Abstract
During retroviral maturation gag precursors are proteolytically cleaved to mature gag proteins. The number of mature gag proteins and their order in the gag precursors of HIV-I3B, SIVMne (captive macaque isolate), and SIVCat (wild mangabey isolate) has been determined by N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis of mature gag proteins and alignment with predicted sequences of homologous gag precursors. For HIV-1 and SIVs maturation proteolysis results in six gag proteins and the gag precursor cleavage pattern is distinctive and different from cleavage patterns for all other known retroviruses.Entities:
