Origin of the HIV-1 group O epidemic in western lowland gorillas.
HIV-1, the cause of AIDS, is composed of four phylogenetic lineages, groups M, N, O, and P, each of which resulted from an independent cross-species transmission event of simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) infecting African apes. Although groups M and N have been traced to geographically distinct chimpanzee communities in southern Cameroon, the reservoirs of groups O and P remain unknown. H...
متن کاملGorillas
gratuitous co-authorships that are not only undeserved but unnecessary. Funding agencies don't care whose name is on the paper, so long as it comes from the investigator's lab. Another invidious trend is the increasing pressure on researchers to get not one grant, but multiple grants to raise overhead money for the university. More and more, one's standing is judged by grant income rather than ...
متن کاملNucleotide diversity in gorillas.
Comparison of the levels of nucleotide diversity in humans and apes may provide valuable information for inferring the demographic history of these species, the effect of social structure on genetic diversity, patterns of past migration, and signatures of past selection events. Previous DNA sequence data from both the mitochondrial and the nuclear genomes suggested a much higher level of nucleo...
متن کاملMicrovesicles are a source of contaminating cellular proteins found in purified HIV-1 preparations.
Identification and quantitation of cellular proteins associated with HIV-1 particles are complicated by the presence of nonvirion-associated cellular proteins that copurify with virions. Many cellular proteins are associated with nonviral particles that bud from the surface of cells called microvesicles. Microvesicles band in sucrose gradients in a range of densities that includes the same dens...
متن کاملA Trim5-cyclophilin A fusion protein found in owl monkey kidney cells can restrict HIV-1.
Lv1 restriction of HIV-1 in the cells of Old World monkeys is associated with the expression of the Trim5 gene. Uniquely, in owl monkey kidney cells, HIV-1 restriction is dependent on the ability of incoming viral capsid protein to bind cyclophilin A (CypA). Cloning of the owl monkey Trim5 gene now reveals the presence of an inserted CypA pseudogene within intron 7 of the Trim5 gene. This inser...
