Functional analysis of the secondary HIV-1 capsid binding site in the host protein cyclophilin A

Abstract Background Efficient HIV-1 replication depends on interaction of the viral capsid with the host protein cyclophilin A (CypA). CypA, a peptidylprolyl isomerase, binds to an exposed loop in the viral CA protein via the enzyme’s active site. Recent structural analysis of CypA in complex with C...
