Biochemical evidence of a role for matrix trimerization in HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein incorporation.
The matrix (MA) domain of HIV Gag has important functions in directing the trafficking of Gag to sites of assembly and mediating the incorporation of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) into assembling particles. HIV-1 MA has been shown to form trimers in vitro; however, neither the presence nor the role of MA trimers has been documented in HIV-1 virions. We developed a cross-linking strategy to re...
متن کاملGlobal Rescue of Defects in HIV-1 Envelope Glycoprotein Incorporation: Implications for Matrix Structure
The matrix (MA) domain of HIV-1 Gag plays key roles in membrane targeting of Gag, and envelope (Env) glycoprotein incorporation into virions. Although a trimeric MA structure has been available since 1996, evidence for functional MA trimers has been elusive. The mechanism of HIV-1 Env recruitment into virions likewise remains unclear. Here, we identify a point mutation in MA that rescues the En...
متن کاملCyclosporine blocks incorporation of HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein into virions.
Cyclosporine (CsA) decreases HIV-1 infectivity by blocking HIV-1 capsid (CA) interaction with target cell cyclophilin A (CypA). Yet, HIV-1 virions produced in the presence of CsA also exhibit decreased infectivity that was previously shown to be independent of the well-characterized HIV-1 CA-CypA interaction. Here, we demonstrate that CsA decreases gp120 and gp41 incorporation into HIV-1 virion...
متن کاملInfluences on trimerization and aggregation of soluble, cleaved HIV-1 SOSIP envelope glycoprotein.
We describe methods to improve the properties of soluble, cleaved gp140 trimers of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoproteins (Env) for use in structural studies and as immunogens. In the absence of nonionic detergents, gp140 of the KNH1144 genotype, terminating at residue 681 in gp41 (SOSIP.681), has a tendency to form higher-order complexes or aggregates, which is ...
متن کاملHIV-1 ENVELOPE. Effect of the cytoplasmic domain on antigenic characteristics of HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein.
A major goal for HIV-1 vaccine development is the production of an immunogen to mimic native, functional HIV-1 envelope trimeric spikes (Env) on the virion surface. We lack a reliable description of a native, functional trimer, however, because of inherent instability and heterogeneity in most preparations. We describe here two conformationally homogeneous Envs derived from difficult-to-neutral...
