Abstract
The structure of a mammalian SCAN domain has been recently reported. The molecule is a structural homolog of the HIV-1 capsid protein and forms a domain-swapped dimer in solution. The authors propose a similar domain-swapping event facilitates HIV-1 assembly, providing a new model for protein-protein interactions underlying viral particle formation.Entities:
