Beschreibung

General description

BST-2 also known as CD317 and Tetherin, bone marrow stromal antigen 2 (BST-2) is an interferon-inducible transmembrane protein that potently inhibits the release of nascent retrovirus particles. BST-2 is downregulated by the viral Vpu protein. BST-2 acts as a direct physical tether, which holds and links virions at the cell membrane. These tethered virons can remain on the cell surface or be internalized by endocytosis for degradation. BST-2 inhibits MMP2 and MMP15 activity, resulting in the attenuation of cellular proliferation and migration. BST-2 interaction with LILRA/ILT7 receptors in plasmacytoid dendritic cells negatively regulates IFN production in response to viral infection.

~33 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight of this protein is 20 kDa, but can be observed at ~25-35 kDa due to high glycosylation.
