Abstract excerpt
The mature human immunodeficiency virus type 1 proteinase (PR; 11 kDa) can cleave all interdomain junctions in the Gag and Gag-Pol polyprotein precursors. To determine the activity of the enzyme in its precursor form, we blocked release of mature PR from a truncated Gag-Pol polyprotein by introducing mutations into the N-terminal Phe-Pro cleavage site of the PR domain. The mutant precursor autoprocessed...
