Transportin-1 (TRN-1) orchestrates HIV-1 uncoating and nuclear import

ABSTRACT: Timely uncoating and nuclear import are key to efficient HIV infection, however the triggers and mechanisms that orchestrate these steps are unknown. Here we show that HIV-1 exploits Transportin-1/TRN-1 for both uncoating and nuclear import. Depletion of TRN-1, which we characterised by mass spectrometry, significantly reduced the early steps of HIV-1 infection in cell lines and primary CD4+ T cells. We showed that TRN-1 binds to incoming HIV-1 capsid (CA) cores, but not monomeric CA or integrase, via a NLS present on the cyclophilin A (CypA) binding loop. The G89V mutant, but not P90A, relieved dependency on TRN-1, and TRN-1 binding to CA at position G89 displaced CypA, which likely contributes to weakening the CA assembly. Recombinant TRN-1 could induce CA uncoating in vitro indicating that disruption is entirely mechanical, and activity mapped to residue W730 that plays a pivotal role in binding to substrate NLS. HIV-1 intercepts TRN-1 near the nuclear envelope and complexes that fail to do so scatter back into the cytoplasm without uncoating. For complexes that uncoat, TRN-1 mediates the concomitant nuclear import of CA and viral DNA. Our study reveals how HIV-1 uses a single cellular protein to orchestrate the key steps that allow it to reach its replication compartment efficiently.

The initial steps of HIV replication in host cells prime the virus for passage through the nuclear pore and drive the establishment of a productive and irreparable infection1,2. The timely release of the viral genome from the capsid-referred to as uncoating-is emerging as a critical parameter for nuclear import, but the triggers and mechanisms that orchestrate these steps are unknown. Here, we identify β-karyopherin Transportin-1 (TRN-1) as a cellular co-factor o ...[more]

Project description:The CMVpp65 protein contains 2 bipartite nuclear localization signals (NLS) at 415-438aa and 537-561aa near the carboxy terminus of CMVpp65 and a phosphate binding site related to kinase activity at lysine-436. A mutation of pp65 having K436N (CMVpp65mII) and further deletion of aa537-561 resulted in a novel protein (pp65mIINLSKO) that is kinase-less and has markedly reduced nuclear localization. The purpose of this report was to study the biologic characterization of this protein and its immunogenicity compared to native pp65.Using RNA microarray analysis, expression of the CMVpp65mIINLSKO had less effect on cell cycle pathways than did the native CMVpp65 and a greater effect on cell surface signalling pathways involving immune activity. It is concluded that the removal of the primary NLS motif from pp65 does not impair its immunogenicity and may actually be advantageous in the design of a vaccine. Keywords: comparison of cellular response to wild-type gene expression vs a mutated gene. The MRC-5 cells were transduced in triplicate, with rAAVintA, rAAVpp65N, rAAVpp65NLSKO for 48hrs and the total RNA was purified with RNeasy kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. One µg of each sample was processed using the Affymetrix GeneChip Whole Transcript Sense Target Labeling Assay. After ribosomal RNA reduction (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) to remove most of the 18S and 28S rRNAs, the GeneChip WT (whole transcript) cDNA Synthesis Kit, WT cDNA Amplification Kit, and WT Terminal Labeling Kit (Affymetrix, Inc., Santa Clara, CA) were used for target preparation. Ten µg of cRNA (antisense RNA) were added to the second-cycle cDNA reaction followed by fragmentation and Terminal Labeling process. The hybridization cocktails containing 2.5 ug of the fragmented, end-labeled cDNA were applied to the GeneChip® Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays. The Genechip® Human Gene 1.0 ST array was chosen because it offers the whole transcript coverage consisting of 28,869 genes on the array by approximately 26 probes spread across the full length of the gene.
