A Soluble Active Mutant of HIV-1 Integrase

Abstract

Structural studies of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase have been impeded by the low solubility of the protein. By systematic replacement of hydrophobic residues, we previously identified a single amino acid change (F185K) that dramatically improved the solubility of the catalytic domain of HIV-1 integrase and enabled the structure to be determined by x-ray crystallography. We have introduced the same mutation into full-length HIV-1 integrase. The resulting recombinant protein is soluble and fully active in vitro, whereas, HIV-1 carrying the mutation is replication-defective due to improper virus assembly. Analysis of the recombinant protein by gel filtration and sedimentation equilibrium demonstrate a dimer-tetramer self-association. We find that the regions involved in multimerization map to both the catalytic core and carboxyl-terminal domains. The dramatically improved solubility of this protein make it a good candidate for structural studies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
