The Nef protein of the macrophage tropic HIV-1 strain AD8 counteracts human Bst-2/tetherin
2020-02-07
Abstract excerpt
Bst-2/tetherin inhibits the release of numerous enveloped viruses by physically attaching nascent particles to infected cells during the process of viral budding from the cell surface. Tetherin also restricts human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV), and pandemic main (M) group HIV-1s are thought to exclusively rely on their Vpu proteins to overcome tetherin-mediated restriction of virus release. However, at least one...
