HIV-1 needs the cell metabolite IP6 to build its capsid and infect cells
In an international collaboration led by Leo James’ group, researchers have discovered that HIV-1 builds its capsid using a metabolite called IP6 that it captures from cells with a net-like protein lattice. Disabling this capture mechanism prevents capsid construction and renders HIV-1 non-infectious.
