Abstract excerpt
As intracellular parasites, viruses must devise sophisticated mechanisms to produce and assemble viral components while suppressing activation of innate immune effectors. Here, we report that coordination of HIV-1 assembly by the viral polyprotein Gag suppresses inappropriately timed protease (PR) activity to evade the PR activity sensor, caspase recruitment domain-containing protein 8 (CARD8). Using mutants of...
