To study RT-mediated template switching, we forced a recombination event by introducing an extended 300 bp long hairpin in the HIV-1 Nef gene (lhNef). This unnatural hairpin is extremely stable (Δ G = −648.2 kcal/mol) and therefore induces a severe replication defect. We subsequently selected several replication-compet...

APOBEC3G is a cytidine deaminase that was recently identified as the prime substrate of the HIV-1 viral infectivity factor Vif [ 1 ]. In the absence of Vif, APOBEC3G is packaged into viral cores and potently interferes with virus replication (for a recent review see [ 2 ]). While it is undisputed that much of APOBEC3G'...

The evidence on air pollution and asthma incidence in adults comes from a cohort study of Seventh-day Adventists in California, known as the ASHMOG study. Investigators analyzed air pollution exposure in residentially stable nonsmokers in 1977 and followed up in 1982 and 1992. Exposure was based on the nearest monitori...

These in vivo results suggest that both toxic gain and loss of function (R521H) or solely loss of function (R521C) can render FUS mutations pathogenic.
