In a great collaboration with @hummerlab.bsky.social and the Kräusslich lab: HIV capsid doesn't break at the NPC; instead, it cracks open the NPC itself! Details in Cell: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @mpibp.bsky.social @uniheidelberg.bsky.social A thread below:

#NotOnlyParasites! 2 Cell papers by @edchuong.bsky.social lab & Amigorena lab demonstrate that transposable elements #TEs can exonize giving rise to functional (often shorter) proteins with distinct functions: eg a decoy short IFNAR2 that inhibits #interferon signaling! www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
