    Abstract Reverse transcriptase (RT) is a multifunctional enzyme that has RNA- and DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity and ribonuclease H (RNase H) activity, and is responsible for the reverse transcription of retroviral single-stranded RNA into double-stranded DNA. The essential role that RT plays in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) life cycle is highlighted by the fact that multiple antiviral drugs-which can be classified into two distinct therapeutic classes-are routinely used to treat and/or prevent HIV infection. This book chapter provides detailed insights into the three-dimensional structure of HIV RT, the biochemical mechanisms of DNA polymerization and RNase H activity, and the mechanisms by which nucleoside/nucleotide and nonnucleoside RT inhibitors block reverse transcription.

    Abstract The "block and lock" strategy is one approach that might elicit a sterilizing cure for HIV-1 infection. The "block" refers to a compound's ability to inhibit latent HIV-1 proviral transcription, while the "lock" refers to its capacity to induce permanent proviral silencing. We previously identified PF-3758309, a pan-isoform inhibitor of p21-activated kinases (PAKs), as a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 latency reversal. The goal of this study was to define the mechanism(s) involved. We found that both 24ST1NLESG cells (a cell line model of HIV-1 latency) and purified CD4+ naïve and central memory T cells express high levels of PAK2 and lower levels of PAK1 and PAK4. Knockdown of PAK1 or PAK2, but not PAK4, in 24ST1NLESG cells resulted in a modest, but statistically significant, decrease in the magnitude of HIV-1 latency reversal. Overexpression of PAK1 significantly increased the magnitude of latency reversal. A phospho-protein array analysis revealed that PF-3758309 down-regulates the NF-κB signaling pathway, which provides the most likely mechanism by which PF-3758309 inhibits latency reversal. Finally, we used cellular thermal shift assays combined with liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to ascertain whether PF-3758309 off-target binding contributed to its activity. In 24ST1NLESG cells and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, PF-3758309 bound to mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 and protein kinase A; however, knockdown of either of these kinases did not impact HIV-1 latency reversal. Collectively, our study suggests that PAK1 and PAK2 play a key role in the maintenance of HIV-1 latency.

    Abstract Reverse transcription of the retroviral single-stranded RNA into double-stranded DNA is an integral step during HIV-1 replication, and reverse transcriptase (RT) is a primary target for antiviral therapy. Despite a wealth of structural information on RT, we lack critical insight into the intermediate kinetic states of DNA synthesis. Using catalytically active substrates, and a novel blot/diffusion cryo-electron microscopy approach, we captured 11 structures that define the substrate binding, reactant, transition and product states of dATP addition by RT at 1.9 to 2.4 Å resolution in the active site. Initial dATP binding to RT-template/primer complex involves a single Mg

    Abstract All retroviruses encode the enzyme, reverse transcriptase (RT), which is involved in the conversion of the single-stranded viral RNA genome into double-stranded DNA. RT is a multifunctional enzyme and exhibits DNA polymerase and ribonuclease H (RNH) activities, both of which are essential to the reverse-transcription process. Despite the successful development of polymerase-targeting antiviral drugs over the last three decades, no bona fide inhibitor against the RNH activity of HIV-1 RT has progressed to clinical evaluation. In this review article, we describe the retroviral RNH function and inhibition, with primary consideration of the structural aspects of inhibition.

    Abstract While combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) can drive HIV-1 RNA levels to < 50 copies/mL in patient plasma, most infected individuals continue to harbor low-level persistent viremia. Latently infected resting CD4+ T cells are thought to constitute the major reservoir of HIV-1 persistence. In this reservoir, the integrated provirus remains transcriptionally silent as long as the host cell is in a resting state. On discontinuation of cART, these viruses can reactivate and lead to waves of de novo infection events. The prevailing hypothesis in the field is that molecules that reactivate latent HIV-1 infection will purge this reservoir by inducing transcription of the latent provirus, thereby causing cells to undergo apoptosis. This review article summarizes the results of all therapeutic approaches that have been clinically evaluated for their potential to reverse HIV latency.

    Abstract The viral capsid performs critical functions during HIV-1 infection and is a validated target for antiviral therapy. Previous studies have established that the proper structure and stability of the capsid are required for efficient HIV-1 reverse transcription in target cells. Moreover, it has recently been demonstrated that permeabilized virions and purified HIV-1 cores undergo efficient reverse transcription in vitro when the capsid is stabilized by addition of the host cell metabolite inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6). However, the molecular mechanism by which the capsid promotes reverse transcription is undefined. Here we show that wild type HIV-1 particles can undergo efficient reverse transcription
