Abstract excerpt
Efficient budding of HIV-1 from the plasma membrane of infected cells requires the function of a 6-kDa protein known as p6. A highly conserved Pro-Thr-Ala-Pro (PTAP) motif (the "late" or "L" domain), is critical for the virus-budding activity of p6. Recently, it was demonstrated that the product of tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101), which contains at its N terminus a domain highly related to...
