The epidemic emergence of HIV: What novel enabling factors were involved

  • Autores: Müller V, Sousa JD, Vandamme AM
  • Ano de Publicação: 2017
  • Journal: Future Virology

Humans acquired retroviruses from simians, mainly through bushmeat handling. All epidemically successful HIV groups started to spread in early 20th century, contrasting with the antiquity of T-cell lymphotropic viruses, implying that novel enabling factors were involved in HIV emergence. Here we review the Parenteral Serial Transmission and the Enhanced Heterosexual Transmission hypotheses for the adaptation […]

Order and disorder in viral proteins: new insights into an old paradigm.

  • Autores: Alves C, Cunha C
  • Journal: Future Virology

The conventional dogma stating that proteins must fold into a well-defined structure In order to display biological function is being challenged everyday as new data emerge on the relevance of disordered regions and intrinsically disordered proteins. Viral proteins in particular can benefit greatly from the conformational flexibility granted by partially folded or unfolded protein segments.

Virus and non-coding RNAs: stars in the host-virus interaction game

  • Autores: Cunha C, Quina AS, Tavanez J
  • Ano de Publicação: 2014
  • Journal: Future Virology
  • Link: http://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/abs/10.2217/fvl.14.84?journalCode=fvl

In the past few years, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) have emerged as key modulators of the transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of a variety of cellular processes such as development, signaling, homeostasis and oncogenesis. Like their host cells, many viruses produce ncRNAs.
