• W3147290064 abstract "Ubiquitination plays an important role in human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) infection. HIV proteins such as Vif and Vpx mediate the degradation of the host proteins APOBEC3 and SAMHD1, respectively, through the proteasome pathway. However, whether deubiquitylating enzymes play an essential role in HIV-1 infection is largely unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the deubiquitinase USP21 potently inhibits HIV-1 production by indirectly downregulating the expression of HIV-1 transactivator of transcription (Tat), which is essential for transcriptional elongation in HIV-1. USP21 deubiquitylates Tat via its deubiquitinase activity, but a stronger ability to reduce Tat expression than a dominant-negative ubiquitin mutant (Ub-KO) showed that other mechanisms may contribute to USP21-mediated inhibition of Tat. Further investigation showed that USP21 downregulates cyclin T1 mRNA levels by increasing methylation of histone K9 in the promoter of cyclin T1, a subunit of the positive transcription elongation factor b (P-TEFb) that interacts with Tat and transactivation response element (TAR) and is required for transcription stimulation and Tat stability. Moreover, USP21 had no effect on the function of other HIV-1 accessory proteins, including Vif, Vpr, Vpx, and Vpu, indicating that USP21 was specific to Tat. These findings improve our understanding of USP21-mediated functional suppression of HIV-1 production. IMPORTANCE Ubiquitination plays an essential role in viral infection. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) reverse ubiquitination by cleaving ubiquitins from target proteins, thereby affecting viral infection. The role of the members of the USP family, which comprises the largest subfamily of DUBs, is largely unknown in HIV-1 infection. Here, we screened a series of USP members and found that USP21 inhibits HIV-1 production by specifically targeting Tat but not the other HIV-1 accessory proteins. Further investigations revealed that USP21 reduces Tat expression in two ways. First, USP21 deubiquitinates polyubiquitinated Tat, causing Tat instability, and second, USP21 reduces the mRNA levels of cyclin T1 (CycT1), an important component of P-TEFb, that leads to Tat downregulation. Thus, in this study, we report a novel role of the deubiquitinase, USP21, in HIV-1 infection. USP21 represents a potentially useful target for the development of novel anti-HIV drugs." @default.
