Chaperone-like activity of HIV-1 protease. (A) Aggregation assay with chemically denatured rhodanese: Rhodanese in the absence of HIV-1 protease (▴); a 2.5-fold (▪) or fivefold (♦) molar excess of HPR-M, a 2.5-fold (Inline graphic) or fivefold (Inline graphic) molar excess of HPR-DS; a fivefold molar excess of BSA (▵). (B) Effect of HIV-1 protease inhibitor: Rhodanese in the absence (▴) or presence of a fivefold molar (•) excess of HPR-WT; a fivefold molar excess of HPR-WT inhibited with HIV-1 protease inhibitor (○). (B) (Bottom) SDS-PAGE analysis of the assay solutions to exclude remnant proteolytic activity of HPR-WT.
