Crystal Structure of ALIX/AIP1 in complex with the YPDL Late Domain
Structural highlights
Function[PDC6I_HUMAN] Class E VPS protein involved in concentration and sorting of cargo proteins of the multivesicular body (MVB) for incorporation into intralumenal vesicles (ILVs) that are generated by invagination and scission from the limiting membrane of the endosome. Binds to the phospholipid lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) which is abundant in MVBs internal membranes. The MVB pathway appears to require the sequential function of ESCRT-O, -I,-II and -III complexes. The ESCRT machinery also functions in topologically equivalent membrane fission events, such as the terminal stages of cytokinesis and enveloped virus budding (HIV-1 and other lentiviruses). Appears to be an adapter for a subset of ESCRT-III proteins, such as CHMP4, to function at distinct membranes. Required for completion of cytokinesis. Involved in HIV-1 virus budding. Can replace TSG101 it its role of supporting HIV-1 release; this function implies the interaction with CHMP4B. May play a role in the regulation of both apoptosis and cell proliferation.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [GAG_EIAVY] Matrix protein p15 forms the outer shell of the core of the virus, lining the inner surface of the viral membrane (By similarity). Capsid protein p26 forms the conical core of the virus that encapsulates the genomic RNA-nucleocapsid complex (By similarity). Nucleocapsid protein p11 encapsulates and protects viral dimeric unspliced (genomic) RNA. Binds these RNAs through its zinc fingers (By similarity). p9 plays a role in budding of the assembled particle by interacting with PDCD6IP/AIP1 (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMedRetrovirus budding requires short peptide motifs (late domains) located within the viral Gag protein that function by recruiting cellular factors. The YPX(n)L late domains of HIV and other lentiviruses recruit the protein ALIX (also known as AIP1), which also functions in vesicle formation at the multivesicular body and in the abscission stage of cytokinesis. Here, we report the crystal structures of ALIX in complex with the YPX(n)L late domains from HIV-1 and EIAV. The two distinct late domains bind at the same site on the ALIX V domain but adopt different conformations that allow them to make equivalent contacts. Binding studies and functional assays verified the importance of key interface residues and revealed that binding affinities are tuned by context-dependent effects. These results reveal how YPX(n)L late domains recruit ALIX to facilitate virus budding and how ALIX can bind YPX(n)L sequences with both n = 1 and n = 3.
