Abstract excerpt
The highly conserved Vpr protein mediates cell cycle arrest, transcriptional transactivation, and nuclear import of the preintegration complex in human immunodeficiency virus type 1. To identify functional domains in simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) mac239 Vpr, we mutagenized selected motifs within an alpha-helical region and two C-terminal HxRxG motifs. All Vpr mutants located to the nucleus. Substitution of...
