Yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed that GAPDH interacts with MA and CA region of HIV-1 precursor proteins via its C-terminal domain.
Docking simulation predicted that GAPDH helix 10, which is exposed on surface of its tetrameric form surface, interacts with MA and CA.
Mutagenesis assay on yeast two-hybrid analysis showed that D256R/K260E/K263E/E267R mutant of GAPDH lacks the binding affinity to both MA and CA.
D256R/K260E/K263E/E267R mutant of GAPDH acts as dominant negative effector on the packaging of tRNALys3.
