| Enzyme Function | FUNCTION: Counteracts the innate antiviral activity of human APOBEC3F and APOBEC3G. Forms a complex with host APOBEC3F and APOBEC3G thus preventing the entry of these lethally hypermutating enzymes into progeny virions. Recruits an active E3 ubiquitin ligase complex composed of elongin BC, CUL5, and RBX2 to induce polyubiquitination of APOBEC3G and APOBEC3F. In turn, they are directed to the 26S proteasome for degradation. Vif interaction with APOBEC3G also blocks its cytidine deaminase activity in a proteasome-independent manner, suggesting a dual inhibitory mechanism. May interact directly with APOBEC3G mRNA in order to inhibit its translation. Seems to play a role in viral morphology by affecting the stability of the viral nucleoprotein core. Finally, Vif also contributes to the G2 cell cycle arrest observed in HIV infected cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |

| Subcellular Location | SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Host cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Host cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Virion {ECO:0000250}. Note=In the cytoplasm, seems to colocalize with intermediate filament vimentin. A fraction is associated with the cytoplasmic side of cellular membranes, presumably via the interaction with Pr55Gag precursor. Incorporated in virions at a ratio of approximately 7 to 20 molecules per virion (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Modified Residue | MOD_RES 96; /note=Phosphothreonine; by host MAP4K1; /evidence=ECO:0000250 |
| Post Translational Modification | PTM: Processed in virion by the viral protease. {ECO:0000250}.; PTM: Highly phosphorylated on serine and threonine residues. Thr-96 is phosphorylated by the mitogen activated kinase MAP4K1 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.; PTM: Polyubiquitinated and degraded by the proteasome in the presence of APOBEC3G. {ECO:0000250}. |
