    Abstract HIV-1 cores, which contain the viral genome and replication machinery, must disassemble (uncoat) during viral replication. However, the viral and host factors that trigger uncoating remain unidentified. Recent studies show that infectious cores enter the nucleus and uncoat near the site of integration. Here, we show that efficient uncoating of nuclear cores requires synthesis of a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome >3.5 kb and that the efficiency of uncoating correlates with genome size. Core disruption by capsid inhibitors releases viral DNA, some of which integrates. However, most of the viral DNA is degraded, indicating that the intact core safeguards viral DNA. Atomic force microscopy and core content estimation reveal that synthesis of full-length genomic dsDNA induces substantial internal strain on the core to promote uncoating. We conclude that HIV-1 cores protect viral DNA from degradation by host factors and that synthesis of long double-stranded reverse transcription products is required to trigger efficient HIV-1 uncoating.

    Abstract Gene therapy strategies that effectively inhibit HIV-1 replication are needed to reduce the requirement for lifelong antiviral therapy and potentially achieve a functional cure. We previously designed self-activating lentiviral vectors that efficiently delivered and expressed a Vif-resistant mutant of APOBEC3G (A3G-D128K) to T cells, which potently inhibited HIV-1 replication and spread with no detectable virus. Here, we developed vectors that express A3G-D128K, membrane-associated fusion inhibitor peptide mC46, and O

    Abstract Mammals have developed clever adaptive and innate immune defense mechanisms to protect against invading bacterial and viral pathogens. Human innate immunity is continuously evolving to expand the repertoire of restriction factors and one such family of intrinsic restriction factors is the APOBEC3 (A3) family of cytidine deaminases. The coordinated expression of seven members of the A3 family of cytidine deaminases provides intrinsic immunity against numerous foreign infectious agents and protects the host from exogenous retroviruses and endogenous retroelements. Four members of the A3 proteins-A3G, A3F, A3H, and A3D-restrict HIV-1 in the absence of virion infectivity factor (Vif); their incorporation into progeny virions is a prerequisite for cytidine deaminase-dependent and -independent activities that inhibit viral replication in the host target cell. HIV-1 encodes Vif, an accessory protein that antagonizes A3 proteins by targeting them for polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation in the virus producing cells. In this review, we summarize our current understanding of the role of human A3 proteins as barriers against HIV-1 infection, how Vif overcomes their antiviral activity, and highlight recent structural and functional insights into A3-mediated restriction of lentiviruses.

    Abstract We recently reported that HIV-1 cores that retained >94% of their capsid (CA) protein entered the nucleus and disassembled (uncoated) near their integration site <1.5 h before integration. However, whether the nuclear capsids lost their integrity by rupturing or a small loss of CA before capsid disassembly was unclear. Here, we utilized a previously reported vector in which green fluorescent protein is inserted in HIV-1 Gag (iGFP); proteolytic processing efficiently releases GFP, some of which remains trapped inside capsids and serves as a fluid phase content marker that is released when the capsids lose their integrity. We found that nuclear capsids retained their integrity until shortly before integration and lost their GFP content marker ∼1 to 3 min before loss of capsid-associated mRuby-tagged cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 6 (mRuby-CPSF6). In contrast, loss of GFP fused to CA and mRuby-CPSF6 occurred simultaneously, indicating that viral cores retain their integrity until just minutes before uncoating. Our results indicate that HIV-1 evolved to retain its capsid integrity and maintain a separation between macromolecules in the viral core and the nuclear environment until uncoating occurs just before integration. These observations imply that intact HIV-1 capsids are imported through nuclear pores; that reverse transcription occurs in an intact capsid; and that interactions between the preintegration complex and LEDGF/p75, and possibly other host factors that facilitate integration, must occur during the short time period between loss of capsid integrity and integration.

    Abstract HIV-1 must package its RNA genome to generate infectious viruses. Recent studies have revealed that during genome packaging, HIV-1 not only excludes cellular mRNAs, but also distinguishes among full-length viral RNAs. Using NL4-3 and MAL molecular clones, multiple transcription start sites (TSS) were identified, which generate full-length RNAs that differ by only a few nucleotides at the 5' end. However, HIV-1 selectively packages RNAs containing one guanosine (1G RNA) over RNAs with three guanosines (3G RNA) at the 5' end. Thus, the 5' context of HIV-1 full-length RNA can affect its function. To determine whether the regulation of genome packaging by TSS usage is unique to NL4-3 and MAL, we examined 15 primate lentiviruses including transmitted founder viruses of HIV-1, HIV-2, and several simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs). We found that all 15 viruses used multiple TSS to some extent. However, the level of TSS heterogeneity in infected cells varied greatly, even among closely related viruses belonging to the same subtype. Most viruses also exhibited selective packaging of specific full-length viral RNA species into particles. These findings demonstrate that TSS heterogeneity and selective packaging of certain full-length viral RNA species are conserved features of primate lentiviruses. In addition, an SIV strain closely related to the progenitor virus that gave rise to HIV-1 group M, the pandemic pathogen, exhibited TSS usage similar to some HIV-1 strains and preferentially packaged 1G RNA. These findings indicate that multiple TSS usage and selective packaging of a particular unspliced RNA species predate the emergence of HIV-1.
