Tsg101 chaperone function revealed by HIV-1 assembly inhibitors

Tsg101 is a component of the host cellular ESCRT machinery and is required for HIV-1 replication. Here, the authors show that disruption of ubiquitin binding of the Tsg101 UEV domain through commonly used drugs arrests virus assembly, which might facilitate the development of potent HIV inhibitors.
