We are witnessing the destruction of science in America | Paul Darren Bieniasz If we stay on this administration’s course, future life-saving medicines may never be invented

This is a hard read from Paul Bieniasz, the tragedy is that the end of this nightmare doesn't seem anywhere close.

Thanks to the all the collaborators including the Engelman lab (DFCI/Harvard), the Aiken lab (Vanderbilt University Medical Center), the Campbell lab (Loyola University), the Hultquist lab (Northwestern University), and the Balasubramaniam lab (Meharry Medical College School of Medicine).

3/n. In infected cells, HIV-1 integration was also reduced, and this reduction was not a consequence of lower reverse transcription or nuclear entry.

Collectively, this study suggested that CPSF6-CA interaction regulates PIC function both in vitro and in infected cells.

2/n. To study CPSF6's role in HIV-1 integration, we extracted PICs from cells depleted of CPSF6 or expressing a CPSF6 mutant that cannot bind to CA. These PICs exhibited significantly lower integration activity, suggesting a direct role of CPSF6 in PIC function.

CPSF6 promotes HIV-1 preintegration complex function | Journal of Virology HIV-1 infection is dependent on the interaction of the virus with cellular host factors. However, the molecular details of HIV–host factor interactions are not fully understood. For instance, the HIV-...

Exciting news. Finally, our CPSF6 paper is published in the JVI.

Key highlights-
1/n. CPSF6 binds to HIV-1 capsid and promotes integration targeting. Yet, CPSF6's effect on the HIV-1 preintegration complex (PIC)-the complex that carries out integration is unknown.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

This is great. Having similar data for each city or town would add further value.
