Figure 7. Models of HIV-1 Vif mediated interaction and polyubiquitination of A3G (A) and A3F (B).
(A) Two distinct domains of HIV-1 Vif (G-box and FG-box) mediate interaction with the amino-terminal domain of A3G. However, the carboxyl-terminal domain of A3G is also required for Vif-mediated polyubiquitination and degradation. (B) Three distinct domains of HIV-1 Vif (F1-box, F2-box, and FG-box) mediate interaction with the carboxyl-terminal domain of A3F. The carboxyl-terminal domain of A3F is sufficient for Vif-mediated A3F degradation.
