Abstract
Sequence alignment and three-dimensional modelling by homology of the CA-SP1-NC junction in HIV-1, SLVmac251 and Pr72Gag(MLV-HIV) suggested that a higher hydrophilic character of the CA region immediately upstream to the HIV-1 CA-SP1 junction, as occurred in Pr72Gag(MLV-HIV), correlated with a lower DSB sensitivity.
