The highly polymorphic cyclophilin A-binding loop in HIV-1 capsid modulates viral resistance to MxB
8 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human myxovirus-resistance protein B (MxB, also called Mx2) was recently reported to inhibit HIV-1 infection by impeding the nuclear import and integration of viral DNA. However, it is currently unknown whether there exist MxB-resistant HIV-1 strains in the infected individuals. Answer to this question should address whether MxB exerts an inhibitory pressure on HIV-1 in vivo and whether HIV-1 has...
