Characterization of deletion mutations in the capsid region of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 that affect particle formation and Gag-Pol precursor incorporation
1 Oct 1995
Abstract excerpt
The core of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 is derived from two precursor polyproteins, Pr55gag and Pr160gag-pol. The Gag precursor can assemble into immature virus-like particles when expressed by itself, while the Gag-Pol precursor lacks particle-forming ability. We have shown previously that the Gag precursor is able to "rescue" the Gag-Pol precursor into virus-like particles when the two polyproteins are...
