The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag matrix (MA) domain facilitates Gag targeting and binding to the plasma membrane (PM) during virus assembly. Interaction with a PM phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P(2)], plays a key role in these MA functions. Previous studies showed that overexpression of polyphosphoinositide 5-phosphatase IV (5ptaseIV), which depletes cellular PI(4,5)P(2), mislocalizes HIV-1 Gag to the cytosol and greatly reduces HIV-1 release efficiency. In this study, we sought to determine the role of the MA-PI(4,5)P(2) interaction in Gag localization and membrane binding of a deltaretrovirus, human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1). We compared the chimeric HIV-1 Gag (HTMA), in which MA was replaced with HTLV-1 MA, with wild-type HIV-1 and HTLV-1 Gag for PI(4,5)P(2) dependence. Our results demonstrate that, unlike HIV-1 Gag, subcellular localization of and VLP release by HTLV-1 and HTMA Gag were minimally sensitive to 5ptaseIV overexpression. These results suggest that the interaction of HTLV-1 MA with PI(4,5)P(2) is not essential for HTLV-1 particle assembly. Furthermore, liposome-binding analyses showed that both HTLV-1 and HTMA Gag can bind membrane efficiently even in the absence of PI(4,5)P(2). Efficient HTLV-1 Gag binding to liposomes was largely driven by electrostatic interaction, unlike that of HIV-1 Gag, which required specific interaction with PI(4,5)P(2). Furthermore, membrane binding of HTLV-1 Gag in vitro was not suppressed by RNA, in contrast to HIV-1 Gag. Altogether, our data suggest that Gag targeting and membrane binding mediated by HTLV-1 MA does not require PI(4,5)P(2) and that distinct mechanisms regulate HIV-1 and HTLV-1 Gag membrane binding. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) encodes a polypeptide called Gag that is capable of forming virus-like particles (VLPs) in vitro in the absence of other cellular or viral constituents. During the late phase of HIV-1 infection, Gag polyproteins are transported to the plasma membrane (PM) for assembly. A combination of in vivo, in vitro, and structural studies have shown that Gag targeting and assembly on the PM are mediated by specific interactions between the myristoylated matrix [myr(+)MA] domain of Gag and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. Exposure of the MA myristyl (myr) group is triggered by PI(4,5)P2 binding and is enhanced by factors that promote protein self-association. In the studies reported here, we demonstrate that myr exposure in MA is modulated by pH. Our data show that deprotonation of the His89 imidazole ring in myr(+)MA destabilizes the salt bridge formed between His89(Hδ2) and Glu12(COO-), leading to tight sequestration of the myr group and a shift in the equilibrium from trimer to monomer. Furthermore, we show that oligomerization of a Gag-like construct containing matrix-capsid is also pH-dependent. Disruption of the His?Glu salt bridge by single-amino acid substitutions greatly altered the myr-sequestered?myr-exposed equilibrium. In vivo intracellular localization data revealed that the H89G mutation retargets Gag to intracellular compartments and severely inhibits virus production. Our findings reveal that the MA domain acts as a “pH sensor” in vitro, suggesting that the effect of pH on HIV-1 Gag targeting and binding to the PM warrants investigation. 相似文献

During the late phase of retroviral replication, newly synthesized Gag proteins are targeted to the plasma membrane (PM), where they assemble and bud to form immature virus particles. Membrane targeting by human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag is mediated by the PM marker molecule phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2], which is capable of binding to the matrix (MA) domain of Gag in an extended lipid conformation and of triggering myristate exposure. Here, we show that, as observed previously for HIV-1 MA, the myristyl group of HIV-2 MA is partially sequestered within a narrow hydrophobic tunnel formed by side chains of helices 1, 2, 3, and 5. However, the myristate of HIV-2 MA is more tightly sequestered than that of the HIV-1 protein and does not exhibit concentration-dependent exposure. Soluble PI(4,5)P2 analogs containing truncated acyl chains bind HIV-2 MA and induce minor long-range structural changes but do not trigger myristate exposure. Despite these differences, the site of HIV-2 assembly in vivo can be manipulated by enzymes that regulate PI(4,5)P2 localization. Our findings indicate that HIV-1 and HIV-2 are both targeted to the PM for assembly via a PI(4,5)P2-dependent mechanism, despite differences in the sensitivity of the MA myristyl switch, and suggest a potential mechanism that may contribute to the poor replication kinetics of HIV-2. 相似文献

