HIV-2 viral protein X (Vpx) plays a pivotal role in antagonizing the host restriction factors, including SAMHD1 and components of the HUSH complex, to facilitate viral replication. However, the regulatory mechanisms controlling Vpx stability remain unclear. In this study, we identify the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor as a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase that specifically targets Vpx for proteasomal degradation. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that VHL-mediated degradation depends on the oxy ...[more]
