Table 1. Mechanisms of HIV-1 evasion.
Restriction factors are listed with the major adaptive strategy that HIV-1 employs to evade their restriction.
Restriction Factors | HIV-1 Evasion Mechanism |
---|---|
| |
SAMHD1 [36] | Vpx inhibits SAMHD1 by reqcruting an E3 ligase leading to its ubinylation and degradation |
APOBEC3 [67] | Vif inhibits APOBEC by leading to its polyubiquination and proteosomal degradation |
MX2 [74] | Capsid mutates to evade interaction with MX2 binding loop |
SERINC3/5 [90] | Nef inhibts SERINC3/5 by decreasing its incorporation into virions and redeistributing the proteins into an endocytic compartment |
Tetherin [80] | Vpu inhibits trafficking of tetherin to the surface and promotes its ubinylation and degradation |
