NUCLEOCAPSID ZINC FINGERS DETECTED IN RETROVIRUSES: EXAFS STUDIES ON INTACT VIRUSES AND THE SOLUTION-STATE STRUCTURE OF THE NUCLEOCAPSID PROTEIN FROM HIV-1
The zinc knuckle is a zinc binding motif composed of the the following CX2CX4HX4C where X can be any amino acid. The motifs are mostly from retroviral gag proteins (nucleocapsid). Prototype structure is from HIV. Also contains members involved in eu ...
The zinc knuckle is a zinc binding motif composed of the the following CX2CX4HX4C where X can be any amino acid. The motifs are mostly from retroviral gag proteins (nucleocapsid). Prototype structure is from HIV. Also contains members involved in eukaryotic gene regulation, such as C. elegans GLH-1. Structure is an 18-residue zinc finger.