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) particle assembly mediated by the viral structural protein Gag occurs predominantly on the plasma membrane (PM). Although it is known that the matrix (MA) domain of Gag plays a major role in PM localization, molecular mechanisms that determine the location of assembly remain to be elucidated. We observed previously that overexpression of polyphosphoinositide 5-phosphatase IV (5ptaseIV) that depletes PM phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] impairs virus particle production and redirects processed Gag to intracellular compartments. In this study, we examined the impact of PI(4,5)P2 depletion on the subcellular localization of the entire Gag population using Gag-fluorescent protein chimeras. Upon 5ptaseIV overexpression, in addition to perinuclear localization, Gag also showed a hazy cytosolic signal, suggesting that PI(4,5)P2 depletion impairs Gag membrane binding. Indeed, Gag was less membrane bound in PI(4,5)P2-depleted cells, as assessed by biochemical analysis. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that Gag interacts with PI(4,5)P2. To examine a putative Gag interaction with PI(4,5)P2, we developed an in vitro binding assay using full-length myristoylated Gag and liposome-associated PI(4,5)P2. Using this assay, we observed that PI(4,5)P2 significantly enhances liposome binding of wild-type Gag. In contrast, a Gag derivative lacking MA did not require PI(4,5)P2 for efficient liposome binding. To analyze the involvement of MA in PI(4,5)P2 binding further, we examined MA basic amino acid substitution mutants. These mutants, previously shown to localize in perinuclear compartments, bound PI(4,5)P2-containing liposomes weakly. Altogether, these results indicate that HIV-1 Gag binds PI(4,5)P2 on the membrane and that the MA basic domain mediates this interaction. 相似文献

The MA domain of the retroviral Gag protein mediates interactions with the plasma membrane, which is the site of productive virus release. HIV-1 MA has a phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] binding pocket; depletion of this phospholipid from the plasma membrane compromises Gag membrane association and virus budding. We used multiple methods to examine the possible role of PI(4,5)P2 in Gag-membrane interaction of the alpharetrovirus Rous sarcoma virus (RSV). In contrast to HIV-1, which was tested in parallel, neither membrane localization of RSV Gag-GFP nor release of virus-like particles was affected by phosphatase-mediated depletion of PI(4,5)P2 in transfected avian cells. In liposome flotation experiments, RSV Gag required acidic lipids for binding but showed no specificity for PI(4,5)P2. Mono-, di-, and triphosphorylated phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP) species as well as high concentrations of phosphatidylserine (PS) supported similar levels of flotation. A mutation that increases the overall charge of RSV MA also enhanced Gag membrane binding. Contrary to previous reports, we found that high concentrations of PS, in the absence of PIPs, also strongly promoted HIV-1 Gag flotation. Taken together, we interpret these results to mean that RSV Gag membrane association is driven by electrostatic interactions and not by any specific association with PI(4,5)P2. 相似文献

Retroviral Gag proteins are membrane-bound polyproteins that are necessary and sufficient for virus-like particle (VLP) formation. It is not known how Gag traffics through the cell or how the site of particle production is determined. Here we use two techniques, biarsenical/tetracysteine (TC) labeling and release from a cycloheximide block, to follow the trafficking of newly synthesized HIV-1 Gag. Gag first appears diffusely distributed in the cytosol, accumulates in perinuclear clusters, passes transiently through a multivesicular body (MVB)-like compartment, and then travels to the plasma membrane (PM). Sequential passage of Gag through these temporal intermediates was confirmed by live cell imaging. Induction of a transient rise in cytoplasmic calcium increased the amounts of Gag, Gag assembly intermediates and VLPs in MVBs, and resulted in a dramatic increase in VLP release. These results define an intracellular trafficking pathway for HIV-1 Gag that uses perinuclear compartments and the MVB as trafficking intermediates. We propose that the regulation of Gag association with MVB-like compartments regulates the site of HIV-1 budding and particle formation. 相似文献

