To achieve this, Gag binds to a region of the genomic RNA that, depending on the retrovirus, is about 100 to 300 nucleotides long and contains encapsidation signals. This region is therefore ...

regulatory and pathogenic mechanisms. The first key event for human retrovirus was the discovery of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) by Kiyoshi Takatsuki and his colleagues in Japan in 1976 (Uchiyama ...

Recent work by Senti et al (2025) reports that retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses occupy specific spatiotemporal ...

Transposable elements contribute to evolution, but their own diversification remains incompletely understood. Here, insect ...

A researcher has discovered a previously unknown mechanism for silencing retroviruses, segments of genetic material that can lead to fatal mutations in a cell's DNA. A University of British ...

Retroviruses are viruses that multiply by ... Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, discovered a mechanism that controls the identity of stem cells. When this mechanism fails ...

A team of scientists led by University of Georgia researchers has discovered a naturally occurring mechanism that blocks a critical step late in retrovirus replication. In the long term ...

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers here have discovered a new mechanism used by cells – and manipulated by retroviruses – to control the making of certain essential proteins, including some ...

HTLV-1 is a human retrovirus that mainly infects the CD4 ... Understanding its expression mechanism could be a key to new therapies," says Yasunaga.

In an article published in Plos Biology, scientists show that the attachment of a retrovirus protein, called Gag, which plays a central role in the formation of viral particles, is necessary but not ...
