    Title: The stability of HIV-2 Vpx and Vpr proteins is regulated by the presence or absence of zinc-binding sites and poly-proline motifs with distinct roles.
  3. These data also indicate that HIV-1 and HIV-2 Vpr activate the DNA damage response through an SLX4-independent mechanism that remains uncharacterized.
    Title: Activation of the DNA Damage Response Is a Conserved Function of HIV-1 and HIV-2 Vpr That Is Independent of SLX4 Recruitment.
  4. Data suggest that, in an evolutionary model of virus-host interactions, binding of Vpx/Vpr with SAMHD1 (and subsequent degradation of SAMHD1 [SAM domain/HD domain-containing protein 1]) exhibits dynamic requirements that have toggled back and forth.
    Title: Evolutionary toggling of Vpx/Vpr specificity results in divergent recognition of the restriction factor SAMHD1.
  5. results indicated that Vpx and Vpr of HIV-2 may cooperatively contribute to virion infectivity without affecting virion morphogenesis
