Background: BST-2/Tetherin

BST-2, also known as Tetherin or PDCA1 and designated CD317, is a 30-35 kDa interferon-inducible protein that shows an unusual topology. The N-terminus is cytoplasmic, followed by a transmembrane segment, an extracellular loop, and a C-terminal GPI-linkage. BST-2 is expressed on bone marrow stromal cells and is upregulated in breast cancer and astrocytoma. It binds to ILT7 on plasmacytoid dendritic cells and inhibits proinflammatory TLR7 and TLR9 signaling. BST-2 inhibits the release of Kaposi sarcoma virus, HIV-1, and Lassa virus from infected cells, but this function is counteracted by viral proteins which directly bind and trigger the degradation of BST-2.
