Mutation of a single residue renders human tetherin resistant to HIV-1 Vpu-mediated depletion.

Mutation of a single residue renders human tetherin resistant to HIV-1 Vpu-mediated depletion.

The recently identified restriction factor tetherin/BST-2/CD317 is an interferon-inducible trans-membrane protein that restricts HIV-1 particle release in the absence of the HIV-1 countermeasure viral protein U (Vpu).
