The role of nucleocapsid of HIV-1 in virus assembly.
Virology - 10 Nov 1998
Dawson L, Yu X F
Abstract excerpt
The role of the nucleocapsid protein of HIV-1 Gag in virus assembly was investigated using Gag truncation mutants, a nucleocapsid deletion mutant, and point mutations in the nucleocapsid region of Gag, in transfected COS cells, and in stable T-cell lines. Consistent with previous investigations, a truncation containing only the matrix and capsid regions of Gag was unable to assemble efficiently into particles;...
