Localization of HIV-1 Vpr to the nuclear envelope: Impact on Vpr functions and virus replication in macrophages
26 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: HIV-1 Vpr is a dynamic protein that primarily localizes in the nucleus, but a significant fraction is concentrated at the nuclear envelope (NE), supporting an interaction between Vpr and components of the nuclear pore complex, including the nucleoporin hCG1. In the present study, we have explored the contribution of Vpr accumulation at the NE to the Vpr functions, including G2-arrest and pro-apoptotic...
