Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets CD4+ T cells and of the monocyte/macrophage lineage. HIV pathogenesis is characterized by depletion lymphocytes presence a population in which latency has been established called HIV-1 reservoir. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) significantly improved life infected patients. However, complete eradication from individuals not possible without targeting latent sources infection. establishes infection resting findings indicate that can also be Monocyte/macrophage lineage includes among others, monocytes, macrophages brain resident macrophages. These are relatively more resistant to apoptosis induced HIV-1, thus important stable hideouts virus. Much effort made direction eliminating T-cell reservoirs. it impossible achieve cure for considering these neglected reservoirs, In this review we will describe our current understanding mechanism how such specifically eliminated host.

DNA is highly immunogenic. It represents a key pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) during infection. Host can, however, also act as danger-associated (DAMP) and elicit strong inflammatory responses. The cGAS-STING pathway has emerged major that detects intracellular DNA. Here, we highlight recent advances on how cGAS STING mediate responses these are regulated, allowing cells to readily respond infections noxious agents while avoiding the inappropriate sensing of self-DNA. A particular focus placed role in context sterile conditions. Manipulating or may open door for new therapeutic strategies treatment acute chronic inflammation relevant many human diseases.

Mammalian genes and genomes have been shaped by ancient ongoing challenges from viruses. These genetic imprints can be identified via evolutionary analyses to reveal fundamental details about when (how old), where (which protein domains), how (what are the functional consequences of adaptive changes) host-virus arms races alter proteins involved. Just as extreme amino acid conservation serve identify key immutable residues in enzymes, positively selected point molecular recognition interfaces between host viral that adapted counter-adapted a long series classical Red Queen conflicts. Common rules for strategies employed both hosts viruses emerged case studies innate immunity primates. We now poised use these transition retrospective view specific predictions which face pathogen antagonism those conflicts transform virus evolution.

Retrotransposons have generated about 40 % of the human genome. This review examines strategies cell has evolved to coexist with these genomic "parasites", focussing on non-long terminal repeat retrotransposons humans and mice. Some restriction factors for retrotransposition, including APOBECs, MOV10, RNASEL, SAMHD1, TREX1, ZAP, also limit replication retroviruses, HIV, are part intrinsic immune system cell. Many proteins act in cytoplasm degrade retroelement RNA or inhibit its translation. nucleus involve DNA repair enzymes epigenetic processes methylation histone modification. RISC piRNA pathway protect germline. Retrotransposon control is relaxed some types, such as neurons brain, stem cells, certain types disease cancer, implications health disease. considers potential pitfalls interpreting retrotransposon-related data, well issues consider future research.

SAMHD1 restricts HIV-1 replication in myeloid and quiescent CD4+ T cells. Here, we show that restriction activity is regulated by phosphorylation. interacts with cyclin A2/cdk1 only cycling Cyclin A2/CDK1 phosphorylates at the Threonine 592 residue both vitro vivo. Phosphorylation of Thr592 correlates loss its ability to restrict HIV-1. Indeed, while PMA treatment proliferating THP1 cells results reduced phosphorylation, activation resting peripheral blood mononuclear (PBMCs) purified increased phosphorylation Thr592. Interestingly, found type 1 interferon reinforcing link between antiviral activity. Unlike wild-type SAMHD1, a phosphorylation-defective mutant was able PMA-treated untreated Our uncover as key regulatory mechanism

Proteolytic cleavage regulates numerous processes in health and disease. One key player is the ubiquitously expressed serine protease furin, which cleaves a plethora of proteins at polybasic recognition motifs. Mammalian substrates furin include cytokines, hormones, growth factors receptors. Thus, it not surprising that aberrant activity associated with variety disorders including cancer. Furthermore, enzymatic exploited by viral bacterial pathogens, thereby enhancing their virulence spread. In this review, we describe physiological pathophysiological discuss how dysregulation simple proteolytic event may promote infectious diseases major focus role glycoprotein maturation pathogenicity. We also outline cellular mechanisms regulating expression activation summarise current approaches target for therapeutic intervention.
