text: The small cellular molecule inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) has been known
for ~20 years to promote the in vitro assembly of HIV-1 into immature virus-like
particles. However, the molecular details underlying this effect have been determined
only recently, with the identification of the IP6 binding site in the immature
Gag lattice. IP6 also promotes formation of the mature capsid protein (CA) lattice
via a second IP6 binding site, and enhances core stability, creating a favorable
environment for reverse transcription. IP6 also enhances assembly of other retroviruses,
from both the Lentivirus and the Alpharetrovirus genera. These findings suggest
that IP6 may have a conserved function throughout the family Retroviridae. Here,
we discuss the different steps in the viral life cycle that are influenced by
IP6, and describe in detail how IP6 interacts with the immature and mature lattices
of different retroviruses.
