Cell Factors Stimulate Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Reverse Transcription In Vitro
29 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
After fusion of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope with the host cell membrane, the HIV-1 core enters the cell cytoplasm. Core components are then restructured to form the reverse transcription complex (RTC); the biochemical details of this process are currently unclear. To investigate early RTC formation, we characterized the endogenous reverse transcription activity of virions, which was...
