The expression of hundreds of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) causes the cellular "antiviral state" in which the replication of many viruses, including HIV-1, is attenuated. We conducted a screen for ISGs that inhibit HIV-1 virion production and found that 2',3'-cyclic-nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (CNP), a membrane-associated protein with unknown function in mammals has this property. CNP binds to the structural protein Gag and blocks HIV-1 particle assembly after Gag and viral RNA have as ...[more]
