For more information about the Frost Farm Poetry Conference, you can click here. She taught a workshop of her own design titled "Break it to Make it: Varying Form in Meaningful Ways," with the following course description:
"We'll spend our time together exploring how and why poets create expressive variations when working with formal tools such as rhyme and meter. Examples include the way a poet might vary the meter at a strategic moment or break an established structural element in order to mirror a poem's content. We'll also examine what happens when form and content pull against each other to create complex dissonances that increase a poem's range of potential implications. The class is geared toward writers at all levels of experience. Our main goal is to have fun with language as we think about how poets generate productive tension and build multilayered poems through the making and breaking of patterns on the page."

"Carnival" demonstrates the effectiveness of a "combination of story and song," with each element being used to complement and complicate the other. The poem's external patterning depends on the carefully interlocked symmetry and repetition we associate with songs and their pleasurable memorability, but the narrative itself is oblique and teasing, with the potential for carnivalesque disruption…"

The first time I heard this story was a couple of years ago while sitting in Relief Society. As soon as the class was over, I approached the instructor and asked her where she got this story. I had to read it again. I couldn't believe what I just heard. It resonated with me and my own personal views and beliefs about God. I was so deeply moved by the leadership of President Taylor in this story, for he was not pushing Heber J. Grant to conform and "obey", but rather he was pushing him to think for himself and to act upon his own convictions.

Bootcamp Grad Wins Digital Campaigner of the Year Award
Jade Rogers
Bootcamp grad Katy recently won Digital Campaigner of the Year at the UK Parliament Awards. We spoke to her about the event and the We Care Campaign.
Congratulations on the award! How did you become involved in campaigning for unpaid carers to begin with?
I'm an unpaid carer myself, and in 2016 I took part in a government consultation to develop a strategy for carers, but unfortunately nothing happened with that strategy afterwards. I became really annoyed and frustrated with this because there are many carers who don't self-identify, who don't know about the support they can receive and some who don't claim or aren't aware of the benefits they're entitled to, so in 2017 I started an e-petition calling on government to publish a Carers' Strategy, and from this it became clear that carers were interested in campaigning, but they didn't know how to start. The petition obtained 2,124 signatures, and some carers started to arrange to meetings with their own MP's for support. That's how we began the We Care Campaign.
What can you tell us about the awards and how the opportunity come about for you?
The Digital Democracy Award celebrates the work of an individual or organisation that has connected people with the UK Parliament through digital engagement. Through my campaigning I had engaged unpaid carers with parliament in a number of ways using digital means, this included the e-petition, encouraging unpaid carers to take part in a twitter #AsktheMinister question session to the Minister for Social Care, and organising a Valuing Carers digital event where decision makers, carers and the cared for posted messages of support for unpaid carers during Carers Rights Day. When I saw the opportunity on the UK Parliament's Twitter page, we nominated ourselves for it and ended up winning!
How powerful has the digital world been to your campaigning?
Everyone who wants to be a part of the campaign are all in different parts of country, so we've had to use digital means to connect so all of our strategising and meetings are over Whatsapp and Google Hangouts. Using online platforms also gives you the opportunity to be flexible and a bit feisty with your campaigning – when we did the #AsktheMinister questions on Twitter we felt like it was only one side of the debate so we asked the Shadow Minister to take over our Twitter account and answer questions in real-time for an hour and that got a great response. One thing I made sure I did was to respond to every single message, tweet and post that people sent us online. I felt this was really important so I could build a relationship with them and hear about their carers story, this is something that's often forgotten about, but that's allowed the campaign to build a life of its own across the country.
What did it feel like receiving the award for the work We Care has done?
I saw it as recognition for every unpaid carer out there to have our voices heard in a time where that doesn't happen. It was a platform to tell everyone that there is a group of people who you don't realise are there, we're a group of people who can't go off to a march or be publicly present to get our voices heard, but we can still get involved in campaigning and we can do it digitally and it works.
You came to Bootcamp to learn how to amplify the voices of unpaid carers. Did you use any of the learnings from Bootcamp in your campaigning?
Bootcamp really gave me the confidence to take action with my campaigning. One of the best things was having a sense of community. We were all doing different campaigns, but we were all trying to get people's voices heard to create positive change. When you're surrounded by those people it's so empowering, and that's why I became more confident and proud when going into meetings with large carer organisations after Bootcamp.
Something else Bootcamp taught me was realising that you can be flexible and spontaneous with your campaigning, and also how to do self-care when campaigning and how important this is. Also because of Bootcamp I now have a website! Isn't that amazing? Bootcamp held a conference for all of the alumni to learn skills and reconnect, and within an hour I learnt how to build a website for We Care.
What are some things you've learnt on your journey in campaigning so far?
You have to dig deep and keep going. You never realise the impact you've made at the time, sometimes it might take six months or one year to recognise it, but the important thing is that you did it. You never think the talk you gave or letter you wrote had impact, but it definitely has it just might take a little longer for you to see it and that's something that always inspires me. I've also realised that you get to a point where opportunities come to you – I was given the opportunity to speak to an award-winning journalist who has now written a piece about unpaid carers. I spoke at the annual dinner for the Asfari Foundation who funded my scholarship for Bootcamp, they've been really interested in the journey of my campaigning since my scholarship and they gave me the chance to speak in front of 100 other campaigners and funders.
What's next for your campaigning and how can people get involved?
We're building a bank of carers stories and aim to use these effectively with decision makers. Carers week is coming up on the 10 – 16 June, and this time around I really want the narrative to be about the reality of what carers are doing, so we are doing a lot of work around that. If people want to get involved they can head over to our new website: http://wecarecampaign.tilda.ws/ or get in touch with us on social media.
What would you say to someone considering applying to Bootcamp this year?
Do it. Don't think about it. For all of the reasons I've mentioned, I've become a really confident campaigner and I still keep in touch with the people from my Bootcamp today. We still take time to support each other's campaigns, the best thing about it is the community you become a part of.
Applications are still open for Bootcamp 16, click below to start your application today! The deadline is Tuesday 30th April.

