| 摘要 | Type I interferon (IFN-I) and its downstream genes play a profound role in HIV infection. In this study, we found that an IFN-inducible gene, IFI27, was upregula ted in HIV-1 infection, which in turn efficiently suppressed HIV-1 replication, specially degraded the viral gag protein, including p24 and p55 subunits. Notably, the anti-HIV-1 activity of IFI27 in Old World monkeys surpassed that in New World monkeys, and IFI27 has a higher potentially inhibitory effect on HIV-1 than simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). Our initial observations showed that NPM-IFI27, the IFI27 variant in northern pig-tailed macaque ( Macaca leonina, NPM), exhibited a strong anti-HIV-1 activity. Further investigation demonstrated that NPM-IFI27 degraded p24 and p55 via the ubiquitinproteasome pathway, with NPM-IFI27-37-115 interacting with the p24-N domain, and the NPM-IFI27-76-122 domain was closely associated with K48 ubiquitin recruitment. Additionally, Skp2 was identified as the probable E3 ubiquitin ligase responsible for the degradation of p24 and p55. Similarly, human IFI27 (Hu-IFI27) showed a mechanism similar to NPM-IFI27 in HIV-1 inhibition. These findings underscore the pivotal role of NPM-IFI27 in HIV-1 infection and provide a potential strategy for clinical anti-HIV-1 therapy. IMPORTANCE HIV-1 infection can trigger the production of IFN-I, which subsequently activates the expression of various IFN-stimulated genes (ISGs) to antagonize the virus. Therefore, discovering novel host antiviral agents for HIV-1 treatment is crucial. Our previous study revealed that IFI27 can influence HIV-1 replication. In this study, we observed that the NPM-IFI27 complex specifically inhibited HIV-1 by targeting its Gag protein. Further exploration demonstrated that IFI27 interacted with the HIV-1 p24 and p55 proteins, leading to their degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Notably, the NPM-IFI27-37-122 variant exhibited potent anti-HIV-1 activity, comparable to that of SAMHD1. These findings highlight the critical role and inhibitory mechanism of NPM-IFI27 in HIV-1 infection, providing a potential strategy for clinical antiviral therapy. |
