Viral infectivity factor (Vif) encoded by lentiviruses is essential for viral replication and escaping from antiviral activity of host defensive factors APOBEC3. Jembrana disease virus (JDV) causes an acute disease syndrome with approximately 20% case fatality rate in Bali cattle. However, the interplay mechanism between JDV Vif and Bos taurus APOBEC3 (btA3) is poorly understood. In this study, we determined that JDV Vif recruits ElonginB, ElonginC(ELOB/C), Cul2 and RBX1 but without the need of CBF-β to form E3 ubiquitin ligase and induces the degradation of btA3 proteins. Further investigation identified BC-box (T149LQ151) motif required for ELOB/C binding, Cul2 box (Y167xxxxV/X172) and a zinc-bindi... More