The revving of engine! The lurking shadow!
This is "Of Mice and Sand"!
In "Of Mice and Sand: Revised", lead a band of mice across the vast and barren desert while salvaging junks found in your journey. Seek out "El Dorado", a mythical land of gold, only known as a legend passed down for generations within the Mouse Clan.
The old and worn out "Desert Ship"
is where the mice will work, eat, sleep, and work again... it is their home. It is where they live, and where they will die.
There are heaps of junks scattered across this planet.
Shipwrecks, stained cloths, carcasses, rotten cacti... Selling these rubbish will not make you rich. Therefore you need to "Craft"! Transform junks to treasures! Build rooms, start crafting and sell your works. Craft materials, and build more useful rooms. Crafting! The only, yet greatest weapon in your arsenal to survive in the unforgiving desert! The scraps that you have gathered will be your lifeline during your journey into the unknown!
There are monsters, with strength to destroy ships with ease, lurking in the desert.
Despite their cute appearance, they are aggressive and violent. Encountering them means the start of a battle. It's do or die! Load the "turrets" with "ammo"! Swiftly repair any damages sustained! The outcome of the battle will be decided by the amount of supply, and all supplies can be crafted. Crafting is everything.
In the desert, many mysterious events await your band of mice. They might have to seek out an oasis to gather water, or they might step on a land mine, or they might even have to dive into a pile of dung head first... The path of the deserts are ever-changing, with countless trials and tribulations ahead!

We obey the laws of physics on this planet —
Fiber cables made of air move data at 99.7 percent the speed of light
1.5 terabits per second, with only the laws of physics slowing it down.
Jon Brodkin - Mar 26, 2013 9:55 pm UTC
Researchers say they have created fiber cables that can move data at 99.7 percent of the speed of light, all but eliminating the latency plaguing standard fiber technology. There are still data loss problems to be overcome before the cables could be used over long distances, but the research may be an important step toward incredibly low-latency data transmissions.
Although optic fibers transmit information using beams of light, that information doesn't actually go at "light speed." The speed of light, about 300,000 km/s, is the speed light travels in a vacuum. In a medium such as glass, it goes about 30 percent slower, a mere 200,000 km/s.
"[L]ight propagates 31% slower in a silica glass fibre than in vacuum, thus compromising latency," notes a paper published Sunday in Nature Photonics, titled "Towards high-capacity fibre-optic communications at the speed of light in vacuum."
The research team from the University of Southampton in England solved this problem by taking the glass out of the glass fiber. This results in a "hollow-core photonic-bandgap fibre," which is made mostly of air yet still allows light to follow the path of the cable when it twists and turns.
The methods used by the researchers result in data loss of 3.5 dB/km, an impressively low number considering its incredibly low latency. However, that data loss is still too high for long-range communications. For now, these cables won't be used to wire up Internet Service Provider networks or for transatlantic cables.
The cable uses wide-bandwidth channels to send 37 streams of 40 gigabits per second each, with an aggregate transmission capacity of 1.48Tbps. Even with the current rate of data loss, the researchers say the cable technology is adequate for "short reach low-latency applications," such as future exaflop-speed supercomputers and "mega data centres."
"For longer transmission distances, additional work is needed to further reduce surface scattering loss and to achieve the sub-0.2 dB km," the researchers wrote.
UPDATE: Although this wasn't described in the paper, one of the researchers told ExtremeTech that the cable's throughput actually goes up to 73.7Tbps, "using wave division multiplexing (WDM), combined with mode division multiplexing, to transmit three modes of 96 channels of 256Gbps."

