Chromosomal distribution and coding capacity of the human endogenous retrovirus HERV-W family.

Abstract:

:Some genomic elements of the multicopy HERV-W endogenous retroviral family have been previously identified in databases. One of them, located on chromosome 7, contains a single complete open reading frame (ORF) putatively encoding an envelope protein. We have experimentally investigated the genomic complexity and coding capacity of the HERV-W family. The human haploid genome contains at least 70, 100, and 30 HERV-W-related gag, pro, and env regions, respectively, widely and heterogeneously dispersed among chromosomes. Using in vitro transcription-translation procedures, three putative HERV-W gag, pro, and env ORFs were detected on chromosomes 3, 6, and 7, respectively, and their sequences analyzed. A 363 amino acid gag ORF containing matrix and carboxy-terminal truncated capsid domains encoded a putative 45-kDa protein. No gag-pro ORF was found, but a pro sequence containing a DTG active site was detected. Finally, the previously described 538 amino acid HERV-W env ORF, located on chromosome 7, was shown to be unique and encoded a putative 80-kDa glycosylated protein. Proteins of molecular mass identical to the one obtained by an in vitro transcription-translation procedure were detected in human placenta, using anti HERV-W Gag- and Env-specific antibodies. The absence of an HERV-W replication-competent provirus versus the existence of HERV-W-related Gag and Env proteins in healthy human placenta is discussed with respect to particle formation, physiology, and pathology.

  • Identification of unusual and novel HIV type 1 spliced transcripts generated in vivo.

    abstract::HIV-1 transcripts are generated through a complex alternative splicing mechanism, resulting in the production of multiple RNAs coding for each viral protein.
