HIV-1 assembly at the plasma membrane.
HIV-1 particle assembly takes place at the plasma membrane, which likely enhances release of extracellular virions and spread to next target cells. Recent work by our lab and others started to reveal a molecular mechanism by which HIV ensures to make the plasma membrane as a primary site of virus assembly.
