Vpr Promotes Macrophage-Dependent HIV-1 Infection of CD4(+) T Lymphocytes

Vpr is a conserved primate lentiviral protein that promotes infection of T lymphocytes in vivo by an unknown mechanism. Here we demonstrate that Vpr and its cellular co-factor, DCAF1, are necessary for efficient cell-to-cell spread of HIV-1 from macrophages to CD4(+) T lymphocytes when there is inad...
