Membrane interaction of retroviral Gag proteins
Assembly of an infectious retroviral particle relies on multimerization of the Gag polyprotein at the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane. The three domains of Gag common to all retroviruses - MA, CA, and NC - provide the signals for membrane binding, assembly, and viral RNA packaging, respectively. These signals do not function independently of one another. For example, Gag multimerization en...
متن کاملNew insights into retroviral Gag–Gag and Gag–membrane interactions
A critical aspect of viral replication is the assembly of virus particles, which are subsequently released as progeny virus. While a great deal of attention has been focused on better understanding this phase of the viral life cycle, many aspects of the molecular details remain poorly understood. This is certainly true for retroviruses, including that of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 ...
متن کاملIntermolecular interactions between retroviral Gag proteins in the nucleus.
The retroviral Gag polyprotein directs virus particle assembly, resulting in the release of virions from the plasma membranes of infected cells. The earliest steps in assembly, those immediately following Gag synthesis, are very poorly understood. For Rous sarcoma virus (RSV), Gag proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm and then undergo transient nuclear trafficking before returning to the cy...
متن کاملMembrane Binding and Subcellular Localization of Retroviral Gag Proteins Are Differentially Regulated by MA Interactions with Phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-Bisphosphate and RNA
UNLABELLED The matrix (MA) domain of HIV-1 mediates proper Gag localization and membrane binding via interaction with a plasma-membrane (PM)-specific acidic phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2]. HIV-1 MA also interacts with RNA, which prevents Gag from binding to membranes containing phosphatidylserine, a prevalent cellular acidic phospholipid. These results suggest...
متن کاملA myristoyl switch regulates membrane binding of HIV-1 Gag.
H ow and where are virus particles assembled in an infected cell? To address this question, virologists are studying retroviruses and lentiviruses, enveloped viruses that contain RNA as their genetic material. The only viral protein that is needed to make a virus-like particle is the Gag protein (1, 2). In the lentivirus HIV-1, Gag is synthesized as a cytosolic 55-kDa precursor (Pr55gag) that c...
