• The Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the causal agent responsible for the Acquired Immuno-deficiency syndrome or AIDS
• Globally, 34.0 million people are living with HIV.
• 1.7 million people worldwide died from AIDS‑related causes, down 24% from the peak in 2005

Vpu
Vpu is an accessory protein
Vpu is a small transmembrane protein (16kDa)
Vpu is encoded by HIV-1 and some strains of SIV

Vpu is involved in CD4 degradation and in the release of HIV-1 particles.

Decrease of BST2 cell surface expression Targeting of BST2 for degradation
The protein BST2 tethers mature viral particles at the plasma membrane (Perrez-Caballero et coll, Cell, 2009)
Vpu promotes an efficient release of viral particles by counteracting the cellular protein BST2, recently described as a
restriction factor of HIV release (Vandamme et coll, 2008; Neil et coll, 2008)
Vpu restores HIV release through down-regulation of BST2 expression
Infected cells (Vpu-) Infected cells(Vpu+)Release -/+ Release +++
The modulation of BST2 expression induced by Vpu restores an efficient release of viral particles
The molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain to be deciphered.
HRS (ESCRT-0) is required for an efficient release of HIV-1 particles

Effects of Vpu overexpression on BST2 binding with Nedd4, RNF189 and b-TrCp
Vpu connects BST2 to b-TrCp
Vpu does not interfere with the binding of BST2 with Nedd4 and RNF189
Conclusions (2)
Nedd4 & RNF189 do not seem to be required in Vpu-induced downregulation of BST2
Interestingly the E3 ligase β-TrCp is necessary for BST2 down-regulation by the viral protein Vpu
In a non-infectious context:
In an infectious context:
Nedd4 & RNF189 are involved in the regulation of BST2 ubiquitination and turnover
HOWEVER,
Vpu does not hijack cellular protein naturally involved in BST2 regulation but rather use another protein with a similar function
Vpu connects BST2 to β-TrCp