During the late phase of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) replication, newly synthesized retroviral Gag proteins are targeted to lipid raft regions of specific cellular membranes, where they assemble and bud to form new virus particles. Gag binds preferentially to the plasma membrane (PM) of most hematopoietic cell types, a process mediated by interactions between the cellular PM marker phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)) and Gag's N-terminally myristoylated matrix (MA) domain. We recently demonstrated that PI(4,5)P(2) binds to a conserved cleft on MA and promotes myristate exposure, suggesting a role as both a direct membrane anchor and myristyl switch trigger. Here we show that PI(4,5)P(2) is also capable of binding to MA proteins containing point mutations that inhibit membrane binding in vitro, and in vivo, including V7R, L8A and L8I. However, these mutants do not exhibit PI(4,5)P(2) or concentration-dependent myristate exposure. NMR studies of V7R and L8A MA reveal minor structural changes that appear to be responsible for stabilizing the myristate-sequestered (myr(s)) species and inhibiting exposure. Unexpectedly, the myristyl group of a revertant mutant with normal PM targeting properties (V7R,L21K) is also tightly sequestered and insensitive to PI(4,5)P(2) binding. This mutant binds PI(4,5)P(2) with twofold higher affinity compared with the native protein, suggesting a potential compensatory mechanism for membrane binding. 相似文献

Retroviral Gag targeting to the plasma membrane (PM) for assembly is mediated by the N-terminal matrix (MA) domain. For many retroviruses, Gag–PM interaction is dependent on phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2). However, it has been shown that for human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1), Gag binding to membranes is less dependent on PI(4,5)P2 than HIV-1, suggesting that other factors may modulate Gag assembly. To elucidate the mechanism by which HTLV-1 Gag binds to the PM, we employed NMR techniques to determine the structure of unmyristoylated MA (myr(–)MA) and to characterize its interactions with lipids and liposomes. The MA structure consists of four α-helices and unstructured N- and C-termini. We show that myr(–)MA binds to PI(4,5)P2 via the polar head and that binding to inositol phosphates (IPs) is significantly enhanced by increasing the number of phosphate groups on the inositol ring, indicating that the MA–IP binding is governed by charge–charge interactions. The IP binding site was mapped to a well-defined basic patch formed by lysine and arginine residues. Using an NMR-based liposome binding assay, we show that PI(4,5)P2 and phosphatidylserine enhance myr(–)MA binding in a synergistic fashion. Confocal microscopy data revealed formation of puncta on the PM of Gag expressing cells. However, G2A-Gag mutant, lacking myristoylation, is diffuse and cytoplasmic. These results suggest that although myr(–)MA binds to membranes, myristoylation appears to be key for formation of HTLV-1 Gag puncta on the PM. Altogether, these findings advance our understanding of a key mechanism in retroviral assembly. 相似文献

The matrix (MA) domain of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) precursor Gag (PrGag) protein plays multiple roles in the viral replication cycle. One essential role is to target PrGag proteins to their lipid raft-associated phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] assembly sites at the plasma membranes of infected cells. In addition to this role, several reports have implicated nucleic acid binding properties to retroviral MAs. Evidence indicates that RNA binding enhances the binding specificity of MA to PI(4,5)P2-containing membranes and supports a hypothesis in which RNA binding to MA acts as a chaperone that protects MA from associating with inappropriate cellular membranes prior to PrGag delivery to plasma membrane assembly sites. To gain a better understanding of HIV-1 MA-RNA interactions, we have analyzed the interaction of HIV MA with RNA ligands that were selected previously for their high affinities to MA. Binding interactions were characterized via bead binding, fluorescence anisotropy, gel shift, and analytical ultracentrifugation methods. Moreover, MA residues that are involved in RNA binding were identified from NMR chemical shift data. Our results indicate that the MA RNA and PI(4,5)P2 binding sites overlap and suggest models for Gag-membrane and Gag-RNA interactions and for the HIV assembly pathway. 相似文献

HIV-1 Gag is the only protein required for retroviral particle assembly. There is evidence suggesting that phosphatidylinositol phosphate and nucleic acid are essential for viruslike particle assembly. To elucidate structural foundations of interactions of HIV-1 Gag with the assembly cofactors PI(4,5)P2 and RNA, we employed mass spectrometric protein footprinting. In particular, the NHS-biotin modification approach was used to identify the lysine residues that are exposed to the solvent in free Gag and are protected from biotinylation by direct protein-ligand or protein-protein contacts in Gag complexes with PI(4,5)P2 and/or RNA. Of 21 surface lysines readily modified in free Gag, only K30 and K32, located in the matrix domain, were strongly protected in the Gag-PI(4,5)P2 complex. Nucleic acid also protected these lysines, but only at significantly higher concentrations. In contrast, nucleic acids and not PI(4,5)P2 exhibited strong protection of two nucleocapsid domain residues: K391 and K424. In addition, K314, located in the capsid domain, was specifically protected only in the presence of both PI(4,5)P2 and nucleic acid. We suggest that concerted binding of PI(4,5)P2 and nucleic acid to the matrix and nucleocapsid domains, respectively, promotes protein-protein interactions involving capsid domains. These protein-protein interactions must be involved in virus particle assembly. 相似文献

