Abstract:
:The internal structural proteins of retroviruses are proteolytically processed from the Gag polyprotein, which alone is able to assemble into virus-like particles when expressed in cells. All Gag proteins contain domains corresponding to the three structural proteins MA, CA, and NC. We have expressed the CA and NC domains together as a unit in Escherichia coli, both for Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). We also expressed a similar HIV-1 protein carrying the C-terminal p6 domain. RSV CA-NC, HIV-1 CA-NC, and HIV-1 CA-NC-p6 were purified in native form by classic methods. After adjustment of the pH and salt concentration, each of these proteins was found to assemble at a low level of efficiency into structures that resembled circular sheets and roughly spherical particles. The presence of RNA dramatically increased the efficiency of assembly, and in this case all three proteins formed hollow, cylindrical particles whose lengths were determined by the size of the RNA. The optimal pH at which assembly occurred was 5.5 for the RSV protein and 8.0 for the HIV-1 proteins. The treatment of the RSV CA-NC cylindrical particles with nonionic detergent, with ribonuclease, or with viral protease caused disassembly. These results suggest that RNA plays an important structural role in the virion and that it may initiate and organize the assembly process. The in vitro system described should facilitate the dissection of assembly pathways in retroviruses.
