Abstract
En 中文
The early stages of HIV-1 infection include the trafficking of the viral core into the nucleus of infected cells. However, much remains to be understood about how HIV-1 accomplishes nuclear import and the consequences of the import pathways utilized on nuclear events. The host factor cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 6 (CPSF6) assists HIV-1 nuclear localization and post-entry integration targeting. Here, we used a CPSF6 truncation mutant lacking a functional nuclear localization signal (NLS), CPSF6-358, and appended heterologous NLSs to rescue nuclear localization. We show that some, but not all, NLSs drive CPSF6-358 into the nucleus. Interestingly, we found that some nuclear localized CPSF6-NLS chimeras supported inefficient HIV-1 infection. We found that HIV-1 still enters the nucleus in these cell lines but fails to traffic to speckle-associated domains (SPADs). Additionally, we show that HIV-1 fails to efficiently integrate in these cell lines. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the NLS of CPSF6 facilitates steps of HIV-1 infection subsequent to nuclear import and additionally identify the ability of canonical NLS sequences to influence cargo localization in the nucleus following nuclear import.
