"[To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the premature senescence of HIV-1-specific T cells, we focused here on the expression and function of a group of six nucleoproteins that are responsible for protecting and maintaining the structural integrity of telomeric DNA and are commonly referred to as shelterin. We show that in progressive HIV-1 infection, the two major shelterin components TRF2 and TPP1 are selectively reduced in HIV-1-specific CD8 T cells, but not in T cells recognizing alternative viral species.].
