DING proteins from phylogenetically different species share high degrees of sequence and structure homology and block transcription of HIV-1 LTR promoter.

Independent research groups reported that DING protein homologues isolated from bacterial, plant and human cells demonstrate the anti-HIV-1 activity. This might indicate that diverse organisms utilize a DING-mediated broad-range protective innate immunity response to pathogen invasion, and that this...
