MLV glycoGag not only enhances MLV replication but also increases HIV-1 infectivity similarly as Nef. Recent studies have discovered that both glycoGag and Nef antagonize a novel host restriction factor Ser5 and promote viral replication. Compared to Nef, the glycoGag antagonism of Ser5 is still poorly understood. MLV glycoGag is a transmembrane version of the structural Gag protein with an extra 88-amino-acid leader region that determines its activity. We now show that glycoGag interacts with Ser5 in live cells and internalizes Ser5 via receptor-mediated endocytosis. Ser5 is polyubiquitinated and relocalized to endosomes and lysosomes for massive destruction. In addition to the previously identified tyrosine-based sorting signal, we find two more important residues for Ser5 relocalization and downregulation. We also find that the Ser5 sensitivity to glycoGag is conserved in the SERINC family. Together, our findings highlight the important role of endosome/lysosome pathway in the enhancement of viral replication by viral proteins.
