Mutations affecting interaction of integrase with TNPO3 do not prevent HIV-1 cDNA nuclear import

Alexandra Cribier, Emmanuel Segeral, Olivier Delelis, Vincent Parissi, Aurelie Simon, Marc Ruff, Richard Benarous, Stephane Emiliani Retrovirology 2011, 8:104 (16 December 2011)

The functional analysis of HIV-1 IN mutants reveals distinct structural basis for TNPO3 interaction and suggests that the interaction between IN and TNPO3 is not a major determinant of nuclear import but could take place at a nuclear step prior to integration.

Interplay between HIV Entry and Transportin-SR2 Dependency

Wannes Thys, Stéphanie De Houwer, Jonas Demeulemeester, Oliver Taltynov, Renée Vancraenenbroeck, Melanie Gérard, Jan De Rijck, Rik Gijsbers, Frauke Christ, Zeger Debyser Retrovirology 2011, 8:7 (30 January 2011)

Analysis of viral specificity reveals that TRN-SR2 is not used to the same extent by all lentiviruses. The DNA flap does not determine the TRN-SR2 requirement of HIV-1. The HIV-1 N74D capsid mutant is independent of TRN-SR2 when pseudotyped with the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G). The dependency on TRN-SR2 is lost when the HIV N74D capsid mutant is pseudotyped with envelopes mediating pH-dependent endocytosis, such as the VSV-G and Ebola virus envelopes.
