项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has transformed HIV into a manageable non-fatal chronic disease. However, significant challenges remain with increasing drug resistance and adverse drug reactions. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify novel therapeutic targets with unique mechanisms of action to sustain the gains of ART. HIV transcription represents a vital part of the viral life cycle that has not been successfully targeted for therapy. We recently discovered that an interaction between the essential viral protein Tat and splicing factor 3B subunit 1 (SF3B1) is required for HIV transcription. The primary goal of this project is to define the role played by the interaction between Tat and SF3B1 in HIV transcription. The long term objective is to identify compounds that can block this interaction and therefore HIV replication. We hypothesize that Tat-mediated HIV transcription requires Tat to interacts with SF3B1 and that this interaction, when blocked will inhibit HIV replication. Our specific aims are: Aim 1: Identify the molecular domains of Tat-SF3B1 interactions required for HIV-1 transcription. We have shown that Tat and SF3B1 interact, and that this interaction requires the C-terminal portion of Tat. However, the specific domains of Tat or SF3B1 required for this interaction are unknown. First, we will use mutagenesis, along with in-vitro and in-vivo protein binding studies to narrow down the residues of Tat and the domain of SF3B1 required for the interaction. Second, we will perform in-vivo alanine scanning to better define the interaction surfaces for the two binding domains. The effect of alanine substitutions will be quantified with the NanoLuc® Binary Technology (NanoBiT) split luciferase complementation protein: protein interaction system. We will also perform Tat-SF3B1 immunoprecipitations and transcription assays in primary CD4+ T cells and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) to ascertain the physiological relevance of our findings. Aim 2: Define the specific role of SF3B1 in Tat-mediated HIV-1 transcription. We showed that depletion of SF3B1 abrogates Tat-mediated HIV transcription, but the exact mechanism for SF3B1 actions on HIV transcription is unknown. SF3B1 interacts with Tat, the nuclear inhibitor of PP1 (NIPP1), and is also known to methylate HIV transcription-activating histone H3K36me3. Therefore, we hypothesize that SF3B1 may control HIV transcription through one or more of these pathways in primary CD4+T cells, MDMs and HIV latency models. First, we will use RNA Immunoprecipitation (RNAIP) and fluorescent electrophoretic mobility shift assay (fEMSA) to quantify the effects of SF3B1 on Tat/TAR interactions. Second, we will determine how SF3B1 influences Tat methylation as well as the occupancy of the HIV promoter by H3K36me3. Finally we will determine if Tat-SF3B1 interactions plays a role in NIPP1-mediated inhibition of HIV transcription. This work will be highly significant to further the understanding of Tat-mediated HIV transcription and define a potential therapeutic target for HIV.

项目摘要抗逆转录病毒疗法（ART）已将HIV转化为可控制的非致命慢性疾病。然而，耐药性和不良药物反应的增加仍然存在重大挑战。因此，有一个迫切需要通过独特的作用机制来确定新的治疗靶标，以维持艺术的成就。 HIV转录代表了病毒生命周期的重要组成部分，尚未成功针对治疗。我们最近发现，必需病毒蛋白TAT与剪接因子3B亚基之间的相互作用 HIV转录需要1（SF3B1）。该项目的主要目标是定义艾滋病毒中Tat和SF3B1之间的相互作用所起的作用转录。长期目标是识别可以阻止这种相互作用的化合物，因此复制。我们假设TAT介导的HIV转录需要TAT与SF3B1相互作用，并且这种相互作用，当被阻塞时将抑制HIV复制。我们的具体目的是：目标1：确定HIV-1转录所需的TAT-SF3B1相互作用的分子结构域。我们已经表明TAT和SF3B1相互作用，并且这种相互作用需要TAT的C末端部分。然而，这种相互作用所需的TAT或SF3B1的特定域是未知的。首先，我们将使用诱变，以及视野内和体内蛋白结合研究，以缩小TAT的残留物和域互动所需的SF3B1。其次，我们将执行体内丙氨酸扫描以更好地定义两个结合域的相互作用表面。丙氨酸取代的影响将通过 Nanoluc®二进制技术（Nanobit）分裂荧光素酶完成蛋白：蛋白质相互作用系统。我们还将在一级CD4+ T细胞中执行TAT-SF3B1免疫沉淀和转录测定单核细胞衍生的巨噬细胞（MDMS）确定我们发现的物理相关性。 AIM 2：定义SF3B1在TAT介导的HIV-1转录中的特定作用。我们证明了耗尽 SF3B1杂货店TAT介导的HIV转录，但SF3B1对HIV的确切机制转录未知。 SF3B1与PP1的核抑制剂TAT相互作用（NIPP1），也已知甲基化HIV转录激活组蛋白H3K36Me3。因此，我们假设SF3B1可以控制通过主要CD4+T细胞，MDM和HIV潜伏期模型中的一个或多个途径的HIV转录。首先，我们将使用RNA免疫沉淀（RNAIP）和荧光电泳迁移率转移测定法（FEMSA）量化SF3B1对TAT/TAR相互作用的影响。其次，我们将确定SF3B1如何影响TAT H3K36me3甲基化以及HIV启动子的占用率。最后，我们将确定tat-sf3b1是否相互作用在NIPP1介导的HIV转录抑制中起作用。这项工作对于进一步了解TAT介导的HIV转录并定义A将非常重要艾滋病毒的潜在治疗靶点。
