Uncoupling Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 gag and pol Reading Frames: Role of the Transframe Protein p6* in Viral Replication
30 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
Apart from its regulatory role in protease (PR) activation, little is known about the function of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 transframe protein p6* in the virus life cycle. p6* is located between the nucleocapsid and PR domains in the Gag-Pol polyprotein precursor and is cleaved by PR during viral maturation. We have recently reported that the central region of p6* can be extensively mutated without...
