VprBP has intrinsic kinase activity and is capable of phosphorylating histone H2A. Recruitment of VprBP by Vpr is essential for HIV-1 VPR activity of initiating the host cell response cycle arresting its G(2) phase following mitosis<ref>PMID:17314515</ref>. VprBP interacts with merlin which is then recruited to the E3 ligase complex resulting in its polyubiquitination and consequently its proteasome-mediated degradation<ref>PMID:18332868</ref>. == Relevance == VprBP inhibition could be a strategy for the development of anticancer therapeutics<ref>PMID:24140421</ref>. == Structural highlights == The interactions between VprBP and Vpr are located in a cleft formed by <scene name='77/776391/Cv/10'>VprBD canonical WD40 seven-blade β-propeller</scene> ({{Template:ColorKey_Helix}}, {{Template:ColorKey_Strand}}, {{Template:ColorKey_Loop}}, {{Template:ColorKey_Turn}}) which is <scene name='77/776391/Cv/11'>lined by acidic residues on one end and hydrophobic residues at the center</scene> ({{Template:ColorKey_Charge_Anionic}} / {{Template:ColorKey_Charge_Cationic}}; {{Template:ColorKey_Hydrophobic}}, {{Template:ColorKey_Polar}}). The interactions are formed by <scene name='77/776391/Cv/12'>hydrogen bonds</scene>, <scene name='77/776391/Cv/13'>Vpr Phe residue buried in VprBP hydrophobic pocket</scene> and <scene name='77/776391/Cv/14'>VprBP Trp binding to residues in Vpr pocket</scene><ref>PMID:27571178</ref>. == 3D Structures of VprBP == [[VprBP 3D structures]] == References == <references/> </StructureSection> [[Category:Topic Page]]
