Wow, researchers from our #SFB1129 are implicated in the Science 2024 Breakthrough of the Year, because they showed that HIV-capsids are flexible and go through nuclear pores. The latest paper on Lenacapavir-induced capsid damage just came out in @embojournal.org

New paper out!
How can we force HIV genomes out of their capsid shells and what can we learn about HIV biology doing so?
Hint: capsid inhibitors actively re-route nuclear HIV complexes, and expose genomes via intriguing structural effects!

Lenacapavir-induced capsid damage uncovers HIV-1 genomes emanating from nuclear speckles - The EMBO Journal
Following cell entry, HIV-1 capsids enter the nucleus by passage through nuclear pores and reach nuclear speckles with subsequent uncoating of the reverse-transcribed genome and its integration into s...
