Structural basis for recruitment of host CypA and E3 ubiquitin ligase by maedi-visna virus Vif. [PDF]
Lentiviral Vif molecules target the host antiviral APOBEC3 proteins for destruction in cellular ubiquitin-proteasome pathways. Different lentiviral Vifs have evolved to use the same canonical E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes, along with distinct ...

Evolutionary Conservation of PP2A Antagonism and G2/M Cell Cycle Arrest in Maedi-Visna Virus Vif. [PDF]
The canonical function of lentiviral Vif proteins is to counteract the mutagenic potential of APOBEC3 antiviral restriction factors. However, recent studies have discovered that Vif proteins from diverse HIV-1 and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV ...
