Long, linear, highly charged polysaccharide composed of a repeating pair of sugars, one of which is always an amino sugar. Mainly found covalently linked to a protein core in extracellular matrix proteoglycans. Examples include chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, and heparin.
An HIV gene that codes for p55. p55 is the precursor of HIV proteins p17, p24, p7 and p6 that form HIVs core, the inner protein shell surrounding the viral RNA.
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) is the polysaccharide unit that makes up proteoglycans, a molecule made of saccharides and proteins. GAGs are extracellular matrix molecules that help give tissues like cartilage their rigid structure.
the gene of HIV that encodes the core proteins of the virus; also refers to the proteins produced by the gene.
an HIV gene that codes for the p55 core protein, which is the precursor of the HIV proteins p6, p7, p17, and p24. These form HIV's capsid (see above).
A gene of HIV that codes for the core protein p55. p55 is the precursor of HIV proteins p17, p24, p7, and p6. These form HIV's capsid (see nucleocapsid), the inner protein shell surrounding HIV's strand of RNA.
a gene of HIV that codes for p55, the core protein. p55 is the precursor of HIV proteins p17, p24, p7 and p6 that form HIV’s capsid or core, the inner protein shell surrounding HIV’s strands of RNA.
