Opposing Effects of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Matrix Mutations Support a Myristyl Switch Model of Gag Membrane Targeting

Abstract: Targeting of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Gag precursor Pr55 gag to the plasma membrane, the site of virus assembly, is primarily mediated by the N-terminal matrix (MA) domain. N-myristylation of MA is essential for the stable association of Pr55 gag with membranes and for virus assembly. We now show that single amino acid substitutions near the N terminus of MA can dramatically impair assembly without compromisi… Show more

“…By contrast, in macrophages infected with the MA WE-AA HIV-1 mutant, lower levels of intracellular CAp24 proteins and similar levels of extracellular CAp24 were observed compared to wt HIV-1 ( Figure 3D,E). Therefore, viral release was slightly higher for the MA WE-AA HIV-1 mutant than for wt HIV-1 ( Figure 3F), as described before (31). The results obtained from three independent donors showed a 1-to 1.5-fold increase of viral release for the mutant compared to wt HIV-1 (Table 1).…”

“…Fractions 3 and 4 contain membrane-bound material; non-membrane-bound proteins are recovered in fractions 9 and 10 (37) (see Materials and Methods). Consistent with previous data obtained in HeLa cells (37,39) approximately 40% of full-length Pr55 Gag was recovered in the membrane-containing fractions (Fig. 7), whereas approximately 3% of MA floated to fractions 3 and 4.…”

“…We performed membrane flotation centrifugation (Fig. 7), which we and others have previously used to analyze steady-state HIV-1 Gag membrane binding (37,39,48). This method can distinguish oligomeric, nonmembrane-bound Gag complexes from membrane-bound Gag, a separation that cannot be achieved by conventional subcellular fractionation techniques.…”

“…Like other mammalian retrovirus matrix proteins, HIV-1 MA is myristoylated at its N-terminus, and myristoylation is essential for efficient membrane binding, virus assembly, and infectivity (Bryant and Ratner, 1990;Pal et al, 1990;Saad et al, 2006;Tang et al, 2004;. Studies support a myristoyl switch model for MA membrane association, in which the myristate group of PrGag inserts into membranes to promote binding, but that this fatty acid is retracted on proteolytic processing of PrGag, conferring a reduced membrane affinity for mature MA proteins (Hermuda-Matsumato and Resh, 1999;Paillart and Gottlinger, 1999;Spearman et al, 1997;Tang et al, 2004). Although the MA myristate is necessary for tight PrGag-membrane binding, it is not the only contributor.…”
