Highlights

  • Primate immunodeficiency viruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), The presence of accessory genes are characteristic of them, such as vif, vpr, vpx, vpu, and nef

  • When the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 was cloned and sequenced for first time, the researchers were surprised to find that this virus contained several additional open reading frames. in addition to the prototypical retroviral gag, pol, and env genes; Collectively, they were termed accessory genes due to a lack of understanding of their biological functions

  • Virus protein U or Vpu is a lentiviral viroporin of 81 aminoacid, that is specific of HIV-1.This accessory protein is a membrane phosphoprotein, oligomeric with diversified biological functions
