Abstract excerpt
The auxiliary regulatory protein Vpr of HIV-1 possesses several biological activities which are believed to facilitate HIV-1 replication and pathogenesis. In this report, experimental evidence suggests a novel biological activity of Vpr: facilitation of the turnover of Vpr mutants bearing the L64P mutation. This novel activity of Vpr was shared by Vpr molecules from different subtypes of HIV-1. Co-expression of...
