Happy to re-post this new addition to our 2019 eLIFE story on how CCL2 extrinsically regulates ALIX and thus the replication fitness of HIV-1 but not of subtype C (pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC65…). Now reporting a novel tool to study this and that CCL2-ALIX axis works in other viruses.

Wow! What a story! I like the hypothesis.

This #mBio #mGem highlights the emerging significance of noncanonical nucleic acid structures in viral genomes. Harnessing the structural diversity of viral genomes could unlock novel antiviral strategies with high specificity & minimal off-target effects. doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…
