Non-Structural Protein 5 of Zika Virus Interacts with p53 in Human Neural Progenitor Cells and Induces p53-Mediated Apoptosis
Zika virus (ZIKV) infection could disrupt neurogenesis and cause microcephaly in neonates by targeting neural progenitor cells (NPCs). The tumor suppressor p53-mediated cell cycle arrest and apoptotic cell dea...

Open AccessCCR5 editing by Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 in human primary CD4+ T cells and hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells promotes HIV-1 resistance and CD4+ T cell enrichment in humanized mice
The chemokine receptor CCR5, which belongs to the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors, is the major co-receptor for HIV-1 entry. Individuals with a homozygous CCR5Δ32 mutation have a long lasting and incre...

PTEN-L promotes type I interferon responses and antiviral immunity
Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN) is a well-known tumor suppressor that acts as a dual-specificity phosphatase and is frequently mutated in human cancer. Our previous work has dem...

Open AccessGenome modification of CXCR4 by Staphylococcus aureus Cas9 renders cells resistance to HIV-1 infection
The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been widely used for genome editing in mammalian cells. CXCR4 is a co-receptor for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) entry, and loss of CXCR4 function can protect cells from C...

Open AccessImmune regulator ABIN1 suppresses HIV-1 transcription by negatively regulating the ubiquitination of Tat
A20-binding inhibitor of NF-κB activation (ABIN1), an important immune regulator, was previously shown to be involved in HIV-1 replication. However, the reported studies done with overexpressed ABIN1 provided ...
