Dear @VP @KamalaHarris: Break your month-long silence

Take action to break oil-rich #Azerbaijan’s blockade of 120,000 indigenous Christian Armenians in #Artsakh.

Stop US military aid to Azerbaijan, start US humanitarian aid to Artsakh.

We are looking for a postdoc to work on HIV-host factor interactions, specifically, on capsid-binding proteins. Live cell imaging is the main focus.

Congratulations @AshwanthFrancis for publishing his latest results @NatureComms demonstrating that nuclear speckles provide an architectural basis for nuclear homing of HIV-1 replication complexes and subsequent integration into associated genomic loci.

Major breakthroughs from the Melikyan Lab in understanding how IFITM3 inhibits viral membrane fusion through altering mechanical properties of membranes. Consistent with our prior work, effects map to IFITM3's conserved palmitoylated amphipathic helix. https://t.co/pQCfKZAPeu

@nittursudheesh Thanks for getting back to me! Unfortunately, the White House executive order blocks all non-immigrant visa entry into the US till the end of 2020. Keep in touch?

@nittursudheesh That's great! Please let me know your current location, as the USA just blocked all non-immigrant visa entries till the and of 2020.

Here we suggest HIV Env glycoproteins form clusters in the membrane of mature viruses, and SER5 (not SER2) disrupts Env clusters. Also, low colocalization of Env and SER5 observed in our experiments suggests an indirect mechanism of SER5-mediated inhibition of HIV fusion.

We published our exciting findings on ACS Nano! Using super-resolution fluorescence imaging to study how recently discovered SERINC5 (Serine Incorporator Protein 5) inhibits HIV-1 fusion

We would like to thank @HHMIJanelia for helping us with 3D super-resolution imaging iPALM, and imaging core at GaTech with 2D dSTORM to visualize how HIV Envelope glycoproteins and SERINC5 distribute on single viruses.
