A unique spumavirus Gag N-terminal domain with functional properties of orthoretroviral matrix and capsid. by David C Goldstone, Thomas G Flower, Neil J Ball, Marta Sanz-Ramos, Melvyn W Yap, Roksana W Ogrodowicz, Nicole Stanke, Juliane Reh, Dirk Lindemann, Jonathan P Stoye, Ian A Taylor

“…Although FV infection is apparently benign, trans-species zoonosis is commonplace and has resulted in the isolation of the Prototypic Foamy Virus (PFV) from human sources and the potential for germ-line transmission. Despite little sequence homology, FV and orthoretroviral Gag proteins perform equivalent functions, including genome packaging, virion assembly, trafficking and membrane targeting. …”
