Abstract excerpt
The active form of the retroviral proteinase (PR) is a homodimer of monomeric subunits expressed as integral parts of the viral gag-pol precursor polyproteins, and dimerization of polyproteins is presumed to be important for regulation of PR activity. Expression of a single-chain dimer of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 PR as a component of the viral polyprotein has been shown to prevent particle...
