HIV-1 Vpr hijacks EDD-DYRK2-DDB1DCAF1 to disrupt centrosome homeostasis

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
Viruses exploit the host cell machinery for their own profit. To evade innate immune sensing and promote viral replication, HIV type 1 (HIV-1) subverts DNA repair regulatory proteins and induces G2/M arrest.

Development and characterization of ten monoclonal anti-Vpr antibodies.

open access: yes, 2006
International audienceHIV-1 Vpr is a 96-amino acid auxiliary protein that performs numerous activities during viral infection. In the present study, 10 antibodies were generated after mice immunization with either the N- or the C-terminus domain of Vpr ...

Evidence for Vpr-dependent HIV-1 Replication in Human CD4+ CEM.NKR T-Cells

open access: yesRetrovirology, 2012
Background Vpr is exclusively expressed in primate lentiviruses and contributes to viral replication and disease progression in vivo. HIV-1 Vpr has two major activities in vitro: arrest of cell cycle in the G2 phase (G2 arrest), and enhancement of viral ...

HIV-1 Vpr Reprograms CLR4DCAF1 E3 Ubiquitin Ligase to Antagonize Exonuclease 1-Mediated Restriction of HIV-1 Infection

open access: yesmBio, 2018
HIV-1 polymerase reverse transcribes the viral RNA genome into imperfectly double-stranded proviral DNA, containing gaps and flaps, for integration into the host cell chromosome.

HIV-1 Accessory Protein Vpr Interacts with REAF/RPRD2 To Mitigate Its Antiviral Activity

open access: yesJournal of Virology, 2018
For at least 30 years, it has been known that HIV-1 Vpr, a protein carried in the virion, is important for efficient infection of primary macrophages. Vpr is also a determinant of the pathogenic effects of HIV-1 in vivo.

Transport of Vpr to the ER.

open access: yes, 2013
A, Confocal immunofluorescent microscopy localized Vpr at the ER. ER was labeled using plasmid encoding ER-targeted Discosoma red fluorescent protein (DsRed-ER). Yellow fluorescence indicates the overlapped regions between Vpr and ER (white arrow).

HIV Triggers a cGAS-Dependent, Vpu- and Vpr-Regulated Type I Interferon Response in CD4+ T Cells.

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
Several pattern-recognition receptors sense HIV-1 replication products and induce type I interferon (IFN-I) production under specific experimental conditions.

HIV-1 Vpr accelerates viral replication during acute infection by exploitation of proliferating CD4+ T cells in vivo.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2013
The precise role of viral protein R (Vpr), an HIV-1-encoded protein, during HIV-1 infection and its contribution to the development of AIDS remain unclear.

Mutagenesis and functional studies of the HIV-1 vpr gene and Vpr protein obtained from South African virus strains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Thesis (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral protein R (Vpr) is an accessory protein that interacts with a number of host cellular and other viral proteins.

HIV-1 LTR activation potential of natural variants of Vpr.

open access: yes, 2013
HEK-293 T cells were transfected with HIV-1 subtype B LTR or C LTR luciferase reporter plasmid (50 ng), renilla luciferase as normalization control and B Vpr, C Vpr & variant Vpr expression plasmids (100 ng) alone or in combination with B Tat using ...
