Disrupting HIV-1 capsid formation causes cGAS sensing of viral DNA
2019-11-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Detection of viral DNA by cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a first line of defence leading to the production of type-I interferon (IFN). As HIV-1 is not a strong inducer of IFN we have hypothesised that its capsid cloaks viral DNA from cGAS. To test this we generated defective viral particles by treatment with HIV-1 protease inhibitors or by genetic manipulation of gag . These viruses had defec...
