... with the N-terminal domain, MA, associated with the innerlayer of the viral membrane, and the remainingdomains forming the innermost protein layers accor-ding to their positions in Gag: MA, CA-NTD,CA-CTD, ... SpainIntroductionDuring HIV-1 morphogenesis [1,2], the capsid protein (CA; or p24) participates in two distinct assemblyevents. The first occurs inside the cell and involves the Gag polyprotein, ... independentproteins and peptides leads to the disassembly of the spherical capsid inside the virion. Some of the foldeddomains of Gag are then able to reassemble as inde-pendent proteins. The matrix protein...
