Sequence similarity between the erythrocyte binding domain of the <it>Plasmodium vivax </it>Duffy binding protein and the V3 loop of HIV-1 strain MN reveals a functional heparin binding motif involved in binding to the Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The HIV surface glycoprotein gp120 (SU, gp120) and the <it>Plasmodium vivax </it>Duffy binding protein (PvDBP) bind to chemokine receptors during infection and have a site of amino acid sequence similarity in their bindin...
