Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Vpu Protein Interacts with CD74 and Modulates Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II Presentation
24 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpu accessory protein is a transmembrane protein that down regulates CD4 expression and promotes the release of new virions. We screened a human leukocyte-specific yeast two-hybrid expression library to discover novel Vpu-interacting cellular proteins. The major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) invariant chain, also called Ii or CD74, was found to be one...
