Long noncoding RNA NRON contributes to HIV-1 latency by specifically inducing tat protein degradation
Long noncoding RNAs have a wide range of physiological functions, though their role in viral infection and latency is poorly understood. Here the authors show a lncRNA NRON can induce degradation of HIV-1 protein Tat, potentially contributing to latent infection.
