Abstract
The host restriction factor SAMHD1 hinders lentiviral infection of myeloid cells, a function counteracted by the viral protein Vpx. Two papers in this issue of Cell Host & Microbe document the genetic conflict between SAMHD1 and the Vpr/Vpx proteins, which has subjected SAMHD1 to intense periods of diversifying selection through primate evolution.