This is interesting. What sort of latency difference would we see, provided they work out the kinks, in something like the trans-atlantic data latencies? I know London to New York is important because of the stock exchanges, such that they're even building that new line to shave a few milliseconds off.
The article claims optic fibre (which is mostly what we use now?) travels at around two thirds the speed of light in a vacuum. This technology boosts that up almost to the full "speed of light".
So, you'd see about a 30% reduction in latency.
However, processing on endpoints and at every router in between would remain the same, so the actual real world improvement would be less than 30%.
I don't think it will be cost effective for long cables anytime in the forceable future. 30% just isn't good enough, and we could achieve similar results just by routing the cables in a more direct path.
But data-centres are another story. A 30% increase in speed for two servers sitting right next to each other would be a great speed boost, and this technology is probably much more realistic at short cable lengths.

I thought the laws of physics were more "guidelines" than actual rules.
Seriously though... I don't quite get it. Is the cable something like a hollow mirrored pipe, nothing down the middle and reflective on the inner surface?
headhot Ars Centurion
Ars, I'm disappointed in you. Propagation delay effects latency, not bandwidth. There are plenty of standard fiber tech that can do 1.48Tbps. That pretty much irrelevant to the story. Its not the selling point of this tech. The selling poing is shaving a few ns or maybe 1ms of an extremely long run.
High frequency traders are probably getting excited. Every one else, not so much.

Now they just need to find a way to plunge these cables straight through the core of the Earth, and then we'll make some real progress on latency .
stei7766 Ars Praetorian
I thought latency DID affect bandwidth, at least indirectly.
IANAN(etwork)E(ngineer), but I understand it as the sender of the data packet has to wait for a reply from the receiver before it will send the next data packet.
I have no clue if this is actually an issue with fiber or not, but latency and bandwidth are not strictly orthogonal.

Sort of, ever notice if you look at an angle at a window it can reflect light? Thats due to refraction. At a certain angle when light hits a change in material, refraction causes a complete reflection.
A fiber has 2 materials, a core and a clad. in this case the core is air, lihgt goes through the core bouncing off the clad. Light doesn't really travel sower then light, it travels a greater distance because its bouncing back and forth, thus seeming slower then it should be.
stei7766 wrote:
There are various different techniques so it depends on exactly what's going on (eg: a webpage download is very different to a skype call) but for almost all traffic the recipient only sends occasional messages back to the sender saying "I've received this much so far" and the sender uses those messages to guess how much bandwidth it should use (too much bandwidth means some of the data will not be received by the recipient, not enough bandwidth is slow).
Basically the idea is to gradually increase the bandwidth until you detect packets are not reaching the destination and then you drop back a little bit. Because other people's internet traffic changes how much bandwidth is available to you, the connection is constantly fluctuating between too fast and too slow.
Lower latency will allow the sender to be more accurate in guessing how much bandwidth is the right amount, but a 30% improvement in latency won't have any appreciable effect.
Usually when advertising the speed of a connection, you advertise it's theoretical speed, not it's real world speed, because the real world speed is being adjusted every few milliseconds by software while the theoretical speed is what the hardware is actually capable of transmitting.
Your PC might have a gigabit connection to the router, but if it sends data at gigabit speeds, the router is only going to send 10 megabits or whatever out onto the internet. The remaining 990 megabits will be thrown away, so your PC really needs to send data at 10 megabits even though the only connection it can see is gigabit.

You are talking about correcting for errors. To explain this in simple terms, you can send enough data packets before getting back a response to get rid of the bandwidth limitations imposed by the "reply" that you mentioned.

