A lysine ring in HIV capsid pores coordinates IP6 to drive mature capsid assembly.

abstract：:Human defensins are at the forefront of the host responses to HIV and other pathogens in mucosal tissues. However, their ability to inactivate HIV in the bloodstream has been questioned due to the antagonistic effect of serum. In this study, we have examined the effect of sub-inhibitory concentrations of human α-defen...
