Abstract excerpt
APOBEC3G (A3G) is a cellular protein that has been identified as an innate anti-human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) factor. One of the major functions of HIV-1 virion infectivity protein (Vif) protein is to target A3G for ubiquitination/proteasome-mediated degradation and, as a result, evade the host innate defense mechanism. Thus, we wished to devise a strategy to restore the anti-HIV activity of A3G by...
