GAP31 (gelonium anti-HIV protein of 31 kDa) is an anti-HIV protein which we have identified and purified from a medicinal plant, Gelonium multiflorum. It is capable of inhibiting HIV-1 infection and replication. GAP31 also exhibits DNA topoisomerase inhibitor activity and RNA N-glycosidase activity. The ability of GAP31 to interrupt both DNA and RNA functions may be related to its multiple antiviral actions. To define the roles of these activities in the anti-HIV action of GAP31, a series of peptides corresponding to the N-terminal segment of GAP31 were synthesized and assayed for the aforementioned activities of the parent molecule. A 33-aa segment (KGATYITYVNFLNELRVKTKPEGNSHGIPSLRK) designated as K10-K42 is the shortest peptide necessary and sufficient for HIV-1 inhibition, DNA and RNA binding, and ribosome inactivation. The peptides were 2-5 orders of magnitude less active than GAP31. Truncation of 19 aa from the C terminus of K10-K42 resulted in the loss of all of these activities. On the other hand, deletion of N-terminal residues to give E23-K42 did not alter ribosome-inactivation activity but eliminated the other activities. These findings permit identification of a 7-aa sequence, KGATYIT, at the N terminus of K10-K42 that is critical for DNA binding and RNA binding, whereas a 9-aa sequence, SHGIPSLRK, at the C terminus is important to ribosome inactivation. Both regions contribute to anti-HIV activity. Histidine at position 35 is critical for all of these activities. The disparity of sequence requirements for inhibition of HIV infection and replication and for ribosome-inactivation activity suggests that the anti-HIV activity of most ribosome-inactivating proteins may not be the result of N-glycosidase activity alone. Mapping the minimal domain of GAP31 offers insights into the rational design of molecular mimetics of anti-HIV drugs.
