Apobec3A maintains HIV-1 latency through recruitment of epigenetic silencing machinery to the long terminal repeat

Abstract excerpt

HIV-1 integrates into the genome of target cells and establishes latency indefinitely. Understanding the molecular mechanism of HIV-1 latency maintenance is needed for therapeutic strategies to combat existing infection. In this study, we found an unexpected role for Apobec3A (apolipoprotein B MRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3A, abbreviated "A3A") in maintaining the latency state within HIV-1-infected...
