CC -!- FUNCTION: The products of the Gag polyproteins of infectious
CC retroviruses perform highly complex orchestrated tasks during the
CC assembly, budding, maturation, and infection stages of the viral
CC replication cycle. During viral assembly, the proteins form membrane
CC associations and self-associations that ultimately result in budding of
CC an immature virion from the infected cell. Gag precursors also function
CC during viral assembly to selectively bind and package two plus strands
CC of genomic RNA. Endogenous Gag proteins may have kept, lost or modified
CC their original function during evolution.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor. Note=Cytoplasmic
CC membrane (in a transfection system). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: HERV-K Gag polyprotein contains regions homologous to the
CC matrix (MA), capsid (CA) and nucleocapsid (NC) proteins from infectious
CC retroviruses. Evidence suggests that HERV-K(HML-2) Gag polyprotein can
CC be cleaved into mature MA, CA and NC under certain circumstances.
CC However, the exact boundaries as well as the size of processed Gag
CC proteins have not been precisely determined yet.
CC -!- PTM: Myristoylation is essential for retroviral assembly. Alteration of
CC the glycine residue leads to a block in the budding of particles and an
CC accumulation of Gag inside the cell (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- PTM: Specific enzymatic cleavages may yield mature proteins.
CC {ECO:0000305}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Insertional polymorphism. Provirus present in 16% of
CC tested individuals.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Intragenic, in first intron of DEFB107 gene.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the beta type-B retroviral Gag protein family.
CC HERV class-II K(HML-2) gag subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
CC -!- SEQUENCE CAUTION:
CC Sequence=AY037929; Type=Frameshift; Note=The frameshift is followed by a premature stop codon.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