Budding of retroviruses requires the structural precursor polyprotein, Gag, to target the plasma membrane through its N-terminal matrix (MA) domain. For HIV-1, the interaction between membrane signaling molecule phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate (PIP2) and MA induces the exposure of myristate and promotes membrane binding. Here we studied oligomerization of the naturally unmyristylated equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) MA and its interaction with PIP2-C4 primarily using solution NMR spectroscopy. The measured 1H-15N residual dipolar coupling agrees with the atomic coordinates from the EIAV MA crystal structure. The analytical ultracentrifugation results show a dominant population of monomeric EIAV MA at a concentration of 63 microM and 20 degrees C, along with a small trimer and a broad distribution of other oligomers. The monomer-trimer equilibrium model and the quaternary packing of the trimer were further established by the concentration-dependent 15N spin relaxation rates and chemical shifts. Binding of MA to PIP2-C4 was detected by chemical shift mapping (CSM) with an apparent Kd of 182 +/- 56 microM, a value similar to that reported for HIV-1 MA. The PIP2 binding site includes the Loop region between Helix2 and Helix3 in the EIAV MA. CSM and spin relaxation dispersion reveal a coupling of conformational change and submillisecond dynamics, respectively, between the Loop and trimeric Interface Residues due to PIP2 binding. We infer that PIP2 participates in the initial trimer formation of EIAV MA, but more importantly, the concentration effect is dominant in shifting the equilibrium toward trimer, in line with the entropic switch mechanism proposed for myristylated HIV-1 MA. 相似文献

Assembly of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) particles is initiated by the trafficking of virally encoded Gag polyproteins to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM). Gag–PM interactions are mediated by the matrix (MA) domain, which contains a myristoyl group (myr) and a basic patch formed by lysine and arginine residues. For many retroviruses, Gag–PM interactions are mediated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]; however, previous studies suggested that HTLV-1 Gag–PM interactions and therefore virus assembly are less dependent on PI(4,5)P2. We have recently shown that PI(4,5)P2 binds directly to HTLV-1 unmyristoylated MA [myr(–)MA] and that myr(–)MA binding to membranes is significantly enhanced by inclusion of phosphatidylserine (PS) and PI(4,5)P2. Herein, we employed structural, biophysical, biochemical, mutagenesis, and cell-based assays to identify residues involved in MA–membrane interactions. Our data revealed that the lysine-rich motif (Lys47, Lys48, and Lys51) constitutes the primary PI(4,5)P2–binding site. Furthermore, we show that arginine residues 3, 7, 14 and 17 located in the unstructured N-terminus are essential for MA binding to membranes containing PS and/or PI(4,5)P2. Substitution of lysine and arginine residues severely attenuated virus-like particle production, but only the lysine residues could be clearly correlated with reduced PM binding. These results support a mechanism by which HTLV-1 Gag targeting to the PM is mediated by a trio engagement of the myr group, Arg-rich and Lys-rich motifs. These findings advance our understanding of a key step in retroviral particle assembly. 相似文献

We have previously shown that the expression of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae spheroplasts produces Gag virus-like particles (VLPs) at the plasma membrane, indicating that yeast has all the host factors necessary for HIV-1 Gag assembly. Here we expand the study by using diverse primate lentiviral Gags and show that yeast does not support the production of HIV-2 or simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac Gag VLPs but allows the production of SIVagm and SIVmnd Gag VLPs. Particle budding was observed at the surfaces of cells expressing SIVagm and SIVmnd Gags, but cells expressing HIV-2 and SIVmac Gags showed only membrane-ruffling structures, although they were accompanied with electron-dense submembrane layers, suggesting arrest at an early stage of particle budding. Comparison of HIV-1 and HIV-2 Gag expression revealed broadly equivalent levels of intracellular Gag expression and Gag N-terminal myristoylation in yeast. Both Gags showed the same membrane-binding ability and were incorporated into lipid raft fractions at a physiological concentration of salt. HIV-2 Gag, however, failed to form a high-order multimer and easily dissociated from the membrane, phenomena which were not observed in higher eukaryotic cells. A series of chimeric Gags between HIV-1 and HIV-2 and Gag mutants with amino acid substitutions revealed that a defined region in helix 2 of HIV-2 MA (located on the membrane-binding surface of MA) affects higher-order Gag assembly and particle production in yeast. Together, these data suggest that yeast may lack a host factor(s) for HIV-2 and SIVmac Gag assembly. 相似文献

