Soraphen A is a myxobacterial metabolite that blocks the acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase of the host and was previously identified as a novel HIV inhibitor. Here, we report that soraphen A acts by reducing virus production and altering the gp120 virion content, impacting entry capacity and infectivity. These effects are partially reversed by addition of palmitic acid, suggesting that inhibition of HIV envelope palmitoylation is one of the mechanisms of antiviral action.
索拉芬A是一种粘细菌代谢产物,可阻断宿主的乙酰辅酶A羧化酶,此前被鉴定为一种新型HIV抑制剂。在此,我们报告索拉芬A通过减少病毒产生和改变病毒体gp120含量来发挥作用,影响进入能力和感染性。添加棕榈酸可部分逆转这些效应,这表明抑制HIV包膜的棕榈酰化是抗病毒作用的机制之一。
