Mutation in the loop C-terminal to the cyclophilin A binding site of HIV-1 capsid protein disrupts proper virus assembly and infectivitySamir Abdurahman
Division of Clinical Microbiology, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospial, Stockholm, Sweden
Retrovirology 4:19. 2007....
A historical reflection on the discovery of human retrovirusesAnders Vahlne
Clinical Virology and Division of Clinical Microbiology, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Retrovirology 6:40. 2009..However, the proof that a new human retrovirus (HIV-1) was the cause of AIDS was first established in four publications by Gallo's group in the May 4th issue of Science in 1984...
Activity of the small modified amino acid alpha-hydroxy glycineamide on in vitro and in vivo human immunodeficiency virus type 1 capsid assembly and infectivitySamir Abdurahman
Division of Clinical Microbiology, Karolinska Institutet, F68 Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge, SE 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden
Antimicrob Agents Chemother 52:3737-44. 2008..As an antiviral compound, alpha-HGA has an unusually simple structure, a pronounced antiviral specificity, and a novel mechanism of antiviral action. As such, it might prove to be a lead compound for a new class of anti-HIV substances...
Isolation and characterization of a small antiretroviral molecule affecting HIV-1 capsid morphologySamir Abdurahman
Division of Clinical Microbiology, Karolinska Institutet, F68 Karolinska University Hospital Huddinge, SE 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden
Retrovirology 6:34. 2009..We have previously described that glycineamide (G-NH2) when added to the culture medium of infected cells induces non-infectious HIV-1 particles with aberrant core structures...
Selected amino acid substitutions in the C-terminal region of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 capsid protein affect virus assembly and releaseSamir Abdurahman
Division of Clinical Virology, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
J Gen Virol 85:2903-13. 2004..These results indicate that the two conserved sequences in the C-terminal CA domain are essential for proper morphogenesis and infectivity of HIV-1 particles...
GPG-NH2 acts via the metabolite alphaHGA to target HIV-1 Env to the ER-associated protein degradation pathwayAlenka Jejcic
Department of Laboratory Medicine, Division of Clinical Microbiology, Karolinska Institutet, SE 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden
Retrovirology 7:20. 2010..In accordance, we wanted to investigate whether the targeting of gp160 to the ERAD pathway by GPG-NH2 was attributed to its metabolite alphaHGA...
Characterization of the invariable residue 51 mutations of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 capsid protein on in vitro CA assembly and infectivitySamir Abdurahman
Division of Clinical Virology, Karolinska Institutet, F68 Karolinska University Hospital, SE 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden
Retrovirology 4:69. 2007..Thus, previous substitution mutation of Asp51 to alanine (D51A) has shown to be lethal and that this invariable residue was found essential for tube formation in vitro, virus replication and virus capsid formation...
Small molecule targets Env for endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein degradation and inhibits human immunodeficiency virus type 1 propagationAlenka Jejcic
Department of Laboratory Medicine, Division of Clinical Microbiology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, SE 141 86, Sweden
J Virol 83:10075-84. 2009..These findings illustrate that nontoxic drugs such as GPG-NH(2), which can selectively target glycoproteins to existing cellular degradation pathways, may be useful for pathogen therapy...
Neutralization of HIV-1 by redirection of natural antibodiesMaria F Perdomo
Division of Clinical Microbiology, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital at Huddinge F 68, SE 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105:12515-20. 2008..Thus, the temporary redirection of naturally occurring antibodies and their biological activities to a new antigen represents a completely new way of targeting a human disease...
Intracellular high mobility group B1 protein (HMGB1) represses HIV-1 LTR-directed transcription in a promoter- and cell-specific mannerMojgan H Naghavi
Division of Clinical Virology, F68, Karolinska Institutet, Huddinge University Hospital, S 141 86 Stockholm, Sweden
Virology 314:179-89. 2003..Thus, intracellular HMGB1 affects HIV-1 LTR-directed transcription in a promoter- and cell-specific manner...
