ABSTRACT

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) nucleocapsid protein contains two copies of a sequence motif, the cysteine-histidine box, that is conserved among retroviruses. To identify the functionally relevant positions of a cysteine-histidine box, each amino acid in the proximal copy of the motif was individually substituted by site-directed mutagenesis. Mutations at 5 of 14 positions abolished virus replication and reduced the viral RNA content of mutant particles to between 10 and 20% of parental levels. Mutations at other positions had either no or only a minor effect on virus replication and virion RNA content. In vitro binding of RNA to bacterially expressed mutant Pr55gag polyprotein correlated well with the effects of the mutations on particle-associated viral RNA levels. The two different copies of the motif in the HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein are not functionally equivalent, since the conversion of the proximal motif to an exact copy of the distal motif results in a defect in virus replication and a reduction in the viral RNA content of mutant particles. The simultaneous substitution of functionally relevant positions in both motifs led to a significant decline in gag protein export, indicating that the nucleocapsid domain of the gag precursor is also required for efficient assembly or release of the virion.
