To overcome challenges in study native capsid structure, we used the perfringolysin O to perforate the membrane of HIV-1 particles, thus allowing host proteins and small molecules to access the native capsid while improving cryo–electron microscopy image quality. Using cryo–electron tomography and subtomogram averaging, we determined the structures of native capsomers in the presence and absence of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) and cyclophilin A and constructed an all-atom model of a complete HIV-1 capsid. Our structures reveal two IP6 binding sites and modes of cyclophilin A interactions. Free energy calculations substantiate the two binding sites at R18 and K25 and further show a prohibitive energy barrier for IP6 to pass through the pentamer. Our results demonstrate that perfringolysin O perforation is a valuable tool for structural analyses of enveloped virus capsids and interactions with host cell factors. |
