Abstract

Integration is the defining step of the retroviral life cycle and underlies the inability to cure HIV/AIDS through the use of intensified antiviral therapy. The reservoir of latent, replication-competent proviruses that forms early during HIV infection reseeds viremia when patients discontinue medication. HIV cure research is accordingly focused on the factors that guide provirus formation and associated chromatin environments that regulate transcriptional reactivation, and studies of orthologous infectious agents such as nonprimate lentiviruses can inform basic principles of HIV biology. HIV-1 utilizes the integrase-binding protein LEDGF/p75 and the capsid interactor CPSF6 to target speckle-associated domains (SPADs) for integration. However, the extent to which these two host proteins regulate integration of other lentiviruses is largely unknown. Here, we mapped millions of retroviral integration sites in cell lines that were depleted for LEDGF/p75 and/or CPSF6. Our results reveal that primate lentiviruses uniquely target SPADs for integration in a CPSF6-dependent manner.

  • Non-primate lentiviruses show minimal preference for integrating into SPADs, and their capsid proteins do not bind CPSF6.

    “Interestingly, non-primate lentiviruses displayed minimal preferences for integrating into SPADs, and the respective capsid proteins did not bind CPSF6 (REF.87).”

  • Genic proviruses formed when LEDGF/p75 was absent clustered near transcription start sites.

    “The genic proviruses that did form under these conditions uncharacteristically congregated around transcription start sites87,99–101.”

  • Recent work uncovered surprising differences in mechanisms targeting retroviral integration, even within a single genus.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
