概括

艾滋病毒-1整合酶 (IN) 形成多样化的内体复合体. 研究表明,野生类型的IN,像Sso7d-IN一样,组装了各种多重体物种,这表明它具有用于逆转录病毒DNA集成的内在组装特性.

科学领域:

分子生物学分子生物学
结构生物学结构生物学
病毒学病毒学

背景情况:

逆转录病毒DNA的整合是由intasomes,核蛋白复合体主导的,其中病毒DNA的末端由整合酶 (IN) 多重体弥合.
高分辨率的HIV-1内分体研究通常使用IN与Sso7d域融合,从而减少聚合并促进结构分析.
之前的结构数据显示了HIV-1的多样化的内体结构 (四重体,十二重体),与相关的逆转录病毒的独特多重体组合形成鲜明对比.

研究的目的:

调查Sso7d融合域是否有助于观察到的HIV-1 intasome组装中的异质性.
为了确定野生型HIV-1整合酶是否表现出与Sso7d融合变体相似的多重体组合特性.

主要方法:

在用野生型HIV-1整合酶组装的内体体上进行了生物化学和结构分析.
消极染色和冷电子显微镜 (cryo-EM) 用于表征体结构和多重体状态.

主要成果:

野生类型的HIV-1 IN组装了与Sso7d-IN.观察到的类似的多重体体物种范围.
野生类型和Sso7d-IN内体体都显示出相同的共同核心架构.
在野生类型和Sso7d-IN复合体中观察到由域互换产生的某些堆.
倾向于多分子组装是HIV-1 IN的内在特征,不依赖Sso7d域.

结论:

该Sso7d域没有在HIV-1 intasome组合中观察到的异质性.
多种多重体内体物种的组合是野生型HIV-1整合酶的内在属性.
在不同的逆转录病毒物种中,可以以各种方式组装一个共同的Intasome核心架构,从而实现催化.

Protein Complex Assembly

Protein Complex Assembly

Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types. Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

LTR Retrotransposons

LTR Retrotransposons

LTR retrotransposons are class I transposable elements with long terminal repeats flanking an internal coding region. These elements are less abundant in mammals compared to other class I transposable elements. About 8 percent of human genomic DNA comprises LTR retrotransposons. Some of the common examples of LTR retrotransposons are Ty elements in yeast and Copia elements in Drosophila.
The internal coding region of LTR retrotransposons and their mechanism of transposition closely resembles a...

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies

Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are small vesicles 50-80 nm in diameter formed during the maturation of early endosomes. A specialized endosome containing numerous ILVs is called a multivesicular body (MVB). ILVs contain internalized molecules such as antigens, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Some of these molecules are released from the MVBs inside exosomes and are transported to other cells. Other MVBs contain molecules that are retained in the ILVs and are later degraded within the...
