KSHV hijacks the antiviral kinase IKKε to initiate lytic replication. by Xiaoqian Wang, Zhenshan Liu, Xue Xu, Xin Wang, Zizhen Ming, Chengrong Liu, Hang Gao, Tingting Li, Qiming Liang

“…IKKε is a traditional antiviral kinase known for positively regulating the production of type I interferon (IFN) and the expression of IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) during various virus infections. However, through an inhibitor screen targeting cellular kinases, we found that IKKε plays a crucial role in the lytic replication of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). …”

Cell-free assays reveal that the HIV-1 capsid protects reverse transcripts from cGAS immune sensing. by Tiana M Scott, Lydia M Arnold, Jordan A Powers, Delaney A McCann, Ana B Rowe, Devin E Christensen, Miguel J Pereira, Wen Zhou, Rachel M Torrez, Janet H Iwasa, Philip J Kranzusch, Wesley I Sundquist, Jarrod S Johnson

“…Strikingly, the capsid inhibitor lenacapavir also disrupted viral cores and dramatically potentiated cGAS activity, both in vitro and in cellular infections. Our results provide biochemical evidence that the HIV-1 capsid lattice conceals the genome from cGAS and that chemical or physical disruption of the viral core can expose HIV-1 DNA and activate innate immune signaling.…”
