The HIV-1 envelope (Env) glycoproteins play an essential role in the virus replication cycle
by mediating the fusion between viral and cellular membranes during the entry process. The …

The lentivirus human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes AIDS by interacting with a large
number of different cells in the body and escaping the host immune response against it. HIV …

To define the role of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope proteins in
virus infection, a series of peptides were synthesized based on various regions of the HIV-1 …

This book grew out of a scientific review, originally published in Microbiological Reviews. It
has been updated and expanded-now citing more than 2100 references (100 pages of the …

Mutations were introduced into the ectodomain of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1
(HIV-1) transmembrane envelope glycoprotein, gp41, within a region immediately adjacent …

Enveloped viruses mature by budding at cellular membranes. It has been generally thought
that this process is driven by interactions between the viral transmembrane proteins and the …

The viral infectivity factor gene vif of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 has been shown
to affect the infectivity but not the production of virus particles. In this study, the effect of vif in …

We recently demonstrated that a single amino acid substitution in matrix residue 12 (12LE)
or 30 (30LE) blocks the incorporation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) …

Incorporation of envelope glycoproteins into a budding retrovirus is an essential step in the
formation of an infectious virus particle. By using site-directed mutagenesis, we identified …

The cytoplasmic tail of the measles virus (MV) fusion (F) protein is often altered in viruses
which spread through the brain of patients suffering from subacute sclerosing …
