Probing the structure of HIV-1 Rev by protein footprinting of multiple monoclonal antibody-binding sites.

abstract：:HIV gp120 is specifically cleaved at a single site in the V3 loop between Arg315 and Ala316 by thrombin. Previous observations by others have indicated that binding to CD4 enhances the rate of V3 loop cleavage, and that this cleavage is a prerequisite for HIV infection. Other observations also suggest that the cleavag...
