Published in 2020 at "Nature Microbiology"

DOI: 10.1038/s41564-020-0753-6

Abstract: To avoid innate sensing and immune control, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has to prevent the accumulation of viral complementary DNA species. Here, we show that the late HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu hijacks DNA… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Cell reports"

DOI: 10.1101/2022.02.21.481308

Abstract: Non-neutralizing antibodies (nnAbs) can eliminate HIV-1-infected cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and were identified as a correlate of protection in the RV144 vaccine trial. Fc-mediated effector functions of nnAbs were recently shown to alter… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "mBio"

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.00967-20

Abstract: Peroxisomes are found in essentially all eukaryotic cells and have been described as important hubs in innate sensing and the induction of type III interferons upon viral infection. Nevertheless, it remains poorly investigated how viral… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "mBio"

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.01113-19

Abstract: The restriction factor BST-2 and the NK cell ligands NTB-A and PVR are among a growing list of membrane proteins found to be downregulated by HIV-1 Vpu. BST-2 antagonism enhances viral release, while NTB-A and… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "PLoS Pathogens"

DOI: 10.1371/journal.ppat.1010892

Abstract: Many viruses encode ion channel proteins that oligomerize to form hydrophilic pores in membranes of virus-infected cells and the viral membrane in some enveloped viruses. Alphavirus 6K, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Vpu (HIV-Vpu), influenza… read more here.

Published in 2023 at "Current HIV research"

DOI: 10.2174/1570162x21666230221152633

Abstract: BACKGROUND The genetic diversity in HIV-1 genes affects viral pathogenesis in HIV-1 positive patients. Accessory genes of HIV-1, including vpu, are reported to play a critical role in HIV pathogenesis and disease progression. Vpu has… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Viruses"

DOI: 10.3390/v14040817

Abstract: HIV-1 Vpu targets the host cell proteins CD4 and BST-2/Tetherin for degradation, ultimately resulting in enhanced virus spread and host immune evasion. The discovery and characterization of small molecules that antagonize Vpu would further elucidate… read more here.
