CC -!- FUNCTION: Plays a role in nuclear translocation of the viral pre-
CC integration complex (PIC), thus is required for the virus to infect
CC non-dividing cells. Targets specific host proteins for degradation by
CC the 26S proteasome. Acts by associating with the cellular CUL4A-DDB1 E3
CC ligase complex through direct interaction with host VPRPB/DCAF-1. This
CC change in the E3 ligase substrate specificity results in the
CC degradation of host SAMHD1. In turn, SAMHD1 depletion allows viral
CC replication in host myeloid cells by preventing SAMHD1-mediated
CC hydrolysis of intracellular dNTPs necessary for reverse transcription
CC (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts with the P6 region of unprocessed GAG. Interacts
CC with host VPRBP/DCAF1, leading to change substrate specificity of the
CC CUL4A-DDB1 E3 ligase complex (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Virion. Host nucleus. Note=Nuclear just after
CC virion uncoating, or if expressed in the absence of unprocessed GAG.
CC {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: This is an African green monkey isolate.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the lentivirus VPX protein family.
CC {ECO:0000305}.
