    Full assembly of HIV-1 particles requires assistance of the membrane curvature factor IRSp53

    Kaushik Inamdar, Feng-Ching Tsai ... Delphine Muriaux
    The formation of HIV-1 particles requires a bending of the membrane that cannot be achieved by the Gag protein alone and thus there is need for the I-BAR protein IRSp53 to aid in the formation of HIV-1 buds.
