Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 p6 region encodes p6(Gag) and the transframe p6(Pol) protein. The Gag frame encodes an N-terminal late assembly L domain and a C-terminal Vpr binding domain. In the Pol frame, substitution at a C-terminal motif decreases protease autocleavage. The role of the highly polymorphic central region of p6, comprising amino acids S14-I31 (p6(Gag)) and R20-D39 (p6(Pol)), is unclear....
