Divergent HIV-1 Restriction Phenotypes of IFITMs Expressed in Target Cells and Incorporated into Virions
2026-02-13
Abstract excerpt
Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) are broad-spectrum antiviral factors that restrict the entry of many enveloped viruses, including HIV-1, by modifying host membrane properties and trapping fusion at the hemifusion stage. Beyond blocking entry in target cells, IFITMs also reduce the infectivity of virions produced from IFITM-expressing cells, a phenomenon termed “negative imprinting”. Conserved mo...
