“…Alix functions as a scaffold protein in multiple cellular processes (Carlton and Martin-Serrano, 2007; Ichioka et al, 2005; Katoh et al, 2003; Mahul-Mellier et al, 2008; Martin-Serrano et al, 2003a; Matsuo et al, 2004; Missotten et al, 1999; Morita et al, 2007a; Odorizzi, 2006; Odorizzi et al, 2003; Pan et al, 2008; Pan et al, 2006; Sadoul, 2006; Sette et al, 2010; Vito et al, 1999; Zhou et al, 2010) and appears to fulfill a similar function in HIV-1 release. It binds Gag during virus assembly (Jouvenet et al, 2011) and is believed to play a key role in the recruitment of activated CHMP4 isoforms at the budding neck (Fisher et al, 2007; Pires et al, 2009; Strack et al, 2003; Usami et al, 2007).…”
