Abstract excerpt
We previously demonstrated that the expression in cells of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vif is maintained at low level by proteasome-degradation. We examined the contribution of 16 lysines present in Vif (NL432 clone), which is composed of 192 amino acids (aa), to its expression within cells and to viral infectivity for non-permissive cells. To this end, various lysine-arginine mutations were...
