Detailed topology mapping reveals substantial exposure of the "cytoplasmic" C-terminal tail (CTT) sequences in HIV-1 Env proteins at the cell surface.
Substantial controversy surrounds the membrane topology of the HIV-1 gp41 C-terminal tail (CTT). While few studies have been designed to directly address the topology of the CTT, results from envelope (Env) protein trafficking studies suggest that the CTT sequence is cytoplasmically localized, as in...
