Phosphorylation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Vpr Regulates Cell Cycle Arrest
15 Jul 2000
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpr regulates nuclear transport of the viral preintegration complex, G(2) cell cycle arrest, and transcriptional transactivation. We asked whether phosphorylation could affect Vpr activity. Vpr was found to be phosphorylated on serine residues in transiently transfected and infected cells. Residues 79, 94, and 96 were all found to be phosphorylated, as assessed by...
