Abstract
The cellular protein, cyclophilin A (CypA), is incorporated into the virion of the type 1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) via a direct interaction with the capsid domain of the viral Gag polyprotein. We demonstrate that the capsid sequence 87His-Ala-Gly-Pro-Ile-Ala92 (87HAGPIA92) encompasses the primary cyclophilin A binding site and present an X-ray crystal structure of the CypA/HAGPIA complex. In contrast to the cis prolines observed in all previously reported structures of CypA complexed with model peptides, the proline in this peptide, Pro 90, binds the cyclophilin A active site in a trans conformation. We also report the crystal structure of a complex between CypA and the hexapeptide HVGPIA, which also maintains the trans conformation. Comparison with the recently determined structures of CypA in complexes with larger fragments of the HIV-1 capsid protein demonstrates that CypA recognition of these hexapeptides involves contacts with peptide residues Ala(Val) 88, Gly 89, and Pro 90, and is independent of the context of longer sequences.
Figure 6.
Fig. 6. A: HAGPIA and CypA are shown in CPK and ribbon representa- tions, respectively. B: Orthogonal view. C: The molecular surface of CypA is colored gray and green according to curvature. CypA residues that in- teract with HAGPIA are shown, and residues that hydrogen bond (magen- ta) HAGPIA re in yellow. H drogen bonds are defined as acceptor to donor distances of less than 3.3 x. The HAGPIA N-terminal histidine and C-terminal alanine are labeled in For clarity, the side chains f the histidine and isoleucine have been omitted. Two ordered water that form bridging hydrogen bonds between peptide main chain and CypA active site residues are shown as blue spheres.