In short runs the difference would be very sub nanosecond, which in CPU time would be very sub 1GHz. Not really worth it.
t_newt Ars Tribunus Militum et Subscriptor
The speed of light in a fiber is something like 66% of the speed of light in a vacuum. The speed of light in air is close to the speed in a vacuum.
Suppose a fiber from San Francisco to Japan is around 7,500 miles or 12,000 km.
In a fiber, the delay of the fiber alone will be length/0.66*c=60ms. Round trip would be twice that.
In a vacuum that would be 40ms, or 20ms less.
Traders can make billions by getting their trade in first after learning some key information, which is why all these extremely low latency routers are now being sold (in the nanoseconds). Saving 20ms, or 40ms round trip is a comparatively enormous amount of time, and gives a company's computer a chance to make quite a few trades before the competition.
It also gives you the chance to get in the first shot when playing WoW.

Isn't that why the headline talks about the 99.7% of c, the first paragraph talks exclusively of latency, the second and third paragraphs talk exclusively of speed of light issues, the fourth mentions the science/engineering, the fifth talks about latency (again), and it's not until the sixth paragraph that it mentions bandwidth, when giving a broad outline of the test set-up that was being used?
Six paragraphs in feels pretty consistent with "not the selling point of the tech". I disagree that it's "pretty much irrelevant", since describing the experimental set-up is important. But the article is clearly putting the focus on latency/propagation, and I don't know why you think otherwise.

Btw, didn't some French scientist publish something about speed of light in vacuum not being as straight forward as physics has considered it to be?
30% for the transoceanic hop is huge, actually, and there are already transatlantic links that are basically following great circle routes, meaning they can't be made any more direct without boring five thousand kilometre tunnels.
A quarter of a nano second starts to add up when you see that benefit a few hundred thousand times every second.
A lot of datacentres cannot use internal hard drives for various reasons. Connecting to your primary hard drive over a network cable causes performance issues that this would help solve.

I think once a higher speed trans-ocean link is available, all such users will buy access, thus negating any advantage.
However, the real money is to be made in real estate. If you can get your office at the optimal distance from the exchange (or whatever), you may well have an advantage. Unless the exchange does something like the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and enforce matched latency to all users.
Last I heard, people were putting their high frequency trading logic on the network card's firmware, so they didn't have waste time moving the data over to the CPU to be processed.

Yes and no.
TCP, the most widely used protocol on the internet, does require acknowledgement of data but it isn't as bad as "send one packet, wait for one response." TCP has a "window" that it will use; if it uses up this window without getting acks it won't send any further packets.
So, your effective bandwidth on a TCP connection is directly related to the latency of the connection.
However, there are other protocols (UDP being the next most popular) that don't have the same semantics and/or do a better job of dealing with high latency.

Ars, I'm disappointed in you. Propagation delay effects latency, not bandwidth.
Isn't that why the headline talks about the 99.7% of c, the first paragraph talks exclusively of latency, the second and third paragraphs [...]
But on the Ars homepage the summary of the article talks exclusively about bandwidth and implies the laws of phisics make it impossible to increase bandwidth beyond 1.5 terabits per second:
But how can it add-up? This is latency we are talking about not bandwidth. If the improvement in transmission latency is less than a single CPU cycle, then the data will be processed at the same time it would have been anyway, so you haven't really sped anything up.
I see far more value in shaving 10's of ms off a long link than shaving inconsequential amounts off a short link.

The summary is meant to be read in the context of the headline. To me, this makes fairly clear that it's a statement of propagation delays/latency, and it's talking about literally being slowed down by physics (as in, the signal cannot move at c because you can only move at c in a total vacuum).
Faramir Ars Legatus Legionis
It looks like the difference between c and .7c from New York to London is 18.6 ms versus 26.5 ms. Given that I'm getting 95ms real world round trip latency 8 ms each way is a pretty significant chunk.

