In this study, we have identified a novel Nedd4-like ubiquitin ligase, BUL1, as the host factor involved in budding of type D retrovirus Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (M-PMV). Overexpression of BUL1 enhanced virus particle release, while a BUL1 mutant in which a W to G substitution was introduced into a WW domain, W791G, lost the ability to bind to the viral Gag protein and abolished its ability to mediate virus budding. In addition, a fragment of BUL1 containing only the WW domains inhibited virus ...[more]
