Target Background

Function

Plays a role in nuclear translocation of the viral pre-integration complex (PIC), thus is required for the virus to infect non-dividing cells. Targets specific host proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome. Acts by associating with the cellular CUL4A-DDB1 E3 ligase complex through direct interaction with host VPRPB/DCAF-1. This change in the E3 ligase substrate specificity results in the degradation of host SAMHD1. In turn, SAMHD1 depletion allows viral replication in host myeloid cells by preventing SAMHD1-mediated hydrolysis of intracellular dNTPs necessary for reverse transcription.

These results indicate that Vpx, in addition to SAMHD1, overcomes a previously unappreciated restriction for lentiviruses at the level of reverse transcription (RT)that acts independently of dNTP concentrations and is specific to resting CD4 T cells. PMID: 28228523
zinc binding appears to mitigate flexibility of the three-helix fold of Vpx, thereby preventing dysfunction. PMID: 28284276
Data indicate that proline residue P109 within the C-terminal poly-proline motif (PPM) of Vpx protein plays a unique role in the regulation of SAM domain and HD domain 1 protein SAMHD1 degradation. PMID: 25936766
