The Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 gp120 V2 Domain Mediates gp41-Independent Intersubunit Contacts
15 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
The envelope protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 HIV-1 undergoes proteolytic cleavage in the Golgi complex to produce subunits designated gp120 and gp41, which remain noncovalently associated. While gp41 has a well-characterized oligomeric structure, the maintenance of gp41-independent gp120 intersubunit contacts remains a contentious issue. Using recombinant vaccinia virus to achieve high-level...
