Popis: | Expression from the HIV-1 LTR can be repressed in a small population of cells, which contributes to the latent reservoir. The factors mediating this repression have not been clearly elucidated. We have identified a network of nuclear RNA surveillance factors that act as effectors of HIV-1 silencing. RRP6, MTR4, ZCCHC8 and ZFC3H1 physically associate with the HIV-1 TAR region and repress transcriptional output and recruitment of RNAPII to the LTR. Knock-down of these factors in J-Lat cells increased the number of GFP-positive cells, with a concomitant increase in histone marks associated with transcriptional activation. Loss of these factors increased HIV-1 expression from infected PBMCs and led to reactivation of HIV-1 from latently infected PBMCs. These findings identify a network of novel transcriptional repressors that control HIV-1 expression and which could open new avenues for therapeutic intervention. Author summary Following integration into the host genome, HIV-1 expression is silenced in a small population of cells, largely via epigenetic mechanisms that repress LTR-mediated transcription. This repression creates a reservoir of cells that prevent an effective cure. It is unclear how and why integrated HIV-1 becomes transcriptionally silenced. Here, we identify a network of nuclear RNA surveillance factors that repress HIV transcription and whose loss increases virus expression in latently infected J-Lat and PBMCs. These findings advance the understanding of transcriptional repression of HIV-1. |
