Abstract excerpt
Unlike other retrovirus Gag proteins, the prototype foamy virus (PFV) p71(g)(ag) protein is not processed into mature matrix (MA), capsid (CA), and nucleocapsid (NC) subunits. Little information about sequence motifs involved in FV capsid assembly and release is available. The recent analysis of...