Retroviral Gag polyprotein precursors are both necessary and sufficient for the assembly and release of virus-like particles (VLPs) from infected cells. It is well established that small Gag-encoded motifs, known as late domains, promote particle release by interacting with components of the cellular endosomal sorting and ubiquitination machinery. The Gag proteins of a number of different retroviruses are ubiquitinated; however, the role of Gag ubiquitination in particle egress remains undefined. In this study, we investigated this question by using a panel of equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) Gag derivatives bearing the wild-type EIAV late domain, heterologous retroviral late domains or no late domain. Ubiquitin was fused in cis to the C-termini of these Gag polyproteins, and the effects on VLP budding were measured. Remarkably, fusion of ubiquitin to EIAV Gag lacking a late domain (EIAV/DeltaYPDL-Ub) largely rescued VLP release. We also determined the effects of ubiquitin fusion on the sensitivity of particle release to budding inhibitors and to depletion of key endosomal sorting factors. Ubiquitin fusion rendered EIAV/DeltaYPDL-Ub sensitive to depletion of cellular endosomal sorting factors Tsg101 and Alix and to overexpression of dominant-negative fragments of Tsg101 and Alix. These findings demonstrate that ubiquitin can functionally compensate for the absence of a retroviral late domain and provide insights into the host-cell machinery engaged by ubiquitin during particle egress. 相似文献

The generation of phosphoinositides (PIs) with spatial and temporal control is a key mechanism in cellular organization and signaling. The synthesis of PIs is mediated by PI kinases, proteins that are able to phosphorylate unique substrates at specific positions on the inositol headgroup to generate signaling molecules. Phosphatidylinositol 5 phosphate 4 kinase (PIP4K) is one such lipid kinase that is able to specifically phosphorylate phosphatidylinositol 5 phosphate, the most recently discovered PI to generate the well-known and abundant PI, phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. PIP4K appears to be encoded only in metazoan genomes, and several genetic studies indicate important physiological functions for these enzymes in metabolism, immune function, and growth control. PIP4K has recently been reported to localize to multiple cellular compartments, including the nucleus, plasma membrane, endosomal systems, and autophagosome. However, the biochemical activity of these enzymes that is relevant to these physiological functions remains elusive. We review recent developments in this area and highlight emerging roles for these enzymes in cellular organization. 相似文献

Altered abundance of phosphatidyl inositides (PIs) is a feature of cancer. Various PIs mark the identity of diverse membranes in normal and malignant cells. Phosphatidylinositol 4,5‐bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) resides predominantly in the plasma membrane, where it regulates cellular processes by recruiting, activating, or inhibiting proteins at the plasma membrane. We find that PTPRN2 and PLCβ1 enzymatically reduce plasma membrane PI(4,5)P2 levels in metastatic breast cancer cells through two independent mechanisms. These genes are upregulated in highly metastatic breast cancer cells, and their increased expression associates with human metastatic relapse. Reduction in plasma membrane PI(4,5)P2 abundance by these enzymes releases the PI(4,5)P2‐binding protein cofilin from its inactive membrane‐associated state into the cytoplasm where it mediates actin turnover dynamics, thereby enhancing cellular migration and metastatic capacity. Our findings reveal an enzymatic network that regulates metastatic cell migration through lipid‐dependent sequestration of an actin‐remodeling factor. 相似文献

The four ESCRT (endocytic sorting complexes required for transport) complexes (ESCRT-0, -I, -II, and -III) normally operate sequentially in the trafficking of cellular cargo. HIV-1 Gag trafficking and release as virus-like particles (VLPs) require the participation of ESCRTs; however, its use of ESCRTs is selective and nonsequential. Specifically, Gag trafficking to release sites on the plasma membrane does not require ESCRT-0 or -II. It is known that a bypass of ESCRT-0 is achieved by the direct linkage of the ESCRT-I component, Tsg101, to the primary L domain motif (PTAP) in Gag and that bypass of ESCRT-II is achieved by the linkage of Gag to ESCRT-III through the adaptor protein Alix. However, the mechanism by which Gag suppresses the interaction of bound ESCRT-I with ESCRT-II is unknown. Here we show (i) that VLP release requires the steady-state level of Sprouty 2 (Spry2) in COS-1 cells, (ii) that Spry2 binds the ESCRT-II component Eap20, (iii) that binding Eap20 permits Spry2 to disrupt ESCRT-I interaction with ESCRT-II, and (iv) that coexpression of Gag with a Spry2 fragment that binds Eap20 increases VLP release. Spry2 also facilitated release of P7L-Gag (i.e., release in the absence of Tsg101 binding). In this case, rescue required the secondary L domain (YPX(n)L) in HIV-1 Gag that binds Alix and the region in Spry2 that binds Eap20. The results identify Spry2 as a novel cellular factor that facilitates release driven by the primary and secondary HIV-1 Gag L domains. 相似文献

