Abstract excerpt
The Pr55 Gag of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 orchestrates viral particle assembly in producer cells, which requires the genomic RNA and a lipid membrane as scaffolding platforms. The nucleocapsid (NC) domain with its two invariant CCHC zinc fingers flanked by unfolded basic sequences is thought to direct genomic RNA selection, dimerization and packaging during virus assembly. To further investigate the...
