Synthetic transmembrane DNA receptors enable engineered sensing and actuation by Ze-Rui Zhou, Man-Sha Wu, Zhenglin Yang, Yuting Wu, Weijie Guo, Da-Wei Li, Ruo-Can Qian, Yi Lu

“…Abstract In living organisms, cells synergistically couple cascade reaction pathways to achieve inter- and intracellular signal transduction by transmembrane protein receptors. The construction and assembly of synthetic receptor analogs that can mimic such biological processes is a central goal of synthetic biochemistry and bionanotechnology to endow receptors with user-defined signal transduction effects. …”

Release of P-TEFb from the Super Elongation Complex promotes HIV-1 latency reversal. by William J Cisneros, Shimaa H A Soliman, Miriam Walter, Lacy M Simons, Daphne Cornish, Simone De Fabritiis, Ariel W Halle, Eun-Young Kim, Steven M Wolinsky, Ramon Lorenzo-Redondo, Ali Shilatifard, Judd F Hultquist

“…KL-2 acts synergistically with other latency reversing agents (LRAs) to reactivate viral transcription in several cell line models of latency in a manner that is, at least in part, dependent on the viral Tat protein. Finally, we demonstrate that KL-2 enhances viral reactivation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from people living with HIV (PLWH) on suppressive ART, most notably in combination with inhibitor of apoptosis protein antagonists (IAPi). …”
