Vpx overcomes a SAMHD1-independent block to HIV reverse transcription that is specific to resting CD4 T cells.
Early after entry into monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and resting CD4 T cells, HIV encounters a block, limiting reverse transcription (RT) of the incoming viral RNA genome. In this context, dNTP triphosphohydrolase SAM domain and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) has been identified as a restriction factor, lowering the concentration of dNTP substrates to limit RT. The accessory...
متن کاملDegradation of SAMHD1 by Vpx Is Independent of Uncoating.
UNLABELLED Sterile alpha motif domain and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) restricts human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication in myeloid and resting T cells. Lentiviruses such as HIV-2 and some simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) counteract the restriction by encoding Vpx or Vpr, accessory proteins that are packaged in virions and which, upon entry of the virus into the...
متن کاملVpx mediated degradation of SAMHD1 has only a very limited effect on lentiviral transduction rate in ex vivo cultured HSPCs.
Understanding how to achieve efficient transduction of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), while preserving their long-term ability to self-reproduce, is key for applying lentiviral-based gene engineering methods. SAMHD1 is an HIV-1 restriction factor in myeloid and resting CD4+ T cells that interferes with reverse transcription by decreasing the nucleotide pools or by its RNase ac...

The efficiency of reverse transcription to synthesize viral DNA in infected cells greatly influences replication kinetics of retroviruses. However, viral replication in non-dividing cells such as resting T cells and terminally differentiated macrophages is potently and kinetically restricted by a host antiviral factor designated SAMHD1 (sterile alpha motif and HD-domain containing protein 1). S...
متن کاملCD8(+)-Cell antiviral factor activity is not restricted to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-specific T cells and can block HIV replication after initiation of reverse transcription.
CD8(+) lymphocytes from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients can suppress in vitro HIV replication in CD4(+) T cells by a noncytolytic mechanism involving secreted CD8(+)-cell antiviral factor(s) (CAF). Using an HIV Nef-specific cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte (CTL) line and autologous CD4(+) T cells infected with a nef-deleted HIV-1 virus, we demonstrated that, after a priming antigenic...
