Abstract excerpt
The matrix (MA) domain of HIV-1 Gag plays key roles in virus assembly by targeting the Gag precursor to the plasma membrane and directing the incorporation of the viral envelope (Env) glycoprotein into virions. The latter function appears to be in part dependent on trimerization of the MA domain of Gag during assembly, as disruption of the MA trimer interface impairs Env incorporation. Conversely, many MA...
