Influence of Primate Lentiviral Vif and Proteasome Inhibitors on Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Virion Packaging of APOBEC3G
27 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
The Vif protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is essential for viral evasion of the host antiviral protein APOBEC3G, also known as CEM15. Vif mutant but not wild-type HIV-1 viruses produced in the presence of APOBEC3G have been shown to undergo hypermutations in newly synthesized viral DNA upon infection of target cells, presumably resulting from C-to-U modification during minus-strand viral DNA...
