About
DR. GUATELLI-ENHANCEMENT OF INFECTIVITY BY HIV-1 VIA ANTAGONISM OF SERINC PROTEINS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO 1) COMBINE OUR BIOCHEMICAL, CELL BIOLOGIC, AND VIROLOGIC ASSAYS TO VALIDATE AND ELABORATE THESE MECHANISMS 2) DETERMINE THE STRUCTURAL BASIS OF SERINC ANTAGONISM BY NEF. WE AIM TO PROVIDE HIGH-RESOLUTION STRUCTURES OF THE INTERACTION OF NEF WITH SERINC PROTEINS AND CLATHRIN ADAPTORS. 3) DETERMINE HOW SERINC PROTEINS AFFECT INFECTIVITY IN AN ENV-DEPENDENT MANNER. TO FACILITATE AN UNDERSTANDING OF SERINC FUNCTION, WE WILL CHARACTERIZE A FULL-LENGTH PROTEIN BIOPHYSICALLY AND AIM TO PROVIDE A HIGH-RESOLUTION STRUCTURE. WE WILL TEST THE HYPOTHESIS THAT SERINC PROTEINS INTERACT WITH ENV TO INHIBIT INFECTIVITY AND MAP THE INTERACTION. WE WILL DETERMINE WHETHER SERINC PROTEINS AFFECT THE CONFORMATION OF ENV TRIMERS AS DISPLAYED ON THE CELL SURFACE AND ON VIRIONS. LASTLY, WE WILL ELABORATE A MODEL IN WHICH THE CYTOPLASMIC DOMAIN OF ENV CONTRIBUTES TO COUNTERACTION OF SERINC PROTEINS. WHEN THE PROPOSED EXPERIMENTS ARE COMPLETE, WE SHOULD HAVE A HIGH RESOLUTION MECHANISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF HOW NEF COUNTERACTS THE INHIBITORY INFLUENCE OF THE SERINC PROTEINS ON VIRAL INFECTIVITY, AND A MODEL FOR HOW THE ACTIVITY OF ENV IS INHIBITED BY THESE PROTEINS.