No the light really does travel slower in glass. In fact the difference in speed in different materials is why light bends when it crosses between different materials. In fiber optics the light really only bounces around a little bit, and even then only in multi-mode fiber. The single-mode fiber used in long haul networks has a small enough core that photons can really only take one path down the fiber. The dispersion that results from traveling down multi mode fiber is why the distance limitations are so low at high speeds. With 10Gbs on 50u multi mode you can only go a couple hundred meters. On single mode you can go 1000km without regeneration (you still need amplification at that distance though)
WarNet Wise, Aged Ars Veteran
Let's not forget that light always moves at c, the speed of light. It propagates slower in a medium (air, glass) because it is being absorbed and re-emitted. The refractive index of air is about 1.0003 while glass is around 1.5, so by having a core of air the light propagates faster through the cable because it is being absorbed and re-emitted far less often.
XiroMisho Smack-Fu Master, in training
What does the speed of light have to do with bits per second? Nothing surely.
Also, how does the speed of light in glass/air compare to the speed over copper cables? A bit of research says it depends on the grade of copper. I wonder how fast copper is in theoretical/laboratory experiments similar to this one.
I'm... I'm a little scared here.
Copper = Electrical Impulses transmitted through copper wire. This requires heavily insulated lines to diminish loss and repeaters to boost the signals over long distances.
Glass Fiber = Light transmission via a focusing source (The Head End) through the cable with far less resistances and extremely fast transmission rates. Because the cost of fiber is high, the overall use of fiber is limited. Something Verizon discovered when they made a 100% fiber network and then got the bill (Thus why FiOS is no longer expanding until they can get enough money to start up again...).
Hollow Fiber, depending on the materials, may not only be faster, but due to the lack of a glass core may actually be cheaper than fiber optic connections.
The speed of light/electricity is extremely important for data transmission as it is what the data is carried on. Rather than being electricity fiber optic uses light to carry those bits to your house/network. If those bits can move faster than bandwidth and transmission rates go up. So the speed of light has a lot to do with the speed of your network.
Even with all these "100% Fiber" that's measured outside your house before it hits the Hybrid Fiber/Coax devices that translate the light back to electrical impulses for devices like modems and such to use. So in the end you're still using Coax - it's that in between portion that speeds things up though. (Granted you're not going to get a full 1.46tbps.)

First of all, you're assuming a CPU cycle is 1Ghz. A xeon CPU is up to 4.4Ghz these days.
Second, the CPU does not sit around waiting for the network link to respond, it goes on to do something else. Perhaps it will fire off another few thousand network requests before getting a response to the first one.

But wouldn't every curve lead a photon to interact with a reflective surface and slow down? If you had a straight shot through a vacuum you'd have 100% speed of light. If you have a straight shot through air apparently there are relatively few molecules of (what substance? O2 and N? or some special gas?)... so it's very fast.
But what about all those refractive events everytime a photon hits the walls of the cable? Does the number of refractive incidents created by curves and twists impact the transit time?
What really happens when a photon is reflected, and how is that different from when it transits a material?

The cost of laying fibre is all OpEx, not CapEx. Fibre is cheap. Digging up roads and installing street cabinets is not.
mike7 wrote:
In multimode fibres, the photons hit the wall and are internally reflected, which causes some loss of signal and slower propagation.
In single mode fibres, the thing is a waveguide, so it works "as if" the photons go right down the middle, without any reflections at all. This is why single mode fibres have substantially lower losses.
Evolution Ars Praefectus
So the diameter of the fiber cables must be precisely calculated? It can't be too large, it will take the light longer to bounce from one mirror to another mirror and not too small either since it cause the light more bouncing to the receiving end? So anyone know the exact sizes of the diameter are these experimental fiber cables? Bigger the better or have to be the right size?
Exelius Ars Tribunus Militum
Fiber itself is not very expensive. With the way copper prices are going, it won't be long before fiber is cheaper on a materials basis; if it's not already. The expensive part is running the cables from the CO (or neighborhood head end) to the home. It's really easy to do with new construction; you're either going to run copper wire or you're going to run fiber (and Verizon is still expanding FiOS FTTH -- but only in new construction.)
The industry estimates for a true, nationwide fiber-to-the-curb deployment are somewhere in the neighborhood of $100-200 billion. That's why the telecoms aren't exactly quaking in their boots at Google Fiber: it's a massively expensive undertaking, especially when there's no guarantee that the homes you wire up will subscribe.
[quote="abhi_beckert"]The article claims optic fibre (which is mostly what we use now?) travels at around two thirds the speed of light in a vacuum. This technology boosts that up almost to the full "speed of light".
However, processing on endpoints and at every router in between would remain the same, so the actual real world improvement would be less than 30%./quote]
I did some back of the envelope calculations on the "youtube" thread the other day. On a reasonably well-run network, about 30% of my latency was attributable to the speed of light and the rest to other factors (presumably buffering and forwarding).

