Curcumin inhibits HIV-1 by promoting Tat protein degradation
HIV-1 Tat is an intrinsically unfolded protein playing a pivotal role in viral replication by associating with TAR region of viral LTR. Unfolded proteins are degraded by 20S proteasome in an ubiquitin independent manner. Curcumin is known to activate 20S proteasome and promotes the degradation of intrinsically unfolded p53 tumor suppressor protein. Since HIV-1 Tat protein is largerly unfolded, ...
متن کاملHIV-1 Tat vaccines.
The inexorable spreading of the HIV pandemic and the increasing deaths for AIDS in the developing countries underscore the urgency for an effective, safe and inexpensive vaccine against AIDS. Although many attempts have been made, a candidate vaccine of proven efficacy and safety in non-human primate models is not yet available. This is mostly due to HIV envelope (Env) variability and to the di...
متن کاملHIV-1 Tat Recruits HDM2 E3 Ligase To Target IRF-1 for Ubiquitination and Proteasomal Degradation
In addition to its ability to regulate HIV-1 promoter activation, the viral transactivator Tat also functions as a determinant of pathogenesis and disease progression by directly and indirectly modulating the host anti-HIV response, largely through the capacity of Tat to interact with and modulate the activities of multiple host proteins. We previously demonstrated that Tat modulated both viral...
متن کاملHIV-1 Tat: Structure and Function
Most viruses encode functions for regulating genome transcription. Examples include the SV40 T-antigen, the adenovirus E1a protein, and the herpes virus immediate-early proteins. For the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV), Tat functions similarly, though not identically, to those other activators. Over the past decade, we have learned much about Tat, both in structure and in function. The int...
متن کاملLong noncoding RNA NRON contributes to HIV-1 latency by specifically inducing tat protein degradation
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play multiple key regulatory roles in various cellular pathways. However, their functions in HIV-1 latent infection remain largely unknown. Here we show that a lncRNA named NRON, which is highly expressed in resting CD4(+) T lymphocytes, could be involved in HIV-1 latency by specifically inducing Tat protein degradation. Our results suggest that NRON lncRNA potentl...
