Function
VprBP (VPR-binding protein) is a HIV-1 WD40 protein is essential for DNA replication and embryonic development[1]. 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[2]. VprBP interacts with merlin which is then recruited to the E3 ligase complex resulting in its polyubiquitination and consequently its proteasome-mediated degradation[3].
Relevance
VprBP inhibition could be a strategy for the development of anticancer therapeutics[4].
Structural highlights
The interactions between VprBP and Vpr are located in a cleft formed by VprBD canonical WD40 seven-blade β-propeller which is lined by acidic residues on one end and hydrophobic residues at the center. The interactions are formed by hydrogen bonds, Vpr Phe residue buried in VprBP hydrophobic pocket and VprBP Trp binding to residues in Vpr pocket[5].
