CD317/Tetherin Is Enriched in the HIV-1 Envelope and Downregulated from the Plasma Membrane upon Virus Infection
11 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
CD317/Bst-2/tetherin is a host factor that restricts the release of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) by trapping virions at the plasma membrane of certain producer cells. It is antagonized by the HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu. Previous light microscopy studies localized CD317 to the plasma membrane and the endosomal compartment and showed Vpu induced downregulation. In the present study, we performed...
