The Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 2 Vpx Protein Usurps the CUL4A-DDB1 DCAF1 Ubiquitin Ligase To Overcome a Postentry Block in Macrophage Infection
6 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) genomes encode several auxiliary proteins that have increasingly shown their importance in the virus-host relationship. One of these proteins, Vpx, is unique to the HIV-2/SIVsm lineage and is critical for viral replication in macrophages. The functional basis for this requirement, as well as the Vpx mode of action, has remained...
