HIV-1 vif mediates ubiquitination of the proximal protomer in the APOBEC3H dimer to induce degradation

Abstract The APOBEC3 family of cytidine deaminases restricts retroviruses like HIV-1 by mutating viral DNA. HIV-1 evades this restriction by producing Vif, which recruits the Cullin-5 (CUL5) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex to promote APOBEC3 degradation. Here we resolve key aspects of this counter-defen...
