Binding of murine leukemia virus Gag polyproteins to KIF4, a microtubule-based motor protein.

چکیده
A cDNA clone encoding a cellular protein that interacts with murine leukemia virus (MuLV) Gag proteins was isolated from a T-cell lymphoma library. The sequence of the clone is identical to the C terminus of a cellular protein, KIF4, a microtubule-associated motor protein that belongs to the kinesin superfamily. KIF4-MuLV Gag associations have been detected in vitro and in vivo in mammalian cells. We suggest that KIF4 could be involved in Gag polyprotein translocation from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane.

Murine leukemia virus proteins expressed on the surface of infected cells in culture.
Infection of JLS-V9 cells in culture with Rauscher murine leukemia virus induced the appearance on the cell surface of two classes of viral proteins: Rauscher murine leukemia virus gp70, and glycoproteins related to the viral core (gag) proteins with apparent molecular weights in sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels of 80 x 10(3) and 95 x 10(3). The latter proteins were identified by lact...
متن کاملA novel microtubule-based motor protein (KIF4) for organelle transports, whose expression is regulated developmentally
To understand the mechanisms of transport for organelles in the axon, we isolated and sequenced the cDNA encoding KIF4 from murine brain, and characterized the molecule biochemically and immunocytochemically. Complete amino acid sequence analysis of KIF4 and ultrastructural studies of KIF4 molecules expressed in Sf9 cells revealed that the protein contains 1,231 amino acid residues (M(r) 139,55...

Products of both the env (envelope) and gag (core) genes of murine leukemia viruses (MuLV) are present on the plasma membrane of AKR mouse thymocytes (1, 2). The env product is gp70. The gag products are the polyproteins gP85 and gP95. The expression of antigens associated with both gp70 and the polyproteins on AKR thymocytes becomes amplified before the onset of overt leukemia (3). In this rep...
متن کاملHuman kinesin superfamily member 4 is dominantly localized in the nuclear matrix and is associated with chromosomes during mitosis.
In a previous study, we identified the human counterpart of murine kinesin superfamily member 4 (KIF4), a microtubule-based motor protein [Oh, Hahn, Torrey, Shin, Choi, Lee, Morse and Kim (2000) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1493, 219-224]. As an initial step to understand the function(s) of human KIF4, its subcellular localization in HeLa cells was examined by using immunocytochemical and subcellular...
متن کاملThe p12 Domain Is Unstructured in a Murine Leukemia Virus p12-CAN Gag Construct
The Gag polyproteins of gammaretroviruses contain a conserved p12 domain between MA and CA that plays critical roles in virus assembly, reverse transcription and nuclear integration. Here we show using nuclear magnetic resonance, that p12 is unstructured in a Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV) Gag fragment that includes the N-terminal domain of CA (p12-CA(N)). Furthermore, no long range inter...
