CD4 Expression and Env Conformation Are Critical for HIV-1 Restriction by SERINC5
29 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Restriction factors provide the first line of defense against retrovirus infection by posing several blocks to the viral replication cycle. SERINC5 is a novel restriction factor that strongly blocks HIV-1 entry, although it is counteracted by Nef. Currently, it is still unclear how HIV-1 entry is blocked by SERINC5. Notably, this entry block is dependent on viral Env proteins. Laboratory-adapted HIV-1 strains are...
