HIV-1 Vpu Downregulates Tim-3 from the Surface of Infected CD4 + T Cells
15 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
HIV infection modulates the surface expression of Tim-3, but the molecular determinants remain poorly understood. Here, we show that HIV-1 Vpu downregulates Tim-3 from the surface of infected primary CD4 + T cells through its transmembrane domain and alters its subcellular localization. Tim-3 blockade increases HIV-1 replication, suggesting a potential negative role of this protein in viral spread that is...
