A rare missense variant abrogates the signaling activity of tetherin/BST-2 without affecting its effect on virus release
BACKGROUND: Tetherin (or BST-2) is an antiviral host restriction factor that suppresses the release of HIV-1 and other enveloped viruses by tethering them to the cell surface. Recently, it has been demonstrated that tetherin also acts as an innate sensor of HIV-1 assembly that induces NF-κB-dependen...
