Evasion of CARD8 Activation During HIV-1 Assembly

Ivy K. Hughes, James B. Hood, Andrés A. Quiñones-Molina…·Suryaram Gummuluru

This study shows HIV-1 Gag suppresses CARD8 activation by controlling protease timing, and host-adaptive mutations in Gag help evade CARD8-mediated cell death.

5' cap sequestration is required for sensing of unspliced HIV-1 RNA by MDA5

Ivy K. Hughes, Siarhei Kharytonchyk, Sita Ramaswamy…·Suryaram Gummuluru

This study shows that MDA5 senses HIV-1 unspliced RNA based on 5' cap structure and nuclear export pathway, revealing how the virus evades innate immunity.
