Immature virions with an electron dense ring structure purchase AP24534 as well as mature parti cles with an electron dense core were observed at the cell surface, whereas virus pellets con sisted exclusively of mature virions, By co expressing a reconstituted HERV K113 envelope protein in trans it was possible to show by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy that the protein can be incorpo rated into the VLPs. Moreover, the supernatant of cells expressing the VLPs contain reverse transcriptase activ ity as measured using the Cavidi RT Assay, Identification and characterization of the major mature HERV K Gag proteins We next analyzed proteins in the virus pellets by silver nitrate stained sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, In addition to the ori coHERV K113 GagProPol, cells were also transfected with a maturation defective mutant carrying PR inactivating D204A, T205A and G206A mutations in the active site of the enzyme.<br><br> A protein migrating with an apparent molecu lar mass of 78 kDa, corresponding well to the expected size of the HERV K Gag precursor protein, was present in pellets of the PR mutant. Such a band was absent or barely visible in pellets of reconsti tuted VLPs carrying an active PR, Here, bands of 36 kDa, 27 kDa, 15 18 kDa and 12 kDa, pre sumably processed Gag polypeptides, buy AT7519 were exclusively present in these pellets, Expression of the reconstituted proteins encoded in the gag pro pol region of HERV K113 therefore leads to the production and release of maturation competent VLPs.<br><br> A comparison of the HERV K Gag sequence with those of other betaretroviruses suggests that in addition to the canonical matrix, capsid and nucleocapsid proteins, at least one further poly peptide of approximately selective Akt 阻害剤 15 kDa might be encoded between the MA and CA domains. Such protein are known to exist in the clo sely related MMTV and MPMV viral particles, In an attempt to assign the mature Gag proteins observed to the expected MA, p15, CA and NC proces sing products we generated a series of specific antisera by immunizing rats with E. coli expressed fragments of the Pr74Gag protein. An antiserum raised against amino acids 1 100, expected to include the MA protein, reacted with a 36 kDa and a 16 kDa protein, A second antiserum, specific for amino acids 140 282, also recognized the 36 kDa protein and a tri plet of bands in the 15 18 kDa region, The ratio of intensities between the triplet bands and the 36 kDa band varied to some extent, depending on the pre paration.<br><br> Since the 36 kDa protein was detected by the aMA and the ap15 antisera, we assume that this pro tein represents a processing intermediate comprising the approximately 16 kDa MA and the p15 protein. Finally, a single band of 27 kDa was detected using an anti serum specific for amino acids 283 526, presum ably corresponding to the CA subdomain. All three antisera reacted with the unprocessed Gag precursor expressed by the inactive PR mutant, To further delineate the nature of the processed HERV K Gag domains, we separated the pro teins from mature VLPs by HPLC on a reverse phase column.