Quantum entangled transmission is coming. It'll render all of this obsolete.
Betcha!
xwindowsjunkie Ars Scholae Palatinae
So why bother with filling it with air? Take the air out and get the last little .3 percent.
Install the cable. Vacuum out all the air, fuse a transceiver chip to the center of the bore. Long empty tube = empty space, vacuum.
Speed of light restored.
samantha_cs Ars Tribunus Militum
If data center engineers were really concerned about 0.25 ns, they would just use shorter fiber cables. 0.25ns is 3 to 5 inches in a standard optical fiber, and i'm pretty confident there is a lot more slack than that in the fibers at data centers.

i think you have it backwards. Why bother vacuuming out all the air for a 0.3% latency improvement? That's a lot of additional complexity for not a lot of gain.

The methods used by the researchers result in data loss of 3.5 dB/km,
dB/km is a unit of attenuation.
bytes are a unit of data.
What you mean to say is that the light loss (attenuation) was 3.5 dB/km. A given attenuation does not apply any particular level of data loss.
Entangled communication still requires some sort of signal to re-establish quantum connections when they get dis-entangled (is that a word?). Use the hyper speed NO-Fiber cable to reacquaint the qbits at each end. Then we'll be talking about re-establish speeds.

Q: How I can create a button using javascript to delete an action (Facebook Open Graph) the code of tutorial is:
  <script type="text/javascript">
  function postCook()
  {
      FB.api(
        '/me/[YOUR_APP_NAMESPACE]:cook?recipe=http://fbwerks.com:8000/zhen/cookie.html',
        'post',
        function(response) {
           if (!response || response.error) {
              alert('Error occured');
           } else {
              alert('Cook was successful! Action ID: ' + response.id);
           }
        });
  }
  </script>

I need to create a button in the same way but to remove the option of the timeline.
Thank you.

A: Keep in mind that this can only work if you have the Action ID of the item you want to delete. So if you set up your button as shown below, you could use this:
//Button code
<button onclick="deleteCook(ActionID)">Delete Cook </button>

 <script type="text/javascript">
function deleteCook(ActionID) {

            FB.api(ActionID, 'delete', function(response) {
              if (!response || response.error) {
                alert('Error occured');

              } else {
                 alert('Cook action was deleted');
                          }
            });

                                               });
           }

New Protein Discovery Could Lead to HIV Crippling Drugs
TOPICS:APOBEC3GHIVJohns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public HealthMicrobiologyProtein
By Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health January 26, 2012
Scanning electron micrograph of HIV particles infecting a human T cell.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health are studying the complex interactions between HIV proteins and human proteins. By focusing on the interaction between Vif and APOBEC3G, they recently discovered a new protein, CBF-ß, that enables HIV to destroy human cells. The researchers plan to conduct further tests with CBF-ß and Vif in hope to eventually be able to prevent the degradation of APOBEC3G.
A team of researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health recently discovered a new protein that enables HIV to destroy human cells. The finding provides scientists with a critical glimpse into the complex interactions between HIV proteins and human proteins, a discovery that could potentially lead to new HIV drug therapies. The study was published in the January 19, 2012 issue of Nature.
HIV is a small but efficient pathogen that includes about 15 proteins which can act in various combinations with the more than 30,000 proteins in the human cell. APOBEC3G is a human protein that has the power to mutate HIV's genome and prevent infection. However, an HIV protein called HIV-1 viral infectivity factor (Vif) typically associates itself with and degrades APOBEC3G before it can do its job.
Focusing on the interaction between Vif and APOBEC3G, researchers found that another protein called CBF-ß was a key factor needed in order for the degradation of APOBEC3G to take place.
"I've been working in this field for over 25 years and I am certain that there is still even more left to this story," explained Xiao-Fang Yu, MD, DSc, professor in the Bloomberg School's W. Harry Feinstone Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology and lead author of the study. "This is an exciting time to be in HIV research."
"The identification of CBF-ß is only one piece of the puzzle, but it's an important one," said Sean L. Evans, a PhD candidate in the Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology and one author of the study. "The human protein APOBEC3G is designed to weaken HIV, and the virus has evolved a mechanism for defeating this anti-viral factor."
There are currently more than 20 approved HIV antiviral therapies, some of which target protein interactions between the virus and humans. However, drug failure and the emergence of drug-resistant variants make it necessary to further this research and continually expand the number of HIV drugs available.
The next step, now that scientists have identified CBF-ß, will be to test various inhibitors and potential drug therapies to determine which ones disrupt the interaction between CBF-ß and Vif, and, therefore, which ones can prevent the degradation of APOBEC3G.
"Understanding these interactions is essential to the intelligent design of drugs that can fight HIV," continued Evans. "If we can stop Vif from degrading APOBEC3G, HIV would be severely crippled."
