Gag-Pol polyprotein

UniProtKB accession:  Q2F7J3

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Plays a role in budding and is processed by the viral protease during virion maturation outside the cell. During budding, it recruits, in a PPXY-dependent or independent manner, Nedd4-like ubiquitin ligases that conjugate ubiquitin molecules to Gag, or to Gag binding host factors. Interaction with HECT ubiquitin ligases probably link the viral protein to the host ESCRT pathway and facilitate release.
