New 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 کاملProtein transduction from retroviral Gag precursors.
Retroviral particles assemble a few thousand units of the Gag polyproteins. Proteolytic cleavage mediated by the retroviral protease forms the bioactive retroviral protein subunits before cell entry. We hypothesized that this process could be exploited for targeted, transient, and dose-controlled transduction of nonretroviral proteins into cultured cells. We demonstrate that gammaretroviral par...
متن کاملCellular motor protein KIF-4 associates with retroviral Gag.
Previously we demonstrated that murine retroviral Gag proteins associate with a cellular motor protein, KIF-4. Using the yeast two-hybrid assay, we also found an association of KIF-4 with Gag proteins of Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (MPMV), simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Studies performed with mammalian cell systems confirmed that the HIV-1 Ga...
متن کاملRNA incorporation is critical for retroviral particle integrity after cell membrane assembly of Gag complexes.
The nucleocapsid (NC) domain of retroviruses plays a critical role in specific viral RNA packaging and virus assembly. RNA is thought to facilitate viral particle assembly, but the results described here with NC mutants indicate that it also plays a critical role in particle integrity. We investigated the assembly and integrity of particles produced by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 M1...
متن کاملRetroviral Env Glycoprotein Trafficking and Incorporation into Virions
Together with the Gag protein, the Env glycoprotein is a major retroviral structural protein and is essential for forming infectious virus particles. Env is synthesized, processed, and transported to certain microdomains at the plasma membrane and takes advantage of the same host machinery for its trafficking as that used by cellular glycoproteins. Incorporation of Env into progeny virions is p...
