Abstract excerpt
Many viruses subvert the host ubiquitin-proteasome system to optimize their life cycle. We recently documented such a mechanism for the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Vpr protein, which promotes cell cycle arrest by recruiting the DCAF1 adaptor of the Cul4A-DDB1 ubiquitin ligase, a finding now confirmed by several groups. Here we examined the impact of Cul4A-DDB1(DCAF1) on Vpr stability. We show that the...
