Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that the V3 domain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates has to interact with a cell-surface-associated or endosomal proteinase during virus entry into susceptible cells. To investigate this hypothesis, we examined the effect of several mutations in the V3 loop on its susceptibility to proteolytic cleavage by thrombin and cathepsin E and compared it with the effect of these...
