This bud's for Vpu
Abstract
Successful viruses must overcome the body's immune defenses. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Goffinet et al. (2009) provide evidence that the host protein CD317, the target of the HIV Vpu protein, is part of an ancient innate immune response directed against budding viruses.

HIV-1 antagonism of CD317 is species specific and involves Vpu-mediated proteasomal degradation of the restriction factor.Cell Host Microbe. 2009 Mar 19;5(3):285-97. doi: 10.1016/j.chom.2009.01.009. Cell Host Microbe. 2009. PMID: 19286137
