We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Structure of Human Immunodeficiency Virus hexameric capsid

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

Contents

Introduction

Function

Structural highlights

As you can see on the figure bellow, each monomer of capsid is linked to five others to form a hexamer. These hexamers (approximately 330 per virus) associates themselves to form a non-symetrical protein complex.

Interactions with others partners

Even if p24 is classified as a structural protein, it is also involved in many cellular infection processes.

You can find bellow in a non exhaustive list of p24 partners :

  - Cytoskeleton (MAP1A, MAP1S, CKAP1, WIRE)
  -
  -

The HIV-1 capsid acts like a kind of "nuclear localisation signal" because it targets directly the virus toward the nucleus, where the integation takes place.
