DNA strand exchange and selective DNA annealing promoted by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nucleocapsid protein

Open access

Abstract

Nucleocapsid protein (NC) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified. The protein displayed a variety of activities on DNA structure, all reflecting an ability to promote transition between double-helical and single-stranded conformations. We found that, in addition to its previously described ability to accelerate renaturation of complementary DNA strands, the HIV-1 NC protein could substantially lower the melting temperature of duplex DNA and could promote strand exchange between double-stranded and single-stranded DNA molecules. Moreover, in the presence of HIV-1 NC, annealing of a single-stranded DNA molecule to a complementary DNA strand that would yield a more stable double-stranded product was favored over annealing to alternative complementary DNA strands that would form less stable duplex products (selective annealing). NC thus appears to lower the kinetic barrier so that double-strand <==> single-strand equilibrium is rapidly reached to favor the lowest free-energy nucleic acid conformation. This activity of NC may be important for correct folding of viral genomic RNA and may have practical applications.

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.
