'''HIV-1 CAPSID C-TERMINAL DOMAIN IN COMPLEX WITH AN INHIBITOR OF PARTICLE ASSEMBLY'''
===HIV-1 CAPSID C-TERMINAL DOMAIN IN COMPLEX WITH AN INHIBITOR OF PARTICLE ASSEMBLY===




==Overview==
<!--
Immature HIV particles bud from infected cells after assembly at the cytoplasmic side of cellular membranes. This assembly is driven by interactions between Gag polyproteins. Mature particles, each containing a characteristic conical core, are later generated by proteolytic maturation of Gag in the virion. The C-terminal domain of the HIV-1 capsid protein (C-CA) has been shown to contain oligomerization determinants essential for particle assembly. Here we report the 1.7-A-resolution crystal structure of C-CA in complex with a peptide capable of inhibiting immature- and mature-like particle assembly in vitro. The peptide inserts as an amphipathic alpha-helix into a conserved hydrophobic groove of C-CA, resulting in formation of a compact five-helix bundle with altered dimeric interactions. This structure thus reveals the details of an allosteric site in the HIV capsid protein that can be targeted for antiviral therapy.
