The translational landscape of HIV-1 infected cells reveals key gene regulatory principles

A study by Kibe et al. of the translational landscape of HIV-1 reveals alternative translation events, including use of upstream and internal open reading frames, an RNA fold regulating gag-pol frameshifting and ribosome collisions, providing new targets for antivirals.

Spacer prioritization in CRISPR–Cas9 immunity is enabled by the leader RNA

To promote expression of the most recently acquired CRISPR spacers, the transcribed leader region upstream of CRISPR arrays interacts with the conserved repeats bordering the newest spacer, with the resulting interaction promoting tracrRNA hybridization with the second repeat and accelerating crRNA processing

The short isoform of the host antiviral protein ZAP acts as an inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2 programmed ribosomal frameshifting

Programmed ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) occurs in many viruses including SARS-CoV-2 to allow the translation of multiple proteins from a single transcript. Here, the authors identify the human short isoform of the zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP-S) as a direct regulator of PRF in SARS-CoV-2 that severely impairs SARS-CoV-2 frameshifting in cells and directly interacts with the SARS-CoV-2 RNA; interfering with the folding of the frameshift RNA element.

Short- and long-range interactions in the HIV-1 5′ UTR regulate genome dimerization and packaging

Comprehensive functional and structural probing of the HIV-1 5′ untranslated region reveals novel interactions that regulate RNA dimerization, Pr55Gag binding and genome packaging into virions.

Structural and molecular basis for Cardiovirus 2A protein as a viral gene expression switch

Many RNA viruses employ programmed –1 ribosomal frameshifting (PRF) to expand their coding capacity and optimize production of viral proteins. Here, the authors report structural and biophysical analysis of protein 2A from a cardiovirus, with insights into the mechanism of its PRF-stimulatory function.
