HIV-1 Vpu Oligomerization in Membrane Mimetics
… Among other proteins, HIV-1 encodes the Vpu accessory protein which upregulates the process of viral release from infected cells, providing an enticing target for future anti-HIV-1 therapies. In this thesis, I outline a conserved AxxAxxxAxxxA motif responsible for the assembly of Vpu into …

The Tansmembrane Associations of HIV-1 Vpu and its Human Targets
… of immune system proteins. The HIV-1 protein Vpu functions to downregulate a number of host cell surface proteins within infected cells. For several target proteins, including the NTB-A and PVR receptors and the restriction factor tetherin, downregulation occurs through direct interaction of …

Analysis of factors that affect pseudotyping in retroviruses
… pseudotyping: the HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu, the Env cytoplasmic tail, and cell line-specific host factors. Vpu has been identified to negatively affect Env protein from gibbon ape leukemia virus (GaLV) in a similar way that it down-modulates native targets, CD4 and BST-2/tetherin. We …

Evolution of viral populations in individuals infected with single and multiple HIV subtypes : a study of HIV-1 dual infection in a high risk cohort of female bar workers from Tanzania
… was screened for using the HMA based on the vpu and env C2C3 regions of the genome. Sequencing was employed to cpnfirm subtypes. Abstract 111 Four of the twelve women were dually infected with two distinct subtypes (A and C). The majority of single infections were by subtype C (n= 4), two …

Data Driven Approach for Increasing Power Grid Situational Awareness and Mitigating Cascaded Failures
… black out.</p> <p>ANN is used to monitor the Vpu of some specific voltage buses in power grid and based on the difference between observed and desired value it can decide whether the communication has been failed due to the failure in communication network or the bus bar voltage is deviated …

Study on 6, 12 and 24 pulses D-STATCOM for voltage SAG mitigation
… has been compared in terms of Voltage Per-Unit (Vpu) and reactive power compensations. In the end, the best design is chosen based on capability to mitigate voltage sag with most stable power distribution. It is proven that DSTATCOM able to mitigate voltage sag by injecting current so that …

Deterioro del hormigón sometido a ensayos acelerados de hielo-deshielo en presencia de cloruros
… fibra óptica. La velocidad de pulso ultrasonico (VPU) en las probetas de hormigón también se ha medido utilizando diferentes métodos y equipos para establecer la variación del modulo de elasticidad dinámico del material. El trabajo presenta los resultados correspondientes a los ensayos realizados …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 diversity in patients initiating treatment in Northern South Africa
… gene, subtypes B and C for vif, subtype C for vpu, subtypes G and C for rev, subtypes J and D for vpr, subtype C and recombinant CRF01_AE for tat, subtypes J and C for nef. Analysis with the three recombinant tools revealed that same subtypes were present within the HIV genes analyzed. The …
