'''Vpr protein''' (Vpr) or '''viral protein R''' is a 96 amino acid protein which encoded by the human Immunodeficiency virus type 1 ([[HIV-1]]). Vpr has several roles in the progression of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome ({{Wikipedia|AIDS}}) disease, including regulation the HIV-1 pre-integration complex ({{Wikipedia|Pre-integration_complex}}) nuclear import and virus replication in non-dividing macrophages<ref>PMID:12614620</ref>. Moreover, Vpr prevents mitosis of dividing infect cells by blockade at G2 phase, when the viral promoter is more active, and induced apoptosis of these cells in G1 and M phase. Both the activities of cell cycle arrest and induce apoptosis has proven to be independence by mutations that can cause only one of these affects<ref>PMID:28075409</ref>. | '''Vpr protein''' (Vpr) or '''viral protein R''' is a 96 amino acid protein which encoded by the human Immunodeficiency virus type 1 ([[HIV-1]]).
