Mechanism of Autoprocessing of a Mini-Precursor of the Aspartic Protease of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1

Abstract

During the expression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) genome to make new virions, the 99-residue protease monomer is synthesized as part of the Pr160 gag-pol precursor. After the virions are budded-out from the cell surface, the Pr160 gag-pol polyprotein is autoprocessed at eight different sites to produce mature gag proteins (p17, p24, p7, and p6) and 3 HIV enzymes (protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase). The autoprocessing is essential for the assembly of the interior of HIV virion and is essential for the infectiousness of the virus.
