GANP interacts with APOBEC3G and facilitates its encapsidation into the virions to reduce HIV-1 infectivity.
The ssDNA-dependent deoxycytidine deaminase apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing, enzyme-catalytic, polypeptide-like 3G (A3G) is a potent restrictive factor against HIV-1 virus lacking viral-encoded infectivity factor (Vif) in CD4(+) T cells. A3G antiretroviral activity requires its encapsulation into HIV-1 virions. In this study, we show that germinal center-associated nuclear protein (GANP) is induc...
متن کاملThe Roles of APOBEC3G Complexes in the Incorporation of APOBEC3G into HIV-1
BACKGROUND The incorporation of human APOBEC3G (hA3G) into HIV is required for exerting its antiviral activity, therefore the mechanism underlying hA3G virion encapsidation has been investigated extensively. hA3G was shown to form low-molecular-mass (LMM) and high-molecular-mass (HMM) complexes. The function of different forms of hA3G in its viral incorporation remains unclear. METHODOLOGY/PR...
متن کاملSpecies-Specific Exclusion of APOBEC3G from HIV-1 Virions by Vif
The HIV-1 accessory protein Vif (virion infectivity factor) is required for the production of infectious virions by CD4(+) lymphocytes. Vif facilitates particle infectivity by blocking the inhibitory activity of APOBEC3G (CEM15), a virion-encapsidated cellular protein that deaminates minus-strand reverse transcript cytosines to uracils. We report that HIV-1 Vif forms a complex with human APOBEC...
متن کاملRNA-Dependent Oligomerization of APOBEC3G Is Required for Restriction of HIV-1
The human cytidine deaminase APOBEC3G (A3G) is a potent inhibitor of retroviruses and transposable elements and is able to deaminate cytidines to uridines in single-stranded DNA replication intermediates. A3G contains two canonical cytidine deaminase domains (CDAs), of which only the C-terminal one is known to mediate cytidine deamination. By exploiting the crystal structure of the related tetr...
متن کاملNewly Synthesized APOBEC3G Is Incorporated into HIV Virions, Inhibited by HIV RNA, and Subsequently Activated by RNase H
APOBEC3G (A3G) is a potent antiretroviral deoxycytidine deaminase that, when incorporated into HIV virions, hypermutates nascent viral DNA formed during reverse transcription. HIV Vif counters the effect of A3G by depleting intracellular stores of the enzyme, thereby blocking its virion incorporation. Through pulse-chase analyses, we demonstrate that virion A3G is mainly recruited from the cell...
