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 DCAF1.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Virion; Host nucleus

Protein Biology

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 (By similarity). Targets specific host proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome (By similarity). Acts by associating with the cellular CUL4A-DDB1 E3 ligase complex through direct interaction with host DCAF1 (PubMed:29891865). This change in the E3 ligase substrate specificity results in the degradation of host SAMHD1 and TASOR (PubMed:29891865). In turn, SAMHD1 depletion allows viral replication in host myeloid cells by preventing SAMHD1-mediated hydrolysis of intracellular dNTPs necessary for reverse transcription (By similarity). TASOR degradation inactivates the HUSH complex, counteracting the transcriptional repression of proviruses (PubMed:29891865)

Subcellular Location

Virion; Host nucleus

Subunit

Interacts with the P6 region of unprocessed GAG (By similarity). Interacts with host VPRBP/DCAF1, leading to change substrate specificity of the CUL4A-DDB1 E3 ligase complex (By similarity)

Gene: vpx  |  Organism: Simian immunodeficiency virus (isolate Mm251)  |  Synonyms: Viral protein X; X ORF protein
