The need to broaden research directed at answering fundamental questions in HIV vaccine discovery through laboratory, nonhuman primate (NHP), and clinical research has recently been emphasized. In addition, the importance of attracting and retaining young researchers, developing better NHP models, and more closely linking NHP and clinical research is being stressed. In an era of a level budget for biomedical research at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), HIV/AIDS vaccine research efforts will need to be carefully prioritized such that resources to energize HIV vaccine discovery can be identified. This article summarizes progress and challenges in HIV vaccine research, the priorities arising from a recent summit at NIAID, and the actions needed, some already under way, to address those priorities.

  1. XSUMO-1 is required for normal mesoderm induction and axis elongation during early Xenopus development.
    Akira A Yukita, Tatsuo T Michiue, ... Makoto M Asashima

    Dev Dyn 236(10):2757-66 (2007) PMID 17823940

    We inhibited the function of Xenopus SUMO-1 (XSUMO-1) using a morpholino antisense oligo against XSUMO-1 (XSUMO-1-MO) to clarify the role of SUMOylation. XSUMO-1-MO inhibited normal axis formation in embryos and elongation of activin-treated animal caps. The expression of several mesoderm markers wa...
  2. NF-kappaB-dependent induction of microRNA miR-146, an inhibitor targeted to signaling proteins of innate immune responses.
    Konstantin D KD Taganov, Mark P MP Boldin, ... David D Baltimore

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103(33):12481-6 (2006) PMID 16885212 PMCID 1567904

    We found that these UTRs inhibit expression of a linked reporter gene. These genes encode two key adapter molecules downstream of Toll-like and cytokine receptors. Thus, we propose a role for miR-146 in control of Toll-like receptor and cytokine signaling through a negative feedback regulation loop...

  3. Phosphorylation of beta-catenin by AKT promotes beta-catenin transcriptional activity.
    Dexing D Fang, David D Hawke, ... Zhimin Z Lu

    J Biol Chem 282(15):11221-9 (2007) PMID 17287208 PMCID 1850976

    We have demonstrated that AKT, which is activated downstream from epidermal growth factor receptor signaling, phosphorylates beta-catenin at Ser552 in vitro and in vivo. AKT-mediated phosphorylation of beta-catenin causes its disassociation from cell-cell contacts and accumulation in both the cytoso...
