Lentiviral accessory proteins Vpx and Vpr, viral countermeasures to host cell defences. (360G-Wellcome-108014_Z_15_Z)

£731,919

Vpx and Vpr are lentiviral accessory proteins essential for optimal virus replication. They implement the destruction of host-cell defence proteins that would otherwise inhibit virus replication. Our primary objective is to understand Vpx/Vpr function at the molecular level. To address this question we will ask: (i) how Vpx/Vpr interact with their cellular targets (ii) whether we can change the activities of these cellular factors by modulating interactions through Vpx/Vpr (iii) the consequen ces for virus and host of altering these activities
