HIV-1 replication commences inside the cone-shaped viral capsid, but timing, localization, and mechanism of uncoating are under debate. We adapted a strategy to visualize individual reverse-transcribed cDNA molecules their association with cellular proteins using fluorescence correlative-light-and-electron-microscopy (CLEM). specifically detected nuclei, not in cytoplasm. Nuclear initially co-localized fluorescent integrase fusion (IN-FP) CA (capsid) protein, cDNA-punctae separated from IN-FP/CA over time. This phenotype was conserved primary target cells, nuclear complexes exhibiting strong CA-signals all cell types. CLEM revealed capsid-like structures apparently broken capsid-remnants at position IN-FP signals elongated chromatin-like punctae lacking IN-FP. Our data argue for by physical disruption rather than cooperative disassembly CA-lattice, followed separation pre-integration complex.

In order to replicate, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) reverse-transcribes its RNA genome into DNA, which subsequently integrates host cell chromosomes. These two key events of the viral life cycle are commonly viewed as separate not only in time, but also cellular space, since reverse transcription (RT) is thought be completed cytoplasm before nuclear import and integration. However, spatiotemporal organization early replication macrophages, natural non-dividing target cells that constitute reservoirs HIV-1 an obstacle curing AIDS, remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate infected macrophages display large foci DNA (vDNA) RNA, multiple genomes cluster together. clusters form absence chromosomal integration, sequester paraspeckle protein CPSF6, localize speckles. Surprisingly, these consist mostly genomic, incoming both where pharmacologically suppressed untreated cells. We following temporary inhibition, can resume nucleus lead vDNA accumulation clusters. further show result transcription-competent DNA. findings change our understanding may have implications for addressing persistence.

After cell entry, human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication involves reverse transcription of the RNA genome, nuclear import subviral complex without envelope breakdown, and integration viral complementary DNA into host genome. Here, we discuss recent evidence indicating that completion genome uncoating occur in nucleus rather than cytoplasm, as previously thought, suggest a testable model for uncoating. Multiple studies indicated cone-shaped capsid, which encases proteins, not only serves reaction container shield from innate immune sensors but also may constitute elusive HIV-1 factor. Rupture capsid be triggered by transcription, yet-unknown factors, or physical damage, it appears to close temporal spatial association with process.

Nuclear speckles are dynamic membraneless bodies located in the cell nucleus. They harbor RNAs and proteins, many of which splicing factors, that together display complex biophysical properties dictating nuclear speckle formation maintenance. Although these were discovered decades ago, only recently has in-depth genomic analysis begun to unravel their essential functions modulation gene activity. Major advancements mapping techniques combined with microscopy approaches have enabled insights into roles may play enhancing expression, how positioning specific landmarks can regulate expression RNA processing. Some studies drawn a link between disease. Certain maladies either involve directly or dictate localization reorganization factors. This is most striking during viral infection, as viruses alter entire architecture highjack host machinery.

Viruses have evolved precise mechanisms for using the cellular physiological pathways their perpetuation. These virus-driven biochemical events must be separated in space and time from those of host cell. In recent years, granular structures, known over a century rabies virus, were shown to viral gene function named terms such as viroplasms, replication sites, inclusion bodies, or factories (VFs). More recently, these VFs liquid-like, sharing properties with membrane-less organelles driven by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) process widely referred biomolecular condensation. Some best described examples structures come negative stranded RNA viruses, where micrometer size are formed toward end infectious cycle. We here discuss some basic principles LLPS connection several propose view, which integrates biochemistry underlying liquid-like organelles. this protein components gradually accumulate up critical point during infection is triggered. This yields an increase transcription that leads turn increased translation consequent growth initially condensates. According chemical behind separation, concentration increases condensate.

The HIV-1 capsid, composed of approximately 1,200 copies the capsid protein, encases genomic RNA alongside viral nucleocapsid, reverse transcriptase, and integrase proteins. After cell entry, interacts with a myriad host factors to traverse cytoplasm, pass through nuclear pore complex (NPC), then traffic chromosomal sites for DNA integration. Integration may very well require dissolution but where when this uncoating event occurs remains hotly debated. Based on size constraints, long-prevailing view was that preceded transport, recent research has indicated remain largely intact during import, perhaps some structural remodeling required NPC traversal. Completion transcription in nucleus further aid uncoating. One canonical type factor, typified by CPSF6, leverages Phe-Gly (FG) motif bind capsid. Recent shown these peptides reside amid prion-like domains (PrLDs), which are stretches protein sequence devoid charged residues. Intermolecular PrLD interactions along exterior shell impart avid factor binding productive infection. Herein we overview capsid-host implicated ingress discuss important questions moving forward. Highlighting clinical relevance, long-acting ultrapotent inhibitor lenacapavir, engages same pocket as FG factors, recently approved treat people living HIV.

Abstract HIV-1 integration favors nuclear speckle (NS)-proximal chromatin and viral infection induces the formation of capsid-dependent CPSF6 condensates that colocalize with speckles (NSs). Although displays liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) activity in vitro, contributions its different intrinsically disordered regions, which includes a central prion-like domain (PrLD) capsid binding FG motif C-terminal mixed-charge (MCD), to LLPS remain unclear. Herein, we determined PrLD MCD both contribute vitro. Akin mutant CPSF6, cells expressing MCD-deleted uncharacteristically arrested at rim. While heterologous MCDs effectively substituted for function during infection, Arg-Ser domains from related SR proteins were largely ineffective. wildtype displayed similar affinities, imparted LLPS-dependent higher-order co-aggregation capsids vitro cellulo. NS depletion reduced puncta without significantly affecting into NS-proximal chromatin, appending onto protein partially restored virus penetration targeting knockout cells. We conclude MCD-dependent condensation underlies post-nuclear incursion DNA pathogenesis.
