Formation of immature and mature genomic RNA dimers in wild-type and protease-inactive HIV-1: Differential roles of the Gag polyprotein, nucleocapsid proteins NCp15, NCp9, NCp7, and the dimerization initiation site
چکیده انگلیسی
Formation of immature genomic RNA (gRNA) dimers is exquisitely nucleocapsid (NC)-dependent in protease-inactive (PR-in) HIV-1. This establishes that Pr55gag/Pr160gag-pol has NC-dependent chaperone activity within intact HIV-1. Mutations in the proximal zinc finger and the linker of the NC sequence of Pr55gag/Pr160gag-pol abolish gRNA dimerization in PR-in HIV-1. In wild type, where the NC of Pr55gag is processed into progressively smaller proteins termed NCp15 (NCp7-p1-p6), NCp9 (NCp7-p1) and NCp7, formation of immature dimers is much swifter than in PR-in HIV-1. NCp7 and NCp15 direct this rapid accumulation. NCp9 is sluggish in this process, but it stimulates the transition from immature to mature gRNA dimer as well as NCp7 and much better than NCp15. The amino-terminus, proximal zinc finger, linker, and distal zinc finger of NCp7 contribute to this maturation event in intact HIV-1. The DIS is a dimerization initiation site for all immature gRNA dimers, irrespective of their mechanism of formation.
