Targets specific host proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome. Acts by associating with the cellular CUL4A-DDB1 E3 ligase complex through direct interaction with host VPRPB/DCAF-1. This change in the E3 ligase substrate specificity results in the degradation of host SAMHD1. In turn, SAMHD1 depletion allows viral replication in host myeloid cells by preventing SAMHD1-mediated hydrolysis of intracellular dNTPs necessary for reverse transcription.Nuclear localization signal657200MSDPRERIPPGNSGEETIGEAFDWLDRTVEEINRAAVNHLPRELIFQVWRRSWEYWHDEMGMSVSYTKYRYLCLIQKAMFMHCKKGCRCLGGEHGAGGWRPGPPPPPPPGLA14cc9B14disorder124cc9B590order134cc9B9199disorder144cc9B100111order154cc9B112112disorder114cc9X-RAY7.524336198D.SCHWEFEL,H.C.T.GROOM,V.C.BOUCHERIT,E.CHRISTODOULOU,P.A.WALKER,J.P.STOYE,K.N.BISHOP,I.A.TAYLORSTRUCTURAL BASIS OF LENTIVIRAL SUBVERSION OF A CELLULAR PROTEIN DEGRADATION PATHWAY.2014NATURE505234x-ray4cc9B1112100314919911211214cc9_11937Hetero trimer4cc9AQ9Y4B6IID007434cc9CQ9Y3Z34cc9BP19508IID900304cc9C-4cc9B4cc9A-4cc9B4cc9A-4cc9CProS1predicted4100111The unbound state of this region is predicted to be disordered by DICHOT and MobiDB.5-901-4,91-1123022PF005225->992e-45VPR/VPX proteinhmmpfm7939PF005226->1033e-18VPR/VPX proteinrpspfm
