Protein Domain : Vpu protein cytoplasmic domain superfamily IPR009032

Type  Homologous_superfamily
Description  The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Vpu transmembrane protein is required for the induction of degradation human CD4 receptor degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum, and for the enhancement of virus particle release from the plasma membrane of infected cells. The cytoplasmic domain of Vpu directly interacts with the CD4 receptor, targeting it for proteasome degradation [ ]. The cytoplasmic domain encompasses the C-terminal half of the 81-residue protein, and is comprised of a few helical turns without an apparent hydrophobic core [].
