Abstract excerpt
The viral protein, Vif, is essential for the production of infectious progeny virions in natural target cells of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Several recent reports indicate that Vif acts by antagonizing the activity of an endogenous human antiviral protein, APOBEC3G. To investigate this route to restrict HIV-1 infection, we employed mutagenesis to assess APOBEC3G function during HIV-1 infection...
