Our dear @KateDicker4 is leaving for a new adventure. Despite a pandemic & a lab move from @BiochemOxford to the @CVRinfo , she completed an excellent PhD and discovered a cellular protein that regulates HIV particle formation (stay tuned for the paper). We will miss you! 🍀🥲🥂

🧵🧵 This work has been carried out as the @CVRinfo and @BiochemOxford, led by @ManuelGM87 and Robin Truman with crucial contributions from colleagues from the @castello_lab, @FranklinSystems , @ilandavislab and @emi_aeruginosa labs.

🧵We also elucidated the interactome of #Rev in HIV infected T cells. We show that many of the proteins that are packaged with the #HIV genome interact with Rev in the nucleus, likely remaining associated with the viral RNP until they are assembled into virions.

New preprint from the @castello_lab, showing that #HIV packages its genome with over 100 cellular #RBPs into viral particles. These proteins can play critical roles, e.g., PURA and PURB binds to key elements in HIV genome and enhances virion infectivity biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Incorporation of genome-bound cellular proteins into HIV-1 particles regulates viral infection

The initial steps of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) lifecycle are regulated by cellular RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). To understand the scope of these early host-virus interactions, we...

Great talk by @KateDicker4 from the @castello_lab on host RBPs that are encapsidated with the HIV genome! Unanticipated associations with interesting mechanisms that govern viral pathogenesis @RNASociety #RNA2022

Replying to @KateDicker4
@KateDicker4 from @castello_lab will talk on Saturday 4th in concurrent session 15 of the #RNA22 about our work on HIV and RBPs. Don't miss it!

David Attenborough's credibility cannot be measured by human instruments. It is estimated to have a density beyond a neutron star and that a thimbleful of it would crush the earth. The books seem to snuggle in, joyful as they are crushed and absorbed. There is no greater honour.
