- W2017044687 abstract "The genomes of HIV and SIV are complex and contain several accessory genes which modulate viral replication and pathogenicity. One of these genes, vpx, is unique to the HIV-2/SIV group of viruses and encodes a virion-associated protein of unknown function. To examine the function of vpx, we constructed a vpx-deficient HIV-2 proviral clone and characterized its in vitro biological properties. Following transfection into immortalized T-cell lines, vpx-mutant HIV-2 was fully replication competent and exhibited growth kinetics and cytopathic properties equivalent to wild-type HIV-2. In addition, vpx-deficient virions were indistinguishable from wild-type HIV-2 in ultrastructure, composition of major structural proteins, and reverse transcriptase activity. In PHA-stimulated normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), however, vpx-deficient virus replicated at substantially lower titers and required a 100- to 1000-fold higher inoculum to establish a productive infection. This defect was localized to early events in the viral life cycle since vpx-deficient virus exhibited a 5- to 10-fold reduction in initial (single cycle) viral DNA synthesis following acute infection of primary PBMCs. Paradoxically, in long-term (9-23 months) cultures of immortalized T-cells (SupT1) continuous high level replication of vpx-deficient, but not wild-type, virus was observed, indicating less efficient viral spread and cell killing and a more attenuated phenotype of vpx-deficient HIV-2. Taken together, these results demonstrate that vpx is required for the production of fully infectious and cytopathic HIV-2 virions and that it functions early in the viral life cycle by facilitating viral entry and/or reverse transcription. The pronounced replicative defect of vpx-deficient HIV-2 in primary PBMCs but not in short-term cultures of immortalized T-cell lines emphasizes the need to characterize the properties of nonessential HIV accessory gene products in natural target cells." @default.
