Popis: In HIV-infected MT-4 cells,l-lysine-α-oxidase, an inhibitor of HIV reproduction, selectively inhibits the synthesis of histone proteins, including 18K antigen (H2B histone). This protein is the target for autoimmune suppression of helper T cells. The enzyme has a low effect on the synthesis of other proteins and DNA. In addition to 18K antigen,l-lysine-α-oxidase suppresses the synthesis of high-molecular-weight proteins (270, 220, 140, 100, 75, 70, and 60 kD).
