The HIV-1 Accessory Protein Vpu Downregulates Peroxisome Biogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) establishes lifelong infections in humans, a process that relies on its ability to thwart innate and adaptive immune defenses of the host. Recently, we reported that HIV-1 infection results in a dramatic reduction of the cellular peroxisome pool. Peroxisomes are metabolic organelles that also function as signaling platforms in the innate immune response. Here, we show...
