Probing dynamics of HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein/target hexanucleotide complexes by 2-aminopurine
The nucleocapsid protein (NC) plays an important role in HIV-1, mainly through interactions with the genomic RNA and its DNA copies. Though the structures of several complexes of NC with oligonucleotides (ODNs) are known, detailed information on the ODN dynamics in the complexes is missing. To address this, we investigated the steady state and time-resolved fluorescence properties of 2-aminopur...
متن کاملUnfolding of DNA quadruplexes induced by HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein
The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nucleocapsid protein (NC) is a nucleic acid chaperone that catalyzes the rearrangement of nucleic acids into their thermodynamically most stable structures. In the present study, a combination of optical and thermodynamic techniques were used to characterize the influence of NC on the secondary structure, thermal stability and energetics of monomolecular ...
متن کاملComplex interactions of HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein with oligonucleotides
The HIV-1 nucleocapsid (NC) protein is a small, basic protein containing two retroviral zinc fingers. It is a highly active nucleic acid chaperone; because of this activity, it plays a crucial role in virus replication as a cofactor during reverse transcription, and is probably important in other steps of the replication cycle as well. We previously reported that NC binds with high-affinity to ...
متن کاملSpecificity of acyl transfer from 2-mercaptobenzamide thioesters to the HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein.
The HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein (NCp7) is a small, highly conserved protein with two zinc-binding domains that are essential for the protein's function. Molecules that bind to and inactivate NCp7 are currently being evaluated as new antiviral drugs. In particular, derivatives based on a 2-mercaptobenzamide thioester template have been shown to specifically eject zinc from the C-terminal zinc-bin...
متن کاملFRET-based assay to screen inhibitors of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and nucleocapsid protein
During HIV-1 reverse transcription, the single-stranded RNA genome is converted into proviral double stranded DNA by Reverse Transcriptase (RT) within a reverse transcription complex composed of the genomic RNA and a number of HIV-1 encoded proteins, including the nucleocapsid protein NCp7. Here, we developed a one-step and one-pot RT polymerization assay. In this in vitro assay, RT polymerizat...
