Abstract excerpt
Maturation and release of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is targeted at the pseudopod of infected mononuclear cells. However, the intracellular mechanism or targeting signals leading to this polarized viral maturation are yet to be identified. We have recently demonstrated the presence of a functional YXXL motif for specific targeting of HIV-1 virions to the basolateral membrane surface in polarized...
