Bacterial curli protein promotes the conversion of PAP(248-286) into the amyloid SEVI: cross-seeding of dissimilar amyloid sequences

Fragments of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP(248-286)) in human semen dramatically increase HIV infection efficiency by increasing virus adhesion to target cells. PAP(248-286) only enhances HIV infection in the form of amyloid aggregates termed SEVI (Semen Enhancer of Viral Infection), however monom...
