Resistance is futile: assimilation of cellular machinery by HIV-1

Immunity. 2001 Nov;15(5):687-90. doi: 10.1016/s1074-7613(01)00238-2.

Abstract

HIV-1 budding appears to require Vps4 and Tsg101-two proteins that have links to endosomal sorting machinery. A picture emerges wherein divergent viruses recruit endosomal proteins like Tsg101 to gain access to ubiquitin processes that play a crucial role during viral budding.
