Abstract excerpt
Replication of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in non-dividing cells depends critically on import of the viral preintegration complex into the nucleus. Recent evidence suggests that viral protein R (Vpr) plays a key regulatory role in this process by binding to karyopherin alpha, a cellular receptor for nuclear localization signals, and increasing its affinity for the nuclear localization signals. An...
