Figure 1

(A) A representation of the nine genes encoded by the HIV-1 genome. (B) The gag, pol and env genes encode protein precursors (pr55, pr160 and gp160) which require further processing by either viral or cellular proteases to generate structural proteins necessary for the formation of a mature virion (C).
