HIV-1 Virology: Simply MArvelous nuclear transport
HIV-1 MA protein is a viral membrane protein, but it is also involved in nuclear import of the preinitiation complex; the latter requires transfer of some MA molecules to the maturing core particle during virus assembly.
متن کاملMolecular virology and immunology of HIV infection.
Great progress has been made with respect to our understanding of the immunopathogenesis of AIDS and the infectious agent, HIV, that causes the disease. HIV, a human retrovirus with tropism for CD4(+) T cells and monocytes, induces a decrease of T-cell counts, T-cell dysfunction, and, ultimately, immunodeficiency. HIV also causes B-cell dysfunction characterized by polyclonal activation, hyperg...
متن کاملExosomes: Implications in HIV-1 Pathogenesis
Exosomes are membranous nanovesicles of endocytic origin that carry host and pathogen derived genomic, proteomic, and lipid cargos. Exosomes are secreted by most cell types into the extracellular milieu and are subsequently internalized by recipient cells. Upon internalization, exosomes condition recipient cells by donating their cargos and/or activating various signal transduction pathways, co...
متن کاملHIV virology and pathogenetic mechanisms of infection: a brief overview.
Studies on HIV virology and pathogenesis address the complex mechanisms that result in the HIV infection of the cell and destruction of the immune system. These studies are focused on both the structure and the replication characteristics of HIV and on the interaction of the virus with the host. Continuous updating of knowledge on structure, variability and replication of HIV, as well as the ch...
متن کاملVirology
This volume of the Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology contains a wealth of information on the neural control of movement. Overall, the approach of the authors is to stress basic experimental data. Therefore, the book will be an excellent reference source for basic scientists as well as clinicians. The first chapters of the book examine the role of muscle in movement. These chapters discuss rec...
