TIME-DEPENDENT PHOTOIONIZATION MODELING OF WARM ABSORBERS IN ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI


HIV-1 Vpu neutralizes the antiviral factor Tetherin/BST-2 by binding it and directing its beta-TrCP2-dependent degradation.

Host cells impose a broad range of obstacles to the replication of retroviruses.Tetherin (also known as CD317, BST-2 or HM1.24) impedes viral release by retaining newly budded HIV-1 virions on the surface of cells.HIV-1 Vpu efficiently counteracts this restriction.Here, we show that HIV-1 Vpu induces the depletion of tetherin from cells.We demonstr
