Structure-Function Studies of the Self-Assembly Domain of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Transmembrane Protein gp41
1 Jun 2000
Abstract excerpt
The coiled-coil region of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 transmembrane protein (gp41) makes up the interior core of the six-helix bundle structure of the gp41 self-assembly domain. We extended our previous study of this domain (Y. Weng and C. D. Weiss, J. Virol. 72:9676-9682, 1998) by analyzing 23 additional mutants at positions that lie at the interface of the interior core and outer helices. We found...
