HIV-1 subtype C with PYxE insertion has enhanced binding of Gag-p6 to host cell protein ALIX and increased replication fitness
2018-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 subtype C (HIV-1C) has a natural deletion of a YPxL motif in its Gag-p6 late domain. This domain mediates the binding of Gag to host cell protein ALIX and subsequently facilitates viral budding. In a subset of HIV-1C infected individuals, the tetrapeptide insertion PYxE has been identified at the deleted YPxL motif site. Here, we report the consequences of PYxE insertion on the...
