Abstract excerpt
Human APOBEC3F (hA3F) and human APOBEC3G (hA3G) are potent anti-human immunodeficiency virus (anti-HIV) host factors that suppress viral replication by hypermutating the viral genome, inhibiting reverse transcription, and hindering integration. To overcome hA3F and hA3G, HIV-1 encodes Vif, which binds and targets these host proteins for proteasomal degradation. Previously, we reported that the hA3F-Vif...
