HIV-1 viral protein R (Vpr) regulates viral replication and cellular proliferation in T cells and monocytoid cells in vitro
1 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
Among the putative accessory genes of HIV-1, the 96-amino-acid virion-associated vpr gene product has been described to have several novel biological activities. These include cytoplasmic-to-nuclear translocation, which empowers HIV to infect and replicate in non-dividing cells and to increase viral replication, particularly in macrophages. Along with these viral effects, we found that HIV-1 Vpr induces dramatic...
