Abstract excerpt
We previously reported a naturally occurring BF intersubtype recombinant viral protein U (Vpu) variant with an augmented capacity to enhance viral replication. Structural analysis of this variant revealed that its transmembrane domain and α-helix I in the cytoplasmic domain (CTD) corresponded to subtype B, whereas the α-helix II in the CTD corresponded to subtype F1. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the role...
