Cell killing by HIV-1 protease.
The human immunodeficiency virus protease (HIV-1 PR) was expressed both in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and in mammalian cells. Inducible expression of HIV-1 PR arrested yeast growth, which was followed by cell lysis. The lytic phenotype included loss of plasma membrane integrity and cell wall breakage leading to the release of cell content to the medium. Given that neither poliovirus 2A ...
متن کاملInfected Cell Killing by HIV-1 Protease Promotes NF-κB Dependent HIV-1 Replication
Acute HIV-1 infection of CD4 T cells often results in apoptotic death of infected cells, yet it is unclear what evolutionary advantage this offers to HIV-1. Given the independent observations that acute T cell HIV-1 infection results in (1) NF-kappaB activation, (2) caspase 8 dependent apoptosis, and that (3) caspase 8 directly activates NF-kappaB, we questioned whether these three events might...
متن کاملHIV-1 protease inhibitors.
Treatment of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection with regimens that include protease inhibitors (PIs) has contributed to marked improvements in HIV-related disease progression and mortality. Five PIs are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and have potent activity in vitro. PIs with 2 nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors have demonstrated prolonged ...
متن کاملComparative Efficiency of HIV-1-Infected T Cell Killing by NK Cells, Monocytes and Neutrophils
HIV-1 infected cells are eliminated in infected individuals by a variety of cellular mechanisms, the best characterized of which are cytotoxic T cell and NK cell-mediated killing. An additional antiviral mechanism is antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Here we use primary CD4(+) T cells infected with the BaL clone of HIV-1 as target cells and autologous NK cells, monocytes, and neutrophil...
متن کاملHIV-1 protease mutations and protease inhibitor cross-resistance.
The effects of many protease inhibitor (PI)-selected mutations on the susceptibility to individual PIs are unknown. We analyzed in vitro susceptibility test results on 2,725 HIV-1 protease isolates. More than 2,400 isolates had been tested for susceptibility to fosamprenavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, and saquinavir; 2,130 isolates had been tested for susceptibility to lopinavir; 1,644 isolates ha...
