The crystal structure of an intact molecule of HIV-1 capsid protein (p24) in complex with a monoclonal antibody fragment recognizing an epitope on the C-terminal domain has been determined at 3 A resolution. The helical N- and C-terminal domains of p24 are linked by an extended peptide forming a flexibly linked dumb-bell-shaped molecule 75 A in overall length. The p24 construct used is a variant with an N-terminal extension that mimics to some extent the Gag context of p24. We observed a novel head-to-tail dimer of p24 molecules which occurs through the formation of a substantial intermolecular interface between the N- and C-terminal domains. Comparison with previously observed p24 dimers shows that the same residues and secondary structural elements can partake in different interfaces revealing a remarkable stickiness and plasticity of the p24 molecule, properties which, combined with the inter-domain flexibility, are presumably important in the assembly and maturation of viral particles. Previous mutagenesis studies designed to test specific N-N and C-C homodimer interfaces do not discriminate fully against the possibility of the observed N-C interface.
