Abstract excerpt
The matrix (MA) domain of the Gag polyprotein is critical for directing retroviral assembly at the plasma membrane (PM), yet the determinants mediating human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Gag targeting remain incompletely defined. While Gag myristoylation and basic residue-mediated electrostatic interactions are known to be crucial for Gag-PM interactions, recent evidence with HTLV-1 MA has implicated...
