SIVcpz is found in two different chimpanzee subspecies. Yet only one of the subspecies has transmitted its virus to humans, giving rise to HIV-1. This new study may explain why.

Very excited to share the first preprint from the Ohainle Lab at UC Berkeley! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show PostWe uncover that the host protein CypA restricts SIV from Eastern but not Central chimpanzees due to a unique feature in the viral capsid - an explanation as to why only SIV from Central chimpanzees has given rise to HIV-1.

The Ohainle Lab's first start-to-finish preprint is up! @mchljyng.bsky.social
Show PostThis work was lead by MCB PhD student Michael Young @mchljyng.bsky.social and features important contributions from other Ohainle Lab members as well as leveraging collaborations with the Pornillos Lab (Univ of Utah) and the Sudmant Lab @psudmant.bsky.social here at UC Berkeley.
