Abstract excerpt
We showed in a transient coexpression study that a single proline substitution for any of the five conserved leucine or isoleucine residues located in the envelope (Env) transmembrane protein gp41 zipper motif of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 dominantly interferes with wild-type Env-mediated viral infectivity. In the present study, we intended to explore the feasibility of developing a genetic anti-HIV...