The N-terminally myristoylated matrix (MA) domain of the HIV-1 Gag polyprotein promotes virus assembly by targeting Gag to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. Recent studies indicate that, prior to membrane binding, MA associates with cytoplasmic tRNAs (including tRNALys3), and in vitro studies of tRNA-dependent MA interactions with model membranes have led to proposals that competitive tRNA interactions contribute to membrane discrimination. We have characterized interactions between native, mutant, and unmyristylated (myr-) MA proteins and recombinant tRNALys3 by NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry. NMR experiments confirm that tRNALys3 interacts with a patch of basic residues that are also important for binding to the plasma membrane marker, phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. Unexpectedly, the affinity of MA for tRNALys3 (Kd = 0.63 ± 0.03 μM) is approximately 1 order of magnitude greater than its affinity for PI(4,5)P2-enriched liposomes (Kd(apparent) = 10.2 ± 2.1 μM), and NMR studies indicate that tRNALys3 binding blocks MA association with liposomes, including those enriched with PI(4,5)P2, phosphatidylserine, and cholesterol. However, the affinity of MA for tRNALys3 is diminished by mutations or sample conditions that promote myristate exposure. Since Gag–Gag interactions are known to promote myristate exposure, our findings support virus assembly models in which membrane targeting and genome binding are mechanistically coupled. 相似文献

In the accepted model for human immunodeficiency virus preassembly in infected host cells, the anchoring to the intracellular leaflet of the membrane of the matrix domain (MA) that lies at the N-terminus of the viral Gag protein precursor appears to be one of the crucial steps for particle assembly. In this study, we simulated the membrane anchoring of human immunodeficiency virus-1 myristoylated MA protein using a coarse-grained representation of both the protein and the membrane. Our calculations first suggest that the myristoyl group could spontaneously release from its initial hydrophobic pocket before MA protein interacts with the lipid membrane. All-atom simulations confirmed this possibility with a related energy cost estimated to be ∼5 kcal.mol−1. The phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2) head binds preferentially to the MA highly basic region as described in available NMR data, but interestingly without flipping of its 2′ acyl chain into the MA protein. Moreover, MA was able to confine PI(4,5)P2 lipids all around its molecular surface after having found a stable orientation at the membrane surface. Our results suggest that this orientation is dependent on Myr anchoring and that this confinement induces a lateral segregation of PI(4,5)P2 in domains. This is consistent with a PI(4,5)P2 enrichment of the virus envelope as compared to the host cell membrane. 相似文献

Mutations in capsid major homology region affect assembly and membrane affinity of HIV-1 Gag 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We introduced mutations into the HIV-1 major homology region (MHR; capsids 153-172) and adjacent C-terminal region to analyze their effects on virus-like particle (VLP) assembly, membrane affinity, and the multimerization of the Gag structural protein. Results indicate that alanine substitutions at K158, F168 or E175 significantly diminished VLP production. All assembly-defective Gag mutants had markedly reduced membrane-binding capacities, but results from a velocity sedimentation analysis suggest that most of the membrane-bound Gag proteins were present, primarily in a higher-order multimerized form. The membrane-binding capacity of the K158A, F168A, and E175A Gag proteins increased sharply upon removal of the MA globular domain. While demonstrating improved multimerization capability, the two MA-deleted versions of F168A and E175A did not show marked improvement in VLP production, presumably due to a defect in association with the raft-like membrane domain. However, K158A bound to detergent-resistant raft-like membrane; this was accompanied by noticeably improved VLP production following MA removal. Our results suggest that the HIV-1 MHR and adjacent downstream region facilitate multimerization and tight Gag packing. Enhanced Gag multimerization may help expose the membrane-binding domain and thus improve Gag membrane binding, thereby promoting Gag multimerization into higher-order assembly products. 相似文献
