The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpr protein induces cell cycle arrest at the border of G(2) and M similar to the arrest caused by agents which damage DNA. We determined whether the presence of Vpr would affect the ability of cells to repair DNA. We developed a shuttle vector system to analyze the effect of Vpr upon the repair of UV-damaged DNA. Our results demonstrated that the presence of Vpr...
