The Life-Cycle of the HIV-1 Gag–RNA Complex
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication is a highly regulated process requiring the recruitment of viral and cellular components to the plasma membrane for assembly into infectious particles. This review highlights the recent process of understanding the selection of the genomic RNA (gRNA) by the viral Pr55(Gag) precursor polyprotein, and the processes leading to its incorporation into viral particles.

HIV-1 gag proteins: diverse functions in the virus life cycle.
The Gag proteins of HIV-1, like those of other retroviruses, are necessary and sufficient for the assembly of virus-like particles. The roles played by HIV-1 Gag proteins during the life cycle are numerous and complex, involving not only assembly but also virion maturation after particle release and early postentry steps in virus replication. As the individual Gag domains carry out their divers...
متن کاملCharacterization of Immune Responses Induced by Combined Clade-A HIV-1 Recombinant Adenovectors in Mice
Background: Numerous evidences indicate that in some HIV-1 positive patients, the humoral and cellular immune responses are induced against HIV-1 proteins and this is inversely related to the progress of infection. Objective: The aim of this study was the evaluation of the Adenovectors containing HIV genes in induction of immune responses in mice. Methods: The HIV-1 genes including gag p24, rev...
متن کاملInteraction of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nucleocapsid with actin.
The nucleocapsid (NC) domain of the retrovirus Gag protein plays several important roles in the viral life cycle, including virus assembly, viral genomic RNA encapsidation, primer tRNA placement, and enhancement of viral reverse transcription. In this study, deletion of NC domain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag was found to drastically reduce virus particle production in CD4(...
متن کاملInhibition of HIV-1 infection by small interfering RNA-mediated RNA interference.
RNA interference (RNAi) is an ancient antiviral response that processes dsRNA and associates it into a nuclease complex that identifies RNA with sequence homology and specifically cleaves it. We demonstrate that RNAi mediated by 21-bp dsRNA specifically inhibits HIV-1 infection of permanent cell lines and primary CD4(+) T cells. Inhibition of HIV replication was measured by p24 Gag protein cont...
متن کاملRole of RNA in facilitating Gag/Gag-Pol interaction.
We have examined the influence of RNA upon the interaction of Gag-Pol with Gag during human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) assembly. COS7 cells were transfected with protease-negative HIV-1 proviral DNA, and Gag/Gag-Pol complexes were detected by coimmunoprecipitation with anti-integrase. In COS7 cells, Gag/Gag-Pol is found almost entirely in pelletable, membrane-bound complexes. Exposur...
