A Genetic Screen Identifies a Critical Role for the WDR81‐WDR91 Complex in the Trafficking and Degradation of Tetherin
30 Apr 2016
Abstract excerpt
Tetherin (BST2/CD317) is a viral restriction factor that anchors enveloped viruses to host cells and limits viral spread. The HIV-1 Vpu accessory protein counteracts tetherin by decreasing its cell surface expression and targeting it for ubiquitin-dependent endolysosomal degradation. Although the Vpu-mediated downregulation of tetherin has been extensively studied, the molecular details are not completely...
