| - | One phenotype of Vpr expression is the induction of cell cycle arrest in G2 phase. This arrest executes by engaging of DNA damage–binding protein 1 (DDB1) and CUL4A-associated factor 1 (DCAF1) to Vpr. DCAF1 is a substrate receptor of the Cullin4–RING E3 ubiquitin ligase (CRL4) of the host ubiquitin–proteasome-mediated protein degradation pathway. Mutations in Vpr that abolish its interaction with DCAF1, or silencing of DCAF1, eliminate cell-cycle arrest. | + | One phenotype of Vpr expression is the induction of cell cycle arrest in G2 phase.

HIV-1 retrovirus is the cause of AIDS disease. HIV-1 is a RNA virus which copy its genome to the host-cell genome in infect cells. HIV-1 infects activated CD4 immune cells and macrophages. When the disease is expressing in carriers, the progressive depletion of CD4 T cells causes immunodeficiency<ref name='Emerman1996'>PMID:8805364</ref>. | HIV-1 retrovirus is the cause of AIDS disease.
