Vpu

1995
Abstract The vpu gene in the central region of the HIV-1 genome partially overlaps the env reading frame and is predicted to encode a protein of 81 amino acids with a hydrophobic N-terminus and a hydrophilic C-terminus. Vpu is unique to HIV-1 and is absent from HIV-2 and SIV (1).

Functional roles of HIV-1 Vpu and CD74: Details and implications of the Vpu–CD74 interaction

Cellular Immunology, 2015
HIV-1 Vpu has a variety of functions, including CD4 degradation and the downregulation of MHCII. Downregulation of the MHCII occurs through Vpu binding to the cytoplasmic domain of CD74, the chaperone for antigen presentation. The CD74 cytoplasmic domain also plays a vital role in cell signaling through the activation of an NF-κB signal cascade for the

Cell type‐dependence for Vpu function

Journal of Medical Primatology, 1994
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Vpu has been shown to facilitate virus release from HeLa cells. We demonstrated that Vpu expression is not required for efficient virus release from Cos 1 and CV‐1 cells. A yeast GAL4 transcriptional activation system was used to screen for cellular proteins that may interact with Vpu. One such protein was identified

HIV Accessory Genes Vif and Vpu

2007
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the function of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) accessory genes—vif and vpu. Primate immunodeficiency viruses, including HIV‐1, are characterized by the presence of a number of viral accessory genes that encompass vif, vpr, vpx, vpu, and nef.
