Variation of Two Primate Lineage-Specific Residues in Human SAMHD1 Confers Resistance to N Terminus-Targeted SIV Vpx Proteins
31 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Sterile alpha motif and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) restricts human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in myeloid cells but is inactivated by certain classes of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) Vpx proteins. Vpx proteins recruit the DCAF1-CRL4 E3 ubiquitin ligase to trigger species-specific SAMHD1 degradation. Determinants of SIV Vpx-mediated primate SAMHD1 degradation have been mapped...
