Journal ArticleSTAR protocols · March 2023
Here, we provide a protocol to model the effects of changes to a small number of cells, such as those arising from a mutation or a virus infection, in stratified epithelia. We describe steps for diluting engineered human keratinocytes into a larger populat ...

Interactions between lysyl-tRNA synthetase (LysRS) and HIV-1 Gag facilitate selective packaging of the HIV-1 reverse transcription primer, tRNALys3. During HIV-1 infection, LysRS is phosphorylated at S207, released from a multi-aminoacyl-tRNA sy ...

Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection of stratified squamous epithelial cells causes nearly 5% of cancer cases worldwide. HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers harbor few mutations in the Hippo signaling pathway compared to HPV-negative cancers at t ...

Infection with the flavivirus Zika virus (ZIKV) can result in tissue tropism, disease outcome, and route of transmission distinct from those of other flaviviruses; therefore, we aimed to identify host machinery that exclusively promotes the ZIKV replicatio ...

The human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 oncoprotein is a primary driver of HPV-mediated carcinogenesis. The E7 proteins from diverse HPVs bind to the host cellular nonreceptor protein tyrosine phosphatase type 14 (PTPN14) and direct it for degradation through th ...

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 proteins enable oncogenic transformation of HPV-infected cells by inactivating host cellular proteins. High-risk but not low-risk HPV E7 target PTPN14 for proteolytic degradation, suggesting that PTPN14 degradation m ...

Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is the first retrovirus that has conclusively been shown to cause human diseases. In HIV-1, specific interactions between the nucleocapsid (NC) domain of the Gag protein and genomic RNA (gRNA) mediate gRNA dimeri ...

A hallmark of retroviruses such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is reverse transcription of genomic RNA to DNA, a process that is primed by cellular tRNAs. HIV-1 recruits human tRNALys3 to serve as the reverse transcription primer ...
