CRNA investigators focus on the structures, dynamics, interactions, and mechanisms of action of the #HIV-1 #RNA during the late phase of viral replication.
ATTENTION UNDERGRADS📣

ROHR (Research Opportunities in HIV-1 RNA) is seeking undergrads interested in conducting research on HIV-1 RNA during summer of 2024. Don't miss this opportunity to join one of the participating CRNA labs! @BlackInBiophys@SACNAS@ABRCMS
This was a great collaboration with Randy Stockbridge’s lab and @Mel_Ohi_lab at @UMLifeSciences and Peter Kwong’s group at the #NIAID Vaccine Research Center. (8/8)
CRNA member @Mel_Ohi_lab and collaborators devised a new strategy to aid in structure determination of challenging small membrane proteins using the Membrane Proximal External Region (MPER) of HIV gp41 envelope protein. A thread (1/8) https://t.co/xq9yQUzZol
Overall, fusing the MPER epitope to the N-term TMH1 of your protein of interest enables the use of MPER binding antibody fragments to aid your #crystal and #EM efforts. This can be a less expensive and faster strategy than generating new antibodies specific to your target. (7/8)
We are accepting applications for Pilot projects to be awarded up to $100,000 per year! Individuals with innovative ideas to study #HIV with an emphasis on #RNA in a collaborative environment are highly encouraged to apply! More info here

Latest work from CRNA faculty @PaulBieniasz and team👇They established the principles of ZAP preferences for foreign #RNA and used this to engineer attenuated viral mRNA genomes to trigger a protective immune response! Find out more in their 🧵 & 📰
Out today in @NatureMicrobiol work by @DanSalves_. Figuring out the “rules” that govern RNA sensitivity to zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) enables rational design of conditionally attenuated RNA viruses
