We used our new ivRIC method to map host proteins inside HIV-1 particles, finding 100+ proteins that the virus hijacks to boost infection.
This project has a long history, spanning from pre-COVID to now! Driven by Manuel Garcia-Moreno and led by @alf-castello.bsky.social

Incorporation of genome-bound cellular proteins into HIV-1 particles regulates viral infection
Does HIV-1 package host proteins that promote infection? Using in virion RNA interactome
capture, Garcia-Moreno et al. mapped human proteins bound to the viral genome inside
virions. They identified o...
