| Abstract | In polarized epithelial cells, the release of enveloped viruses by budding at the cell surface is restricted to a specific cell membrane domain, either the apical or basolateral domain. To investigate the role of the envelope glycoprotein and the capsid proteins of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in determining the site of virus assembly, we analyzed virus maturation in a polarized monkey kidney cell line. A line of cells harboring the HIV-1 provirus (VERO-pFN) was found to differentiate into polarized epithelial cell monolayers upon reaching confluency. By electron microscopy, virus maturation was observed predominantly at the basolateral membranes of VERO-pFN cells. Analysis of HIV-1 proteins revealed that virtually all of glycoprotein gp120 and capsid protein p24 were found in the basolateral medium, while no HIV-1 proteins were detected apically. A recombinant vaccinia virus (VV) expressing the HIV-1 gag polyprotein (VVgag) was used to determine the site of release of HIV-1 core particles in polarized epithelial cells in the presence or absence of envelope glycoproteins. When cells were infected with VVgag in the absence of envelope proteins, similar amounts of the p24 capsid protein were released into virus particles at the apical or basolateral surface. In contrast, when cells were doubly infected with VVgag and a recombinant VV expressing the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein (VVenv), 94% of p24 and all of gp120 were found to be associated with particles released into the basolateral medium. These results indicate that the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein directly influences the site of release of virus particles containing the gag protein, probably via a specific interaction between the envelope protein and the gag protein. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
