Abstract
Cleavage of non-viral proteins is rarely observed with the HIV-1 protease (HIV pr). One such cleavage event occurs with bcl-2, an important cytoprotective protein. The loss of bcl-2 has biological consequences, leading to enhanced HIV replication and programmed death of the host cell. A strategy is proposed to suppress HIV with non-cleavable mutants of bcl-2.Entities:
