The capsid protein of human immunodeficiency virus: interactions of HIV‐1 capsid with host protein factors
8 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 is a retrovirus that causes AIDS in humans. The RNA genome of the virus encodes a Gag polyprotein, which is further processed into matrix, capsid and nucleocapsid proteins. These proteins play a significant role at several steps in the viral life cycle. In addition, various stages of assembly, infection and replication of the virus involve necessary interactions with a large number of supplementary...
