Solution structures and characterization of HIV RRE IIB RNA targeting zinc finger proteins
Overview
The Rev responsive element (RRE), a part of unspliced human, immunodeficiency virus (HIV) RNA, serves a crucial role in the production, of infectious HIV virions. The viral protein Rev binds to RRE and, facilitates transport of mRNA to the cytoplasm. Inhibition of the Rev-RRE, interaction disrupts the viral life cycle. Using a phage display protocol, dual zinc finger proteins (ZNFs) were generated that bind specifically to, RREIIB at the high affinity Rev binding site. These proteins were further, shortened and simplified, and they still retained their RNA binding, affinity. The solution structures of ZNF29 and a mutant, ZNF29G29R, have, been determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Both, proteins form C(2)H(2)-type zinc fingers with essentially identical, structures. RNA protein interactions were evaluated quantitatively by, isothermal titration calorimetry, which revealed dissociation constants, (K(d)'s) in the nanomolar range. The interaction with the RNA is dependent, upon the zinc finger structure; in the presence of EDTA, RNA binding is, abolished. For both proteins, RNA binding is mediated by the alpha-helical, portion of the zinc fingers and target the bulge region of RREIIB-TR., However, ZNF29G29R exhibits significantly stronger binding to the RNA, target than ZNF29; this illustrates that the binding of the zinc finger, scaffold is amenable to further improvements.
