Expression of human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) is associated with germ-cell neoplasia. HERV-K encodes a protein of the Rev/Rex family, cORF, that supports cellular transformation and binds the promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) protein implicated in spermatogenesis. Rev/Rex function invariably depends on multimerization. Here we show that cORF likewise self-associates to form higher-order oligomers. Amino acids (aa) 47-87 in cORF are sufficient, aa 75-87 essential for self-association. Consistently, this domain is predicted to form a hydrophobic alpha-helix that may represent an oligomerization interface. The existence of a dimerization-competent cORF mutant lacking PLZF-binding activity (cORF47-87) suggests a way of dominant negative inhibition of the proposed tumor susceptibility factor cORF.

D017433 Protein Structure, Secondary The level of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to ALPHA-HELICES; BETA-STRANDS (which align to form BETA-SHEETS), or other types of coils.

D017434 Protein Structure, Tertiary The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure.
