Vpr counteracts the restriction of LAPTM5 to promote HIV-1 infection in macrophages

Here, using proteomics and cell-based assays, the authors show that HIV accessory protein Vpr mediates the degradation of host lysosomal-associated transmembrane protein 5 (LAPTM5) in monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) to enhance infection in macrophages.
