Interplay of ancestral non-primate lentiviruses with the virus-restricting SAMHD1 proteins of their hosts
4 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
T cells and nondividing myeloid cells, and the infected myeloid cells serve as long-living viral reservoirs. Host sterile alpha motif- and histidine-aspartate domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) kinetically restricts reverse transcription of primate lentiviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), in nondividing myeloid cells. SAMHD1 enforces this...
