Article Synopsis
- HERV-K, the youngest human endogenous retrovirus, is linked to various cancers and neurodegenerative diseases, and its mRNA requires nuclear export for protein translation.
- The export process involves a specific signal (RcRE) on HERV-K mRNA and the protein Rec, similar to the mechanism used by HIV-1's Rev and RRE system.
- Recent studies using small-angle X-ray scattering and atomic force microscopy revealed that HERV-K's RcRE adopts an "A"-shaped structure, which is crucial for its interaction with Rev and facilitating nuclear export in HIV-infected individuals.
Introduction: The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill was the largest marine oil spill in U.S. history, involving the response of tens of thousands clean-up workers.
