Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is the cause of AIDS. In recent years it has emerged that cellular interferon-stimulated genes (ISG), play important roles in cell-intrinsic restriction of HIV replication. A publication now describes a novel strategy employed by HIV-infected cells to restrict viral replication, which involves inhibition of viral mRNA translation by the ISG Schlafen 11.
