Genetic Evidence for an Interaction between Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Matrix and α-Helix 2 of the gp41 Cytoplasmic Tail
15 Apr 2000
Abstract excerpt
The incorporation of envelope (Env) glycoproteins into virions is an essential step in the retroviral replication cycle. Lentiviruses, including human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), encode Env glycoproteins with unusually long cytoplasmic tails, the functions of which have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we examine the effects on virus replication of a number of mutations in a helical motif...
