Human coronavirus NL63 employs the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus receptor for cellular entry

TL;DR: It is shown that SARS-CoV shares its receptor ACE2 with HCoV-NL63, which suggests that highly pathogenic variants have ample opportunity to evolve, underlining the need for vaccines against HCoVs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tat trans-activates the human immunodeficiency virus through a nascent RNA target

TL;DR: It is shown that a specific RNA secondary structure for TAR is needed for biological activity, and transcripts that only transiently form a native TAR RNA hairpin are completely trans-activated by Tat, suggesting that T AR is recognized as a nascent RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI
