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 Public Health and HIV (Report on the world AIDS epidemic agency, ONUSIDA, 2012)

Vpu: an accessory protein of HIV-1 Genome of HIV-1 Rev R U5 GAG Vif Tat R U3 POL Vpr Vpu ENV Nef 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: an accessory protein of HIV-1 • Vpu is involved in CD4 degradation and in the release of HIV-1 particles. • Vpu promotes an efficient release of viral particles by counteracting the cellular protein BST2, recently described as a restriction factorof HIV release (Vandamme et coll, 2008; Neil et coll, 2008) From Perez-Caballero et coll, Cell, 2009 The protein BST2 tethers mature viral particlesat the plasma membrane(Perrez-Caballero et coll, Cell, 2009) BST2 From Bienasz et coll, Cell Hostand Microbe, 2009 Vpu restores HIV release through down-regulation of BST2 expression • Decrease of BST2 cell surface expression • Targeting of BST2 for degradation Vandamme et coll, Cell Host and Microbe, 2008 Miyagi et coll, PNAS, 2009

Conclusions (2) In a non-infectiouscontext: • Nedd4 & RNF189 are involved in the regulation of BST2 ubiquitination and turnover HOWEVER, In an infectiouscontext: • Nedd4 & RNF189 do not seem to berequiredin Vpu-induceddownregulation of BST2 • Interestingly the E3 ligase β-TrCp is necessary for BST2 down-regulation by the viral protein Vpu • TrCp is specifically hijacked by Vpu to interact with BST2 Vpudoes not hijack cellular proteinnaturallyinvolved in BST2 regulation but rather use anotherproteinwith a similarfunction
