HIV Protease

HIV protease, a homodimeric aspartyl protease, is crucial for the viral life-cycle, cleaving proviral polyproteins, hence creating mature protein components that are required for the formation of an infectious virus. HIV protease cleaves newly synthesized polyproteins at the appropriate places to create the mature protein components of an infectious HIV virion. HIV protease is a critical drug target in designing anti-retroviral drugs to treat HIV/AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).

HIV-1 protease permits viral maturation by processing the Gag and Gag-Pro-Pol polyproteins. It recognizes and cleaves more than 12 different substrates leading to viral maturation. Similar to that of HIV-1, HIV-2 protease is also a homodimeric aspartyl enzyme that plays a vital role in the HIV life-cycle through processing of Gag and Gag-Pro-Pol precursor polyproteins leading to viral maturation.

    ddCTP trilithium
    Inhibitor
    ddCTP trilithium is a type of chain-terminating deoxynucleotide. ddCTP trilithium can be incorporated into the extension primer chain that lacks the 3'-hydroxyl group, thereby terminating primer extension, viral genome replication, and DNA synthesis. ddCTP trilithium can distinguish almost identical RNA through distinguishable extension products in primer extension inhibition experiments. ddCTP trilithium is the active metabolite of Zalcitabine (HY-17392), which can competitively inhibit HIV reverse transcriptase, terminate the synthesis of viral DNA chains, and thereby inhibit HIV replication.

    EP39
    Inhibitor
    EP39 is a potent HIV-1 maturation inhibitor. EP39 interacts with the SP1 domain of Gag. EP39 decreases the dynamics of CA-SP1 junction, by binding to the QVT motif of the SP1 domain, and perturbs the natural coil-helix equilibrium on both sides of the SP1 domain by stabilizing the transient alpha helical structure. EP39 acts by arresting maturation of HIV-1 thereby blocking its infectivity.
