Global and local structural properties of the principal neutralizing determinant of the HIV-1 envelope protein gp120.

Abstract:

:The model of spatial structure for the principal neutralizing determinant (PND) of the HIV-1 envelope protein gp120 is proposed in terms of two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) spectroscopy data. To build the model, the NMR-based theoretical conformational analysis of synthetic PND peptides of length 40, 24, and 12 residues is carried out. The modeling of the molecular spatial structures is performed by a new approach to research of conformationally mobile peptides using the algorithms of the restrained molecular mechanics method developed earlier. The following major conclusions are made based on the analysis of the simulated peptide conformations: i) there is not unique PND structure in solution, ii) there are seven different PND structures each of which agrees with the experimental data and stereochemical criteria used in computing its spatial model, iii) the PND is characterized by irregular conformation containing a number of reverse turns, iv) all of the selected conformations are conserved in the Gly-Pro-Gly-Arg-Ala-Phe stretch, the most probable viral immunodominant epitope. These data allow to suppose that binding properties of this site are determined by the structural motif which forms the conformation of a double beta-turn and appears common for all hexapeptide structures.
