摘要: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and the progression to AIDS are characterized by depletion of CD4+ T-cells. HIV-1 leads apoptosis uninfected bystander cells direct killing HIV-infected cells. This is mediated, in part, Tat protein, which secreted virally infected taken up We chemically synthesized two 86-residue subtype D proteins, Ug05RP Ug11LTS, from Ugandan patients who were clinically categorized as either rapid progressor or long-term survivor, with non-conservative mutations located essentially glutamine-rich region. Structural heterogeneities revealed CD, translate into differing trans-activational apoptotic effects. CD data analysis molecular modeling indicated that short α-helix observed proteins such Mal not present Ug11LTS. show more efficient than Ug11LTS its role inducing binding tubulin via mitochondrial pathway. The region appears be involved Tat-mediated
