RESUMO
The final stages of budding and release of a retroviral particle from the cell require the late (L) domain of Gag. Recently, ubiquitin and ubiquitin ligases have been implicated in the late stages of retroviral budding. In a yeast two-hybrid screen of a T-cell cDNA library to identify cellular proteins that interact with human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) Gag polyprotein, we identified Tsg101, an inactive homologue of ubiquitin ligase E2. Tsg101 and HIV-2 Gag interact specifically in vitro and in vivo. The interaction requires the L domain PTAPP motif in the p6 domain of HIV-2 Gag and the N-terminal Ubc-conjugation homology domain of Tsg101. Tsg101 is incorporated into HIV-2 virions. Expression of the N-terminal Ubc-conjugation homology domain of Tsg101 inhibits the release of HIV-2 virus particles. Overexpression of Tsg101 results in an increase in the level of ubiquitination of HIV-2 Gag. Our results provide evidence for recruitment of the ubiquitination machinery of the cell during late stages of the viral life cycle, mediated by the viral Gag protein.
