TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: NMR structural characterization of HIV-1 virus protein U cytoplasmic domain in the presence of dodecylphosphatidylcholine micelles

The HIV-1 encoded virus protein U (VpU) is required for efficient viral release from human host cells and for induction of CD4 degradation in the endoplasmic reticulum. The cytoplasmic domain of the membrane protein VpU (VpUcyt) is essential for the latter activity. The structure and dynam-ics of VpUcyt were characterized in the presence of membrane simulating dodecylphosphatidylcholine (DPC) micelles by high-resolution liquid state NMR. | ễFEBS Journal NMR structural characterization of HIV-1 virus protein U cytoplasmic domain in the presence of dodecylphosphatidylcholine micelles Marc Wittlich1 2 Bernd W.

The cytoplasmic domain of the membrane protein VpU VpUcyt is essential for the latter activity. The structure and dynamics of VpUcyt were characterized in the presence of membrane simulating dodecylphosphatidylcholine DPC micelles by high-resolution liquid state NMR. VpUcyt is unstructured in aqueous buffer. The addition of DPC micelles induces a well-defined membrane proximal a-helix residues I39-E48 and an additional helical segment residues L64-R70 . A tight loop L73-V78 is observed close to the C-terminus whereas the interhelical linker R49-E63 remains highly flexible. A 3D structure of VpUcyt in the presence of DPC micelles was calculated from a large set of proton-proton distance constraints. The topology of micelle-associated VpUcyt was derived from paramagnetic relaxation enhancement of protein nuclear spins after the introduction of paramagnetic probes into the interior
