González S A, Affranchino J L
Abstract excerpt
The matrix protein (MA) of human and simian immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV) is encoded by the amino-terminal region of the Gag precursor and has been suggested to be involved in different processes during the early and late stages of the virus life cycle. The MA protein of SIV contains three cysteine residues at positions 57, 83, and 87, which are also highly conserved among HIV-2 isolates. In order to...
