Abstract excerpt
Vif counteracts the host restriction factor APOBEC3G (A3G) and other APOBEC3s by preventing the incorporation of A3G into progeny virions. We previously identified Vif mutants with a dominant-negative (D/N) phenotype that interfered with the function of wild-type Vif, inhibited the degradation of A3G, and reduced the infectivity of viral particles by increased packaging of A3G. However, the mechanism of...
