Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 budding requires short peptide motifs in p6(Gag), known as late domains, that promote the release of infectious virions. The primary late domain of HIV-1 is a Pro-(Thr/Ser)-Ala-Pro (hereafter referred to as a PTAP) motif. This motif may be completely or partially duplicated. In this work we analyzed p6(Gag) sequences from 547 isolates from drug-naive patients and 213 isolates from patients failing HAART...
