Retroviral CA subdomains encode their immature assembly properties independently of strict subdomain co-pairing
Retroviral capsid (CA) proteins display a conserved two-domain architecture consisting of independently folded N-terminal (CA-NTD) and a C-terminal (CA-CTD) subdomains. Despite a strong CA protein fold conservation, different retrovirus species are employing remarkably variable geometrical solutions to stabilize the CA lattices that form the immature virus particle. For instance, while HTLV-1 has…
