Identification of Capsid Mutations That Alter the Rate of HIV-1 Uncoating in Infected Cells

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: After viral fusion with the cell membrane, the conical capsid of HIV-1 disassembles by a process called uncoating. We recently utilized the cyclosporine (CsA) washout assay, in which TRIM-CypA-mediated restriction of viral replication is used to detect the state of the viral capsid, to study the kinetics of uncoating in HIV-1-infected cells. Here we have extended this analysis to examine the effects...
