Retroviral proteases

The HIV-1 protease, like other retroviral proteases, is a homodimeric aspartyl protease (see Fig. 1). The active site is formed at the dimer interface, with the two aspartic acids located at the base of the active site. The enzymatic mechanism is thought to be a classic acid-base catalysis involving a water molecule and what is called a push-pull mechanism. The water molecule is thought to transfer a proton to the dyad of the carboxyl groups of the aspartic acids, and then a proton from the dyad is transferred to the peptide bond that is being cleaved. In this mechanism, a tetrahedral intermediate transiently exists, which is nonconvalent and which is mimicked in most of the currently used FDA approved inhibitors. [Pg.87]

HIV PR and other retroviral proteases are not enzymes that have evolved to carry out a single reaction at a rapid rate, but rather enzymes with minimum specificity required to cleave the viral precursors in a specific and orderly manner. [Pg.6]

Retroviruses encode a protease (PR) responsible for cleaving polyprotein precursors, and such processing is essential for proper virion assembly and maturation. Based on the presence of a sequence Asp-Ser/Thr-Gly in the active sites of retroviral proteases (1) and their inhibition in vitro by pepstatin (2-7), these enzymes have been classified as members of the aspartic protease family. Crystal structures have been determined for the proteases from Rous sarcoma virus (RSV PR) (8), from two variants and several mutants of the human immunodeficiency vims (HIV PR) (9-11), from feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV PR) (12) and from equine infectious anemia vims (EIAV PR) (13). Aspartic proteases contain a single active site which includes two aspartates. In apoenzymes, the two catalytic Asp residues from the active site triad have been found to be in hydrogen bond contact with a water molecule (10). Mutations of the active site Asp25 in HIV-1 PR into Asn (14,15), Thr (3) or Ala (4,16,17) led to an inactive enzyme. Similarly, the RSV PR was inactivated by mutation of its active site Asp to He (18). [Pg.643]
