Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 vpr protein transactivation function: mechanism and identification of domains involved.

Abstract excerpt

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpr protein is a virion-associated protein that localizes in the nucleus of infected cells. Vpr has been shown to facilitate HIV infection of non-dividing cells such as macrophages by contributing to the nuclear translocation of the pre-integration complex. More recently, Vpr expression has been shown to induce an accumulation of cells at the G2 phase of the...
