The genomes of human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV) encode the
gag, pol and env genes and contain at least six supplementary open reading frames termed …

Like other HIV-1 auxiliary proteins, Vpr is conserved within all the human (HIV-1, HIV-2) and
simian (SIV) immunodeficiency viruses. However, Vpr and homologous HIV-2, and SIV Vpx …

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the causative agent of AIDS. HIV belongs to a
unique virus family, the Retroviridae, a group of small, enveloped, positive-strand RNA …

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viral protein R (Vpr) is an accessory protein
that interacts with a number of cellular and viral proteins. The functions of many of these …

vpr is an accessory gene of human immunodeficiency virus I (HIV-I). Although unnecessary
for viral replication in T cell lines, growing evidence suggests that it is essential for virus …

The HIV protein, Vpr, is a multifunctional accessory protein critical for efficient viral infection
of target CD4+ T cells and macrophages. Vpr is incorporated into virions and functions to …

The HIV-1 vpr gene is conserved among the human (HIV-1, HIV-2) and simian
immunodeficiency viruses (SIV). HIV-1 vpr encodes a 96-amino acid, 14 kDa protein (Vpr) …

Vpr (Viral protein-R) of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus type-1 is a 14-kDa virion-
associated protein, conserved in HIV-1,-2 and the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV). Vpr …

The vpr gene of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is one of the seven accessory
genes that are believed to have roles in the virus replication cycle. We report here the …

The vpr gene product of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency
virus is a virion-associated regulatory protein that has been shown using vpr mutant viruses …
