Abstract excerpt
The cellular peptidyl-prolyl isomerase cyclophilin A is incorporated into human immunodeficiency virus type 1 virions via contacts with the proline-rich domain of the Gag polyprotein. Cyclosporine A and nonimmunosuppressive analogs bind with high affinity to cyclophilin A, compete with Gag for binding to cyclophilin A, and prevent incorporation of cyclophilin A into virions; in parallel with the disruption of...
