Deletion of stem-loop 3 is compensated by second-site mutations within the Gag protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1

Encapsidation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA involves specific interactions between viral Gag proteins and viral RNA elements located at the 5' untranslated region (UTR). These RNA elements are termed packaging (psi) or encapsidation (E) signals and mainly comprise the stem-loop 1 (SL1) and SL3 RNA structures. We have previously shown that deletion of the SL1 sequences is compensated by second-site mutations within Gag. Similar studies are now extended to SL3 and the results demonstrate that deletion of this RNA structure is rescued by two point mutations, i.e., A11V in p2 and I12V in nucleocapsid (NC). These two compensatory mutations are different from those associated with the rescue of SL1 deletion, suggesting that SL1 and SL3 may bind to different residues of Gag during viral RNA packaging. Analysis of virion-derived RNA in native agarose gels shows that deletion of SL3 leads to decreases in both viral RNA packaging and dimerization. These defects are corrected by the compensatory mutations A11V and I12V. Yet, defects in viral RNA dimerization at an early stage that were caused by the SL3 deletion in the context of a viral protease-negative mutation cannot be overcome by these two suppressor mutations. Therefore, the positive effects of A11V and I12V on dimerization of the SL3-deleted RNA must have taken place at the maturation stage.

Dietary Habit Is Associated with Depression and Intelligence: An Observational and Genome-Wide Environmental Interaction Analysis in the UK Biobank Cohort

Dietary habits have considerable impact on brain development and mental health. Despite long-standing interest in the association of dietary habits with mental health, few population-based studies of dietary habits have assessed depression and fluid intelligence. Our aim is to investigate the association of dietary habits with depression and fluid intelligence. In total, 814 independent loci were utilized to calculate the individual polygenic risk score (PRS) for 143 dietary habit-related traits. The individual genotype data were obtained from the UK Biobank cohort. Regression analyses were then conducted to evaluate the association of dietary habits with depression and fluid intelligence, respectively. PLINK 2.0 was utilized to detect the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) × dietary habit interaction effect on the risks of depression and fluid intelligence. We detected 22 common dietary habit-related traits shared by depression and fluid intelligence, such as red wine glasses per month, and overall alcohol intake. For interaction analysis, we detected that OLFM1 interacted with champagne/white wine in depression, while SYNPO2 interacted with coffee type in fluid intelligence. Our study results provide novel useful information for understanding how eating habits affect the fluid intelligence and depression.     

SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol Exhaled by Experimentally Infected Cynomolgus Monkeys

We analyzed size of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) aerosol particles shed by experimentally infected cynomolgus monkeys. Most exhaled particles were small, and virus was mainly released early during infection. By postinfection day 6, no virus was detected in breath, but air in the isolator contained large quantities of aerosolized virus.     

Is Mandatory Vaccination for COVID-19 Constitutional under Brazilian Law?

Mandatory vaccination for COVID-19 has been the object of heated debate in Brazil. This article discusses the legality and constitutionality of such a policy. First, it analyzes the laws, regulations, and Supreme Court decisions that provide for the possibility of mandatory COVID-19 vaccination. Subsequently, it analyzes the constitutionality of a mandatory vaccination policy through the proportionality method to address the conflict between, on one side, the right to individual autonomy, which includes the right to refuse a medical intervention, and, on the other, health policies that interfere with individual autonomy to protect the rights to life and health. The application of this method allows for the identification of key questions that need to be answered to determine the constitutionality of a mandatory vaccination program. These questions cannot be answered a priori and in the abstract because they depend on the concrete circumstances of the pandemic, on the characteristics of the vaccine(s) against COVID-19, and on how a mandatory vaccination policy might be designed and implemented by authorities.
