HIV Maturation
- Molecular classification
- Viral process
01
Overview
HIV maturation is a critical, late-stage process in the HIV-1 life cycle that transforms newly budded, immature, and noninfectious viral particles into mature, infectious virions. This transformation is driven by the proteolytic cleavage of the Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins by the viral protease (PR), resulting in dramatic structural rearrangements within the virus particle. Successful HIV maturation is essential for infectivity, and defects or inhibition lead to the production of noninfectious virions.
02
Mechanism of action
Inhibition of HIV protease prevents cleavage of Gag and Gag-Pro-Pol polyproteins; maturation inhibitors block processing steps at CA-SP1 junction
