HIV protein p6 contains two late-budding domains (L domains) which are short sequence motifs essential for viral particle release. p6 interacts with the endosomal sorting complex and represents a docking site for several cellular and binding factors [1]. The PTAP motif interacts with the cellular budding factor TSG101 [1]. This domain is also found in some chimpanzee immunodeficiency virus (SIV-cpz) proteins.
