Role of the Specific Amino Acid Sequence of the Membrane-Spanning Domain of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 in Membrane Fusion
28 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
Fusion between cell and virus membranes mediated by gp41 initiates the life cycle of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. In contrast to the many studies that have elucidated the structure-function relationship of the ectodomain, the study of the membrane-spanning domain (MSD) has been rather limited. In particular, the role that the MSD's specific amino acid sequences may have in membrane fusion as well as other...
