CARD8 inflammasome mediates pyroptosis of HIV-1-infected cells by sensing viral protease activity
2020-09-25
Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 has high mutation rates and exists as mutant swarms in the host. Rapid evolution of HIV-1 allows the virus to outpace host immune system, leading to viral persistence. Novel approaches to target immutable components are needed to clear HIV-1 infection. Here we report a pattern-recognition receptor CARD8 that senses enzymatic activity of the HIV-1 protease, which is indispensable for the virus. All subtypes o...
