Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Vpr Mediates Degradation of APC1, a Scaffolding Component of the Anaphase-Promoting Complex/Cyclosome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The function of the Vpr accessory protein during HIV-1 infection remains poorly defined. Several cellular targets of Vpr were previously identified, but their individual degradation does not fully explain the ability of Vpr to impair the cell cycle or promote HIV-1 replication in macrophages. Here, we used the unbiased proximity labeling approach, called BioID, to further define the Vpr proximity interaction network and identified several potentially new Vpr partners/targets. We validated our approach by focusing on a cell cycle master regulator, the APC/C complex, and demonstrated that Vpr mediated the degradation of a critical scaffolding component of APC/C called APC1. Furthermore, we showed that targeting of APC/C by Vpr did not impact the known activity of Vpr. Since degradation of APC1 is a conserved feature of several primary variants of Vpr, it is likely that the interplay between Vpr and APC/C governs other aspects of HIV-1 pathogenesis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
