Definition of a domain of GLVR1 which is necessary for infection by gibbon ape leukemia virus and which is highly polymorphic between species

Abstract: Expression of human GLVR1 in mouse cells confers susceptibility to infection by gibbon ape leukemia virus (GALV), while the normally expressed mouse Glvr-1 does not. Since human and murine GLVR1 proteins differ at 64 positions in their sequences, some of the residues differing between the two proteins are critical for infection. To identify these, a series of hybrids and in vitro-constructed mutants were tested for the ability to confer susceptibility to infection. The results indicated that human GLVR1 residu… Show more

“…Study of AS208 binding will be useful to investigate the expression of amphotropic envelope-binding sites on potential target cells for gene therapy, as, for example, in purified subpopulations of hematopoietic progenitors. As reported for Glvr-1 (19), Ram-1 appeared to be polymorphic between mammalian species, with only certain alleles coding for functional virus receptors. The molecular basis of receptor function could be conveniently studied by using AS208 binding for a rapid screening of functional and nonfunctional mutant or chimeric molecules.…”

“…Alleles associated with susceptibility or resistance to infection have been isolated. Sequence comparison and chimeric receptor molecules led to the identification of determinants interacting with SU molecules in the third and fourth extracellular loops of the Rec-1 (1,51) and Ram-1 (19,35,48) proteins, respectively.…”

“…Moreover, the hypothesis that region A should be intracellular in PiT1 and extracellular in PiT2 seems in conflict with the observation that a PiT2 mutant with PiT1 region A sequence is receptor for both PiT1 and PiT2 cognate viruses [36] but shows unimpaired P i uptake function compared to PiT2 (P. Bøttger and L. Pedersen, unpublished work). Taken together the current data on receptor and transport functions of PiT1, PiT2, Pho4, and chimeras derived from these are all in favor [23,26,36,37,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55], or at least are not in conflict with [41], an extracellular position of region A. Thus, the most likely membrane topology of both PiT1 and PiT2 is that proposed by Salau¨n et al for PiT2 [23] (Fig.…”

“…These results demonstrate a striking similarity between determinants important for viral recognition on three otherwise unrelated retroviral receptors (2,5,15). Interestingly, the cellular receptor for gibbon ape leukemia virus contains a tyrosine (at position 549) which is immediately adjacent to a charged amino acid required for infection, but the importance of this aromatic residue remains to be determined (14,21,24).…”
