Matrix protein p17 targets Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins to the plasma membrane via a multipartite membrane binding signal, that includes its myristoylated N-terminus. Also mediates nuclear localization of the preintegration complex. Implicated in the release from host cell mediated by Vpu Nucleocapsid protein p7 encapsulates and protects viral dimeric unspliced (genomic) RNA. Binds these RNAs through its zinc fingers
Tissue Specificity
5ng of recombinant protein p24 was used as immunogen.
Cellular Localization
Matrix protein p17: Virion (Potential). Host nucleus (By similarity). Host cytoplasm (By similarity). Host cell membrane; Lipid-anchor (Potential). Note=Following virus entry, the nuclear localization signal (NLS) of the matrix protein participates with Vpr to the nuclear localization of the viral genome. During virus production, the nuclear export activity of the matrix protein counteracts the NLS to maintain the Gag and Gag-Pol polyproteins in the cytoplasm, thereby directing unspliced RNA to the plasma membrane (By similarity) Nucleocapsid protein p7: Virion (Potential).
