Host Cofactors and Pharmacologic Ligands Share an Essential Interface in HIV-1 Capsid That Is Lost upon Disassembly

Figure 2

Crystal structures of CPSF6313–327 (A) and NUP1531407–1423 (B) FG-containing peptides in complex with HIV-1 hexamer.

The P6 crystal form is shown, with the six subunits of the HIV-1 capsid generated by crystallographic symmetry. The capsid is shown in a ribbon representation with each monomer colored differently. Atoms comprising the cofactor peptides are shown as spheres, with each peptide colored separately. There are six cofactor binding sites per hexamer and six bound cofactor peptides. For each structure two views are shown, related by 90°.
