CPSF6-Dependent Targeting of Speckle-Associated Domains Distinguishes Primate from Nonprimate Lentiviral Integration.

ABSTRACT: Lentiviral DNA integration favors transcriptionally active chromatin. We previously showed that the interaction of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) capsid with cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 6 (CPSF6) localizes viral preintegration complexes (PICs) to nuclear speckles for integration into transcriptionally active speckle-associated domains (SPADs). In the absence of the capsid-CPSF6 interaction, PICs uncharacteristically accumulate at the nuclear periphery and target heterochromatic lamina-associated domains (LADs) for integration. The integrase-binding protein lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 in contrast to CPSF6 predominantly functions to direct HIV-1 integration to interior regions of transcription units. Though CPSF6 and LEDGF/p75 can report
