M-DOMAIN FROM GAG POLYPROTEIN OF ROUS SARCOMA VIRUS, NMR, 20 STRUCTURES
Overview
A biologically active construct of the retroviral M domain from the avian Rous sarcoma virus is defined and its solution structure described. This M domain is fully active in budding and infectivity without myristylation. In spite of a sequence homology level that suggests no relationship among M domains and the family of matrix proteins in mammalian retroviruses, the conserved structural elements of a central core allow an M domain sequence motif to be described for all retroviruses. The surface of the M domain has a highly clustered positive patch comprised of sequentially distant residues. An analysis of the backbone dynamics, incorporating rotational anisotropy, is used to estimate the thermodynamics of proposed domain oligomerization.
