Membrane Potential Depolarization as a Triggering Mechanism for Vpu-Mediated HIV-1 Release
Vpu, a component unique to HIV-1, greatly enhances the efficiency of viral particle release by unclear mechanisms. This Vpu function is intrinsically linked to its channel-like structure, which enables it to interfere with homologous transmembrane structures in infected cells. Because Vpu interacts...
