Identification of a Critical T(Q/D/E)x 5 ADx 2 (I/L) Motif from Primate Lentivirus Vif Proteins That Regulate APOBEC3G and APOBEC3F Neutralizing Activity
1 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
Primate lentiviruses are unique in that they produce several accessory proteins to help in the establishment of productive viral infection. The major function of these proteins is to clear host resistance factors that inhibit viral replication. Vif is one of these proteins. It functions as an adaptor that binds to the cytidine deaminases APOBEC3G (A3G) and APOBEC3F (A3F) and bridges them to a cullin 5 (Cul5) and...
