Figure 5. Topology and Multimerization of HIV-1 Vif.

Figure 5

(A) Intramolecular cross-links suggest that the N-terminus is folded into a compact domain and the C-terminus is less structured. The HIV-1 Vif monomer is globular in shape. (B and C) Schematic of how the HIV-1 Vif dimer and trimer may fold. The carboxyl terminus becomes more ordered upon oligomerization.
