Background
Ankyrins are cellular mediators of a number of essential protein-protein interactions. Unlike intrabodies, ankyrins are composed of highly structured repeat modules characterized by disulfide bridge-independent folding. Artificial ankyrin molecules, designed to target viral components, might act as intracellular antiviral agents and contribute to the cellular immunity against viral pathogens such as HIV-1.Results
A phage-displayed library of artificial ankyrins was constructed, and screened on a polyprotein made of the fused matrix and capsid domains (MA-CA) of the HIV-1 Gag precursor. An ankyrin with three modules named AnkGAG1D4 (16.5 kDa) was isolated. AnkGAG1D4 and MA-CA formed a protein complex with a stoichiometry of 1:1 and a dissociation constant of K d ~ 1 ??M, and the AnkGAG1D4 binding site was mapped to the N-terminal domain of the CA, within residues 1-110. HIV-1 production in SupT1 cells stably expressing AnkGAG1D4 in both N-myristoylated and non-N-myristoylated versions was significantly reduced compared to control cells. AnkGAG1D4 expression also reduced the production of MLV, a phylogenetically distant retrovirus. The AnkGAG1D4-mediated antiviral effect on HIV-1 was found to occur at post-integration steps, but did not involve the Gag precursor processing or cellular trafficking. Our data suggested that the lower HIV-1 progeny yields resulted from the negative interference of AnkGAG1D4-CA with the Gag assembly and budding pathway.Conclusions
The resistance of AnkGAG1D4-expressing cells to HIV-1 suggested that the CA-targeted ankyrin AnkGAG1D4 could serve as a protein platform for the design of a novel class of intracellular inhibitors of HIV-1 assembly based on ankyrin-repeat modules. 相似文献2.

Thermosensitive hydrogels are of great interest for in situ gelling drug delivery. The thermosensitive vehicle with a gelation temperature in a range of 30–36°C would be convenient to be injected as liquid and transform into gel after injection. To prepare novel hydrogels gelling near body temperature, the gelation temperature of poloxamer 407 (PX) were tailored by mixing PX with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA). The gelation behaviors of PX/PAA systems as well as the interaction mechanism were investigated by tube inversion, viscoelastic, shear viscosity, DSC, SEM, and FTIR studies. The gelation temperature of the plain PX solutions at high concentration of 18, 20, and 22% (w/w) gelled at temperature below 28°C, which is out of the suitable temperature range. Mixing PX with PAA to obtain 18 and 20% (w/w) PX with 1% (w/w) PAA increased the gelation temperature to the desired temperature range of 30–36°C. The intermolecular entanglements and hydrogen bonds between PX and PAA may be responsible for the modulation of the gelation features of PX. The mixtures behaved low viscosity liquid at room temperature with shear thinning behavior enabling their injectability and rapidly gelled at body temperature. The gel strength increased, while the pore size decreased with increasing PX concentration. Metronidazole, an antibiotic used for periodontitis, was incorporated into the matrices, and the drug did not hinder their gelling ability. The gels showed the sustained drug release characteristic. The thermosensitive PX/PAA hydrogel could be a promising injectable in situ gelling system for periodontal drug delivery. 相似文献
