    Lenacapavir-induced lattice hyperstabilization is central to HIV-1 capsid failure at the nuclear pore complex and in the cytoplasm

    Arpa Hudait, Ryan C Burdick ... Gregory A Voth
    Lenacapavir disrupts HIV-1 capsid elasticity, inducing mechanical rupture at the nuclear pore, highlighting that altering viral material properties can be a viable antiviral drug design strategy.

    Conformational variability of HIV-1 Env trimer and viral vulnerability

    Yiwei Cao, Wonpil Im
    Large-scale all-atom simulations of a full-length, glycosylated HIV-1 Env trimer in an asymmetric membrane reveal a rigid ectodomain and highly diverse conformational landscapes in the membrane-proximal region and transmembrane domain.

    Structural insights into the recruitment of viral type 2 IRES to ribosomal preinitiation complex for protein synthesis

    Deepakash Das, Tanweer Hussain
    The viral type 2 internal ribosome entry site uses a unique mechanism to hijack the host ribosomal machinery by interacting with initiator tRNA and 40S head.

    Intraflagellar transport protein IFT172 contains a C-terminal ubiquitin-binding U-box-like domain involved in ciliary signaling

    Nevin K Zacharia, Stefanie Kuhns ... Esben Lorentzen
    The IFT172 C-terminus bridges IFT-A and IFT-B complexes through mutually exclusive interactions with IFT140 and IFT144, and harbors a U-box-like domain linking intraflagellar transport to ubiquitin-dependent ciliary signaling.
