NSUN2-mediated m5C modification of HIV-1 RNA enables evasion of RIG‑I‑dependent innate immunity

Recently, 5-methylcytosine (m5C) modification has been identified in HIV-1 genomic RNA. However, the functional role of this RNA modification in the antiviral innate immune response remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that m5C modification of HIV-1 genomic RNA enables the virus...
