Abstract excerpt
The capsid (CA) domain of the Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MuLV) Gag protein has a unique carboxy terminus with a highly charged arginine-rich sequence. Mutant viruses harboring arginine-to-alanine mutations affecting this region of CA displayed significant defects in virion release, and the few viral particles produced were noninfectious. The interaction between the mutant Gag precursors was affected, as...
