PCID2 dysregulates transcription and viral RNA processing to promote HIV-1 latency

This study identifies PCID2 as a novel HIV-1 latency-promoting factor that represses transcription and dysregulates viral RNA processing through its role in the TREX2 complex.

Mechanism of strand displacement DNA synthesis by the coordinated activities of human mitochondrial DNA polymerase and SSB

This study investigates how human mitochondrial DNA polymerase Pol{gamma} and SSBs coordinate to enable strand displacement DNA synthesis, revealing mechanisms that enhance polymerase activity.

Induction of selective cell death in HIV-1-infected cells by DDX3 inhibitors leads to depletion of the inducible reservoir

This study shows DDX3 inhibitors induce selective apoptosis in HIV-1-infected cells, reducing the inducible latent HIV-1 reservoir.

Dual function of HYPONASTIC LEAVES 1 during early skotomorphogenic growth in Arabidopsis

This study identifies the dual role of HYL1 in promoting hypocotyl elongation and repressing hook unfolding during skotomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis, revealing a microprocessor-independent function for HYL1.

Bacterial Diversity in Feces of Wild Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures and Common Ravens from the Pacific Northwest Coast, U.S.A.

This study examines bacterial diversity in the feces of wild bald eagles, turkey vultures, and common ravens from the Pacific Northwest, using 16S rRNA sequencing to identify phylum-level differences in their gut microbiota.
