Nuclear restriction of HIV-1 infection by SUN1

Abstract Overexpression of the human Sad-1-Unc-84 homology protein 2 (SUN2) blocks HIV-1 infection in a capsid-dependent manner. In agreement, we showed that overexpression of SUN1 (Sad1 and UNC-84a) also blocks HIV-1 infection in a capsid-dependent manner. SUN2 and the related protein SUN1 are tran...
