HIV-1 Infection Is Blocked at an Early Stage in Cells Devoid of Mitochondrial DNA

Human immunodeficiency virus type I (HIV-1) exploits various host cellular pathways for efficient infection. Here we report that the absence of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in ρ(0) cells markedly attenuates HIV-1 infection. Importantly, reduced infection efficiency in ρ(0) cells is not simply the resul...
