (dependency factors, cofactors) or inhibit viral replication (restriction factors). Similar to Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the cat lentivirus Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is sensitive to recently discover...
متن کاملAdherence of Islamic values and human immunodeficiency virus prevention
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is lentivirus (subgroup of retrovirus) which causes HIV infection and it acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV infection leads to low levels of CD4+T cells through number of mechanisms [1]. Our purpose is to review educative HIV prevention and control as Millennium Development Goal (MDG) and WHO's operational goal. In 2000, when ...
متن کاملHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Cardiomyopathy: A Systematic Review
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been associated with cardiac disease, including anatomical or functional disturbance to the heart. Cardiomyopathy (CMP) is one of these disturbances that have been associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. In this review article, several aspects of potential relationships between HIV infection and cardiomyopathy development have been...
متن کاملMacaque-tropic human immunodeficiency virus type 1: breaking out of the host restriction factors
Macaque monkeys serve as important animal models for understanding the pathogenesis of lentiviral infections. Since human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) hardly replicates in macaque cells, simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) or chimeric viruses between HIV-1 and SIV (SHIV) have been used as challenge viruses in this research field. These viruses, however, are genetically distant from HIV...
