HIV-1 Vpu promotes release and prevents endocytosis of nascent retrovirus particles from the plasma membrane.

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type-1 viral protein U (Vpu) protein enhances the release of diverse retroviruses from human, but not monkey, cells and is thought to do so by ablating a dominant restriction to particle release. Here, we determined how Vpu expression affects the subcellular di...
