Abstract excerpt
We have demonstrated previously that a human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein containing a Val-to-Glu substitution at the second amino acid of the transmembrane glycoprotein gp41 (termed the 41.2 mutant) dominantly interferes with wild-type envelope-mediated syncytium formation and virus infectivity. To understand the mechanism by which the 41.2 mutant exerts the dominant interfering...
