Mutations in the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein can broadly rescue blocks at multiple steps in the virus replication cycle

Abstract excerpt

L motif of p6, which binds the host protein Alix, severely impair HIV-1 replication. Propagation of the p6-Alix binding site mutants in the Jurkat T cell line led to the emergence of viral revertants containing compensatory mutations not in Gag but in Vpu and the envelope (Env) glycoprotein subunits gp120 and gp41. The Env compensatory mutants replicate in Jurkat T cells and primary human peripheral blood...
