Retroelements constitute important evolutionary forces for the genome of higher organisms, yet their uncontrolled spread, whether from endogenous loci or within the context of viral infections, can cause diseases such as cancer, hepatitis and AIDS. Correspondingly, this process is limited by a variety of host-encoded activities, amongst which epigenetics plays a role of increasingly recognized importance. Our recent work has revealed that KRAB/KAP1-mediated transcriptional repression is crucial to the silencing of endogenous retroviruses during early embryogenesis. Under the auspices of the present “Bonus of Excellence” award, we will follow up on this discovery and more broadly study the impact of epigenetic regulation on the control of viral and virus-related genetic invaders. The objectives of this three-year funding period will be to:1.Dissect further the mechanism of KRAB/KAP1-mediated control of endogenous retroviruses.2.Probe a potential implication of this regulation system in the establishment and maintenance of HIV latency.3.Explore the modalities of epigenetic control of non-LTR retrotransposons.4.Investigate a putative role for KRAB/KAP1 in CMV latency and reactivation.
