p.1638 caption to figure 1C: "C - Budding of HIV virus (adapted from [ref 219]): The Gag protein presents different subdomains involved at different stages of the budding process. The matrix (MA) domain is anchored to the cell membrane via a myristate. This domain also contains basic amino acids that preferentially interact with acidic lipids. The capsid domain (CA) contains amino acids that promote Gag-Gag interactions (oligomerization) that invaginate the membrane and lead to budding. A viral particle contains 750 to 5000 Gag proteins [primary sources]. The nucleocapsid domain (NC) binds to viral RNA that are packaged in the virus particle. Finally, viral proteases cleave Gag to form a mature virus." |
