Resilience of BST-2/Tetherin structure to single amino acid substitutions
2018-11-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human Tetherin, also known as BST-2 or CD317, is a dimeric, extracellular membrane-bound protein that consists of N and C terminal membrane anchors connected by an extracellular domain. BST-2 is involved in binding enveloped viruses, such as HIV, and inhibiting viral release in addition to a role in NF-kB signaling. Viral tethering by Tetherin can be disrupted by the interaction with Vpu in HIV-...
