Abstract
The enrichment of HIV-1 macromolecules at the uropod of polarized T cells can significantly promote virus assembly and cell-mediated infection. Using live-cell fluorescence microscopy, we demonstrate that full-length HIV-1 RNA is enriched at the uropod membrane; furthermore, the presence of HIV-1 Gag containing a functional nucleocapsid domain is necessary for this HIV-1 RNA enrichment. The results from these studies provide novel insights into the mechanism of HIV-1 replication in polarized T cells.Entities:
