CC -!- FUNCTION: This endogenous retroviral envelope protein has retained its
CC original fusogenic properties and participates in trophoblast fusion
CC and the formation of a syncytium during placenta morphogenesis. The
CC interaction with MFSD2A is apparently important for this process (By
CC similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- FUNCTION: Endogenous envelope proteins may have kept, lost or modified
CC their original function during evolution but this one can still make
CC pseudotypes with MLV, HIV-1 or SIV-1 virions and confer infectivity.
CC Retroviral envelope proteins mediate receptor recognition and membrane
CC fusion during early infection. The surface protein mediates receptor
CC recognition, while the transmembrane protein anchors the envelope
CC heterodimer to the viral membrane through one transmembrane domain. The
CC other hydrophobic domain, called fusion peptide, mediates fusion of the
CC viral membrane with the target cell membrane (PubMed:14694139).
CC {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14694139}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: The surface and transmembrane proteins form a heterodimer.
CC They are attached by non-covalent interactions or by a labile
CC interchain disulfide bond (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Virion {ECO:0000305}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [Transmembrane protein]: Cell membrane
CC {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [Surface protein]: Cell membrane {ECO:0000305};
CC Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Note=The surface protein is
CC not anchored to the membrane, but localizes to the extracellular
CC surface through its binding to TM. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9UQF0}.
CC -!- DOMAIN: The CKS-17 immunosuppressive domain is present in many
CC retroviral envelope proteins. As a synthetic peptide, it inhibits
CC immune function in vitro and in vivo (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- PTM: Specific enzymatic cleavages in vivo yield the mature SU and TM
CC proteins. {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- PTM: The CXXC motif is highly conserved across a broad range of
CC retroviral envelope proteins. It is thought to participate in the
CC formation of a labile disulfide bond possibly with the CX6CC motif
CC present in the transmembrane protein (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Ortholog of the human HERV-FRD_6p24.1 envelope protein.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: The genome contains a high percentage of proviral-like
CC elements, also called endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) that are the
CC genomic traces of ancient infections of the germline by exogenous
CC retroviruses. Although most of these elements are defective, some have
CC conserved a functional envelope (env) gene, most probably diverted by
CC the host for its benefit.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the gamma type-C retroviral envelope protein
CC family. HERV class-I FRD env subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
CC -!- CAUTION: CKS-17 sequence does not match the minimal active consensus.
CC {ECO:0000305}.
