Role of Ezrin Phosphorylation in HIV-1 Replication

Host-cell expression of the ezrin protein is required for CXCR4 (X4)-tropic HIV-1 infection. Ezrin function is regulated by phosphorylation at threonine-567. This study investigates the role of ezrin phosphorylation in HIV-1 infection and virion release. We analyzed the effects of ezrin mutations in...
