Analysis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Gag ubiquitination.
Ubiquitin is important for the release of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and several other retroviruses, but the functional significance of Gag ubiquitination is unknown. To address this problem, we decided to analyze Gag ubiquitination in detail. A low percentage of the HIV-1 p6 protein has previously been shown to be ubiquitinated, and published mutagenesis data suggested that Ga...
متن کاملQuantification Analysis of Dot Blot Assays for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 and 2 Antibodies
Objective Dot Blot (DB) assay provides highly specific results, but usually not reliable for quantification of antibody production. The need for a more objective DB assay to provide a better definition of the immune status, against HIV antigens, promoted this study to be done to develop a quantitative DB assay. Material and Methods Dot blot (DB) strips for antibodies directed to human immuno...
متن کاملUbiquitination of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 env glycoprotein.
Expression of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Env glycoprotein is stringently regulated in infected cells. The majority of the glycoprotein does not reach the cell surface but rather is retained in the endoplasmic reticulum or a cis-Golgi compartment and subsequently degraded. We here report that Env of various HIV-1 isolates is ubiquitinated at the extracellular domain of gp41 ...
متن کاملResistance mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 protease to inhibitors: A molecular dynamic approach
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors comprise an important class of drugs used in HIV treatments. However, mutations of protease genes accelerated by low fidelity of reverse transcriptase yield drug resistant mutants of reduced affinities for the inhibitors. This problem is considered to be a serious barrier against HIV treatment for the foreseeable future. In this st...
متن کاملHuman immunodeficiency virus type 2 Vpx-Gag interaction.
Incorporation of Vpx into human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) virus-like particles is mediated by the Gag polyprotein. We have identified residues 15 to 40 of Gag p6 and residues 73 to 89 of Vpx as being necessary for virion incorporation. In addition, we show enhanced in vitro binding of Vpx to a chimeric HIV-1/HIV-2 Gag construct containing residues 2 to 49 of HIV-2 p6 and demonstrate...
