Bicaudal D2 facilitates the cytoplasmic trafficking and nuclear import of HIV-1 genomes during infection [Cell Biology]

Numerous viruses, including HIV-1, exploit the microtubule network to traffic toward the nucleus during infection. Although numerous studies have observed a role for the minus-end microtubule motor dynein in HIV-1 infection, the mechanism by which the viral core containing the viral genome associates with dynein and induces its perinuclear trafficking...
