Megjegyzések:The proteinase of the equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), a lentivirus closely related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), was purified from concentrated virus. The specificity of the enzyme was characterized using oligopeptides representing naturally occurring cleavage sites in the Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins. The length of the substrate binding pocket was found to be 1-2 residues longer than that of HIV proteinases. Although the EIAV and HIV proteinases cleaved most of the peptides at the same bond, some were hydrolyzed by only the EIAV enzyme. Oligopeptides representing cleavage sites in the nucleocapsid protein were also found to be substrates of the EIAV proteinase. However, these peptides were not hydrolyzed by the HIV proteinases. While peptides representing the corresponding sequences in the first cysteine arrays of the nucleocapsid proteins of HIV-1 and HIV-2 were substrates of the proteinases, peptides representing the homologous sequences in the second Cys arrays were resistant against the proteolytic attack. A three-dimensional model of the EIAV proteinase built on the basis of homology with HIV-1 proteinase was used to interpret the differences. In addition to the oligopeptides representing cleavage sites in the Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins, the EIAV proteinase was also able to cleave an oligopeptide mimicking a cleavage site in the transmembrane protein. Our results suggest that the specificity of lentiviral proteinases share common characteristics, although substantial differences may exist in hydrolysis of some peptides.
