ISG15 deficiency restricts HIV-1 infection.

ABSTRACT: Type I interferons (IFN-Is) are a group of potent inflammatory and antiviral cytokines. They induce IFN stimulated genes (ISGs), which act as proinflammatory mediators, antiviral effectors, and negative regulators of the IFN-I signaling cascade itself. One such regulator is interferon stimulated gene 15 (ISG15). Humans with complete ISG15 deficiency express persistently elevated levels of ISGs, and consequently, exhibit broad spectrum resistance to viral infection. Here, we demonstrate that IFN-I primed fibroblasts derived from ISG15-deficient individuals are more resistant to infection with single-cycle HIV-1 compared to healthy control fibroblasts. Complementation with both wild-type (WT) ISG15 and ISG15ΔGG (incapable of ISGylation while retaining negative regulation activity) was sufficient to reverse this phenotype, restoring susceptibility to infection to levels comparable to WT cells. Furthermore, CRISPR-edited ISG15ko primary CD4+ T cells were less susceptible to HIV-1 infection compared to cells treated with non-targeting controls. Transcriptome analysis of these CRISPR-edited ISG15ko primary CD4+ T cells recapitulated the ISG signatures of ISG15 deficient patients. Taken together, we document that the increased broad-spectrum viral resistance in ISG15-deficiency also extends to HIV-1 and is driven by a combination of T-cell-specific ISGs, with both known and unknown functions, predicted to target HIV-1 replication at multiple steps.

Project description:Although HIV-1 can directly infect resting CD4+ T cells, virus replication in resting CD4+T cells is very inefficient owing to the different host restriction factors blocking viral replication. The accessory protein Vpx from the major simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) of rhesus macaque (mac) and HIV-2 lineage could degrade a host restriction factor, SAM and HD domain containing protein 1 (SAMHD1), to facilitate HIV reverse transcription. Interestingly, Vpx proteins from a second SIV lineage, the SIV of redcapped mangabeys or mandrills (SIVrcm/nmd-2), had no effect on SAMHD1 and did not affect the dNTP pool, but strongly increased HIV-1 infection in resting CD4+ T cells although not in primary macrophages. This indicates that Vpx, in addition to SAMHD1,can overcome a previously unexplored restriction factor for lentiviruses. Here to identify this potential restriction factor, we examined Vpxrcm-interacting cellular proteins and found that keratin 72 (KRT72), an intermediate filament protein that is exclusively expressed in resting CD4+ T cells, is a new host antiviral factor targeted by Vpx. Other than Vpx from SIV mac and HIV-2, the Vpxrcm/nmd-2 lineage, which had no effect on the SAMHD1 protein, could strongly promote the degradation of KRT72, resulting in enhanced HIV-1 infection in resting CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, we discovered that KRT72 restricts HIV-1 replication by sequestering incoming HIV-1 capsids in cytoplasmic intermediate filaments (IFs). In the presence of KRT72, HIV-1 capsid cores become attached to the IF and their trafficking toward the nucleus is inhibited. In contrast, in the absence of KRT72, HIV-1 capsids are transported into the nucleus,leading to high levels of integrated HIV-1 DNA. In addition, KRT72 expression was substantially higher in resting CD4+ T cells than in activated CD4+ T cells, and it was rapidly reduced by T cell activation. Collectively, the results show that KRT72 is a new Vpx-counteracted host antiviral factor that acts to tether incoming capsids to the cytoplasmic IF, thereby restricting HIV-1 infection in resting CD4+ T cells.
