Phosphorylation of the HIV-1 capsid by MELK triggers uncoating to promote viral cDNA synthesis.

Phosphorylation of the HIV-1 capsid by MELK triggers uncoating to promote viral cDNA synthesis.

Regulation of capsid disassembly is crucial for efficient HIV-1 cDNA synthesis after entry, yet host factors involved in this process remain largely unknown. Here, we employ genetic screening of human T-cells to identify maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (MELK) as a host factor required for o...
