Structure of a Ty1 restriction factor reveals the molecular basis of transposition copy number control
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, unchecked proliferation of Ty1 retrotransposons is controlled by the process of copy number control (CNC), which requires the p22/p18 protein, translated from an internal transcript within the Ty1 GAG gene. Here, the authors present the 2.8 Å crystal structure of a minim...

description |
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, unchecked proliferation of Ty1 retrotransposons is controlled by the process of copy number control (CNC), which requires the p22/p18 protein, translated from an internal transcript within the Ty1 GAG gene. Here, the authors present the 2.8 Å crystal structure of a minimal p18 from Ty1-Gag that is able to restrict Ty1 transposition and identify two dimer interfaces in p18, whose roles were probed by mutagenesis both in vitro and in vivo. As p22/p18 contains only one of two conserved domains required for retroelement Gag assembly, they propose that p22/p18-Gag interactions block the Ty1 virus-like particle assembly pathway, resulting in defective particles incapable of supporting retrotransposition. |
