Vpr is a 96-amino-acid protein encoded by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) that prevents proliferation of infected cells. We have established a system for infection of 100% of a T-cell population with HIV and use this system to show that within the context of HIV-1 infection, Vpr is primarily cytostatic rather than cytotoxic. Vpr acts upstream of dephosphorylation of the mitotic cyclin-dependent kinase, and causes infected cells to accumulate in the G2 stage of the cell cycle. However, some HIV-1 infected cells increase in ploidy and size, accumulating DNA to an 8N level. Furthermore, the mechanism of the Vpr mitotic block is qualitatively different from that of G2 DNA damage checkpoint control.
