The envelope glycoprotein of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 enhances viral particle release: a Vpu-like factor?

Journal of virology - 1 Feb 1996

Bour S, Schubert U, Peden K, Strebel K

Abstract excerpt

The Vpu protein is a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific accessory protein that is required for the efficient release of viral particles from infected cells. Even though HIV-2 does not encode Vpu, we found that this virus is nevertheless capable of efficiently releasing virus particles. In fact, the rate of virus release from HeLa cells transfected with a full-length molecular clone of HIV-2,...
