HIV-1 accessory proteins—ensuring viral survival in a hostile environment

MH Malim, M Emerman - Cell host & microbe, 2008 - cell.com
One of the features of primate immunodeficiency viruses (HIVs and SIVs) that distinguishes
them from other retroviruses is the array of" accessory" proteins they encode. Here, we …

Modulation of HIV-1-host interaction: role of the Vpu accessory protein

M Dubé, MG Bego, C Paquay, ÉA Cohen - Retrovirology, 2010 - Springer

The HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu counteracts a host factor that restricts virion release from
infected cells. Here we show that the interferon-induced cellular protein BST-2/HM1 …

Vpu directs the degradation of the human immunodeficiency virus restriction factor BST-2/Tetherin via a βTrCP-dependent mechanism

JL Douglas, K Viswanathan, MN McCarroll… - Journal of …, 2009 - Am Soc Microbiol
The primary roles attributed to the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Vpu protein

Antagonism to and intracellular sequestration of human tetherin by the human immunodeficiency virus type 2 envelope glycoprotein

A Le Tortorec, SJD Neil - Journal of virology, 2009 - Am Soc Microbiol
ABSTRACT Tetherin (CD317/BST-2), an interferon-induced membrane protein, restricts the
release of nascent retroviral particles from infected cell surfaces. While human …

HIV-1 Vpu promotes release and prevents endocytosis of nascent retrovirus particles from the plasma membrane

Antagonism of tetherin restriction of HIV-1 release by Vpu involves binding and sequestration of the restriction factor in a perinuclear compartment

M Dubé, B Bhusan Roy, P Guiot-Guillain… - PLoS …, 2010 - journals.plos.org
The Vpu accessory protein promotes HIV-1 release by counteracting Tetherin/BST-2, an
interferon-regulated restriction factor, which retains virions at the cell-surface. Recent reports …

HIV-1 antagonism of CD317 is species specific and involves Vpu-mediated proteasomal degradation of the restriction factor

C Goffinet, I Allespach, S Homann, HM Tervo… - Cell host & …, 2009 - cell.com
Mammals encode proteins that inhibit viral replication at the cellular level. In turn, certain
viruses have evolved genes that can functionally counteract these intrinsic restrictions …

C Jolly, QJ Sattentau - Journal of virology, 2007 - Am Soc Microbiol
Human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) egress from infected CD4+ T cells is thought
to be via assembly and budding at the plasma membrane and may involve components of …
