Taxonomy: Viruses; Riboviria; Pararnavirae; Artverviricota; Revtraviricetes; Ortervirales; Retroviridae; Orthoretrovirinae; Lentivirus.
 
Function: Stimulates gene expression driven by the HIV-2 LTR. Prevents infected cells from undergoing mitosis and proliferating, by inducing arrest or delay in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Cell cycle arrest creates a favorable environment for maximizing viral expression and production. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU364021}.
