The N-terminal portion of the HIV-1 Gag polyprotein encodes the myristoylated matrix (MA) protein, which functions in the trafficking of the structural proteins to the plasma membrane (PM) and facilitation of envelope incorporation into budding virus. Numerous host cell proteins interact with the MA portion of the Gag polyprotein during this process. One such factor is the ubiquitous calcium-binding protein calmodulin (CaM), which interacts preferentially with myristoylated proteins, thereby regulating cell physiology. The exact role of this interaction is poorly understood to date. Atomic resolution structures revealed the nature of the CaM-MA interaction for clade B isolates. In this study, we expanded our knowledge and characterized biophysically and computationally the CaM interaction with MA from other HIV-1 clades and discovered differences in the CaM recognition as compared to the prototypical clade B MA, with significant alterations in the interaction with the MA protein from clade C. Structural investigation and in silico mutational analysis revealed that HIV-1 MA protein from clade C, which is responsible for the majority of global HIV-1 infections, interacts with lower affinity and altered kinetics as compared to the canonical clade B. This finding may have implications for additional altered interaction networks as compared to the well-studied clade B. Our analysis highlights the importance of expanding investigations of virus-host cell factor interaction networks to other HIV-1 clades.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom11091294","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]],"date-time":"2021-08-31T08:42:32Z","timestamp":1630399352000},"page":"1294","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Subtype Differences in the Interaction of HIV-1 Matrix with Calmodulin: Implications for Biological Functions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0580-1897","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexej","family":"Dick","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Drexel University College of Medicine, Rooms 10307, 10309, and 10315, 245 North 15th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9074-741X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simon","family":"Cocklin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Drexel University College of Medicine, Rooms 10307, 10309, and 10315, 245 North 15th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19102, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"a006841","DOI":"10.1101\/cshperspect.a006841","article-title":"Origins of HIV and the AIDS pandemic","volume":"1","author":"Sharp","year":"2011","journal-title":"Cold Spring Harb.
