G <sub>2</sub> /M Cell Cycle Arrest Correlates with Primate Lentiviral Vpr Interaction with the SLX4 Complex
16 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: The accessory gene vpr, common to all primate lentiviruses, induces potent G2/M arrest in cycling cells. A recent study showed that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral protein R (Vpr) mediates this through activation of the SLX4/MUS81/EME1 exonuclease complex that forms part of the Fanconi anemia DNA repair pathway. To confirm these observations, we have examined the G2/M arrest...
