SERINC5 as a New Restriction Factor for Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Murine Leukemia Virus
28 Sept 2018
Abstract excerpt
SERINC genes encode for homologous multipass transmembrane proteins with unknown cellular function, despite being highly conserved across eukaryotes. Among the five SERINC genes found in humans, SERINC5 was shown to act as a powerful inhibitor of retroviruses. It is efficiently incorporated into virions and blocks the penetration of the viral core into target cells, by impairing the fusion process with a yet...
