In one model of Vpr mediated induction of apoptosis, Vpr acts directly on the mitochondrial permeability transition pore complex through its interaction with adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT). This interaction promotes the permeabiliztion of the mitochondrial membranes resulting in the release of cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factors.
