  • Title: IP6 Regulation of HIV Capsid Assembly, Stability, and Uncoating.
    Author: Dick RA, Mallery DL, Vogt VM, James LC.
    Journal: Viruses; 2018 Nov 15; 10(11):. PubMed ID: 30445742.
    Abstract:
    The mechanisms that drive formation of the HIV capsid, first as an immature particle and then as a mature protein shell, remain incompletely understood. Recent discoveries of positively-charged rings in the immature and mature protein hexamer subunits that comprise them and their binding to the cellular metabolite inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) have stimulated exciting new hypotheses. In this paper, we discuss how data from multiple structural and biochemical approaches are revealing potential roles for IP6 in the HIV-1 replication cycle from assembly to uncoating.
