A genetic screen previously identified the N-terminal 91 amino acids of the eukaryotic initiation factor 3 subunit f (N91-eIF3f) as a potent inhibitor of HIV-1 replication. Overexpression of N91-eIF3f or full-length eIF3f reduced the level of HIV-1 mRNAs in the infected cell. Here we show that N91-eIF3f and eIF3f act by specifically blocking the 3' end processing of the HIV-1 pre-mRNA both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, the results suggest that eIF3f mediates this restriction of HIV-1 expression through the previously unsuspected involvement of a set of factors that includes eIF3f, the SR protein 9G8, and the cyclin-dependent kinase 11 (CDK11). eIF3f affects HIV-1 3' end processing by modulating the sequence-specific recognition of the HIV-1 pre-mRNA by 9G8.
先前的一项基因筛选确定,真核起始因子3亚基f的N端91个氨基酸(N91-eIF3f)是HIV-1复制的有效抑制剂。N91-eIF3f或全长eIF3f的过表达降低了感染细胞中HIV-1 mRNA的水平。在此我们表明,N91-eIF3f和eIF3f通过在体内和体外特异性阻断HIV-1前体mRNA的3'端加工来发挥作用。此外,结果表明,eIF3f通过一组包括eIF3f、SR蛋白9G8和细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶11(CDK11)的因子的先前未被怀疑的参与来介导对HIV-1表达的这种限制。eIF3f通过调节9G8对HIV-1前体mRNA的序列特异性识别来影响HIV-1 3'端加工。
