Potential Rotation Projects

1. The identification of novel binding partners for cellular proteins required for HIV-1 budding using a double tag immunoaffinity purification approach.

2. The characterization of mutant ESCRT-III components that block HIV-1 budding with regard to subcellular localization and their ability to interact with certain phosphoinositol lipids and with other proteins involved in late endosomal sorting.

3. The mapping of binding sites for cellular proteins that we have identified as specific components of HIV-1 using GST pulldown, yeast two-hybrid, and co-immunoprecipitation approaches.

4. The generation and functional characterization of mutant viral Gag proteins that fail to interact with specific cellular partners.
