Abstract excerpt
The retroviral Gag protein is the main structural protein responsible for virus particle assembly and release. Like human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag, human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) has a structurally conserved capsid (CA) domain, including a β-hairpin turn and a centralized coiled-coil-like structure of six α helices in the CA amino-terminal domain (NTD), as well as four α-helices in...
