Abstract excerpt
The endosomal sorting complex ESCRT-III, which is formed by the structurally related CHMP proteins, is engaged by HIV-1 to promote viral budding. Here we show that progressive truncations into the C-terminal acidic domains of CHMP proteins trigger an increasingly robust anti-HIV budding activity. Together with biochemical evidence for specific intramolecular interactions between the basic and acidic halves of...
