APOBEC3G Inhibits Elongation of HIV-1 Reverse Transcripts
APOBEC3G (A3G) is a host cytidine deaminase that, in the absence of Vif, restricts HIV-1 replication and reduces the amount of viral DNA that accumulates in cells. Initial studies determined that A3G induces extensive mutation of nascent HIV-1 cDNA during reverse transcription. It has been proposed that this triggers the degradation of the viral DNA, but there is now mounting evidence that this...
متن کاملDeaminase-independent inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcription by APOBEC3G
APOBEC3G (A3G), a host protein that inhibits HIV-1 reverse transcription and replication in the absence of Vif, displays cytidine deaminase and single-stranded (ss) nucleic acid binding activities. HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein (NC) also binds nucleic acids and has a unique property, nucleic acid chaperone activity, which is crucial for efficient reverse transcription. Here we report the interplay...
متن کاملRetroviral Restriction Factor APOBEC3G Delays the Initiation of DNA Synthesis by HIV-1 Reverse Transcriptase
It is well established that the cytosine deaminase APOBEC3G can restrict HIV-1 virions in the absence of the virion infectivity factor (Vif) by inducing genome mutagenesis through deamination of cytosine to uracil in single-stranded HIV-1 (-)DNA. However, whether APOBEC3G is able to restrict HIV-1 using a deamination-independent mode remains an open question. In this report we use in vitro prim...

care and who present in labor, this time frame precludes the implementation of antiretroviral therapy during labor and delays the administration of antiretroviral agents to the newborn. In many cases, the delay exceeds the 48to 72-hour period within which transmission might be reduced with treatment of the newborn. Finally, the availability of the OraQuick test might reduce the time that caregi...
متن کاملHIV-1 Vif binds to APOBEC3G mRNA and inhibits its translation
The HIV-1 viral infectivity factor (Vif) allows productive infection of non-permissive cells (including most natural HIV-1 targets) by counteracting the cellular cytosine deaminases APOBEC-3G (hA3G) and hA3F. The Vif-induced degradation of these restriction factors by the proteasome has been extensively studied, but little is known about the translational repression of hA3G and hA3F by Vif, whi...
