Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that foamy virus (FV) particle budding, especially the involvement of the viral env glycoprotein is different from that of other (ortho) retroviruses: the N-terminal Env leader protein Elp is a constituent of released FV particles. A defined sequence in Elp required for particle budding binds to the MA domain of Gag. To extend these findings, we show that feline FV Elp is a...
