Abstract excerpt
Nuclear entry of HIV-1 involves specific interactions between the viral capsid and components of the nuclear pore complex. FG-repeat sequences present in many nucleoporins play important roles in HIV-1 nuclear entry. We previously reported that overexpression of the FG repeat-containing C-terminal fragment of the nucleoporin POM121C (residues 614-987), termed POM987, inhibits HIV-1 infection. However, the...
