The effect of HIV-1 Gag myristoylation on membrane binding.

During the viral life cycle, an HIV protein, Gag, assembles at the host membrane, specifically at lipid raft regions, at very high concentrations leading to viral particle budding. Gag is post-translationally modified with an N-terminal myristate group which is thought to target Gag to lipid rafts thus aiding in assembly. Here we have analyzed the membrane binding of myristoylated HIV-1 Gag and a non-myristoylated form of HIV-1 Gag to various membrane models. After assessing the extent of myristoylation by HPLC and radiometric assays, we compared membrane binding using fluorescence methods. We found that myristoylated Gag shows a greater than twofold increase in binding affinity to model rafts. A structural model to explain these results is presented.

Regional distribution and cellular localization of the ETS-domain transcription factor, FEV, mRNA in the human postmortem brain.

The ETS transcription factor Fifth Ewing Variant (FEV) mRNA, a homologue of the rodent Pet-1 gene that is exclusively expressed in serotonin-containing neurons and is a critical determinant of serotonin neuronal differentiation and development, was examined in human postmortem brain tissue using in situ hybridization histochemistry. Studies revealed that FEV mRNA is robustly and exclusively expressed in the major serotonin-containing cell groups of the dorsal and median raphe nuclei located in the midbrain and pons of the human brainstem. The localization of transcription factor, FEV, mRNA in serotonin-containing neurons of the human brain raises questions regarding the functional significance of this transcription factor in regulating serotonin-related genes and its potential role in psychiatric illness.

Proline residues of transmembrane domains determine the sorting of inner membrane proteins in mitochondria.

Most inner membrane proteins of mitochondria are synthesized in the cytosol and reach the inner membrane using one of two alternative sorting pathways. On the stop transfer route, proteins are arrested during import at the level of the inner membrane. The conservative sorting pathway involves translocation through the inner membrane and insertion from the matrix. It is unclear how the translocase of the inner membrane 23 protein translocation machinery differentiates between the two classes of proteins. Here we show that proline residues in hydrophobic stretches strongly disfavor the translocation arrest of transmembrane domains (TMDs) and favor the transfer of preproteins to the matrix. We propose that proline residues, together with the hydrophobicity of the TMD and the presence of charged residues COOH-terminally flanking the TMD, are determinants of the intramitochondrial sorting of inner membrane proteins.
