- W4322001955 abstract "Abstract The retroviral Gag protein of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) plays a central role in the selection of unspliced viral genomic RNA for packaging into new virions. Previously, we demonstrated that full-length HIV-1 Gag undergoes nuclear trafficking where it associates with unspliced viral RNA (vRNA) at transcription sites. To further explore the kinetics of HIV-1 Gag nuclear localization, we used biochemical and imaging techniques to examine the timing of HIV-1 entry into the nucleus. We also aimed to determine more precisely Gag’s subnuclear distribution to test the hypothesis that Gag would be associated with euchromatin, the transcriptionally active region of the nucleus. We observed that HIV-1 Gag localized to the nucleus shortly after its synthesis in the cytoplasm, suggesting that nuclear trafficking was not strictly concentration-dependent. Furthermore, we found that HIV-1 Gag preferentially localized to the transcriptionally active euchromatin fraction compared to the heterochromatin-rich region in a latently-infected CD4+ T cell line (J-Lat 10.6) treated with latency-reversal agents. Interestingly, HIV-1 Gag was more closely associated with transcriptionally-active histone markers near the nuclear periphery, where the HIV-1 provirus was previously shown to integrate. Although the precise function of Gag’s association with histones in transcriptionally-active chromatin remains uncertain, together with previous reports, this finding is consistent with a potential role for euchromatin-associated Gag molecules to select newly transcribed unspliced vRNA during the initial stage of virion assembly. Importance The traditional view of retroviral assembly posits that HIV-1 Gag selection of unspliced vRNA begins in the cytoplasm. However, our previous studies demonstrated that HIV-1 Gag enters the nucleus and binds to unspliced HIV-1 RNA at transcription sites, suggesting that genomic RNA selection may occur in the nucleus. In the present study, we observed nuclear entry of HIV-1 Gag and co-localization with unspliced viral RNA within 8 hours post-expression. In CD4+ T cells (J-Lat 10.6) treated with latency reversal agents, as well as a HeLa cell line stably expressing an inducible Rev-dependent provirus, we found that HIV-1 Gag preferentially localized with histone marks associated with enhancer and promoter regions of transcriptionally active euchromatin near the nuclear periphery, which favors HIV-1 proviral integration sites. These observations support the hypothesis that HIV-1 Gag hijacks euchromatin-associated histones to localize to active transcription sites, promoting capture of newly synthesized genomic RNA for packaging." @default.
