Virology and AIDS Abstracts

  
 
Virology research has become more important than ever, as scientists around the globe race to overcome the deadly challenge of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome - while ongoing projects continue the quest for answers in other crucial areas of virology. Now expanded to highlight AIDS studies in every issue, Virology and AIDS Abstracts provides a month-by-month summary of the myriad findings in this information-intensive research race. Comprehensive coverage of the world literature on every aspect of virology in humans, animals, and plants is featured, with topics ranging from replication cycles to oncology. The same comprehensive treatment is devoted to such topics as hepatitis B virus vaccination, viral genetics, interferon, and more - demonstrating the breadth of coverage that has long helped researchers meet the challenges of this field.

Subject Coverage
    Major areas of coverage include:
    • Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
    • Virus Taxonomy and Classification
    • Methodology and Tissue Culture Studies
    • Physico- Chemical Properties, Structure, and Morphology
    • Replication Cycle
    • Viral Genetics Including Virus Reactivation
    • Phage-Host Interactions Including Lysogeny and Transduction
    • Immunology

    Abstract
    Primate lentiviruses such as human immunodeficiency type 1 (HIV-1) have the capacity to infect non-dividing cells such as tissue macrophages. In the process, viral complementary DNA traverses the nuclear envelope to integrate within chromatin. Given the intimate association between chromatin and the nuclear envelope, we examined whether HIV-1 appropriates nuclear envelope components during infection. Here we show that emerin, an integral inner-nuclear-envelope protein, is necessary for HIV-1 infection. Infection of primary macrophages lacking emerin was abortive in that viral cDNA localized to the nucleus but integration into chromatin was inefficient, and conversion of viral cDNA to non-functional episomal cDNA increased. HIV-1 cDNA associated with emerin @@iin vivo@, and the interaction of viral cDNA with chromatin was dependent on emerin. Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF), the LEM (LAP, emerin, MAN) binding partner of emerin, was required for the association of viral cDNA with emerin and for the ability of emerin to support virus infection. Therefore emerin, which bridges the interface between the inner nuclear envelope and chromatin, may be necessary for chromatin engagement by viral cDNA before integration.
