Swiss-port # Q14264 Human Endogenous retrovirus group 3 member 1 Env polyprotein |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | ERV3-1 |
| Gene Full Name | endogenous retrovirus group 3, member 1 |
| Background | The human genome includes many retroelements including the human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs). ERV3, one of the most studied HERVs, is thought to have integrated 30 to 40 million years ago and is present in higher primates with the exception of gorillas. Taken together, the observation of genome conservation, the detection of transcript expression, and the presence of conserved ORFs is circumstantial evidence for a functional role. A functional role is also suggested by the observation that downregulation of ERV3 is reported in choriocarcinoma. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Retroviral envelope proteins mediate receptor recognition and membrane fusion during early infection. Endogenous envelope proteins may have kept, lost or modified their original function during evolution. This endogenous envelope protein has lost its fusogenic properties. It can inhibit cell growth through decrease expression of cyclin B1 and increased expression of p21 in vitro. SU mediates receptor recognition. TM anchors the envelope heterodimer to the viral membrane through one transmembrane domain. The other hydrophobic domain, called fusion peptide, mediates fusion of the viral membrane with the target cell membrane (By similarity). [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 68 kDa |
| PTM | Specific enzymatic cleavages in vivo yield the mature SU and TM proteins (By similarity). Has been mainly detected in vivo as an 65 kDa unprocessed polyprotein precursor. The CXXC motif is highly conserved across a broad range of retroviral envelope proteins. It is thought to participate in the formation of a labile disulfide bond possibly with the CX6CC motif present in the transmembrane protein. Isomerization of the intersubunit disulfide bond to an SU intrachain disulfide bond is thought to occur upon receptor recognition in order to allow membrane fusion (By similarity). [UniProt] |
