Abstract:
:Transcription of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) is activated through binding of the viral Tat protein to the trans-activating response (TAR) element at the 5' end of the nascent transcript. Whereas HIV type 1 (HIV-1) TAR folds a simple hairpin structure, the corresponding domains of HIV-2 and SIVmac exhibit a more complex structure composed of three stem-loops. This structural polymorphism may be attributed to additional functions of TAR in HIV-2/SIVmac replication. We recently constructed an SIVmac variant that does not require the Tat-TAR interaction for transcription. We used this variant to study additional roles of TAR in SIVmac replication and generated mutants with a truncated TAR structure. We demonstrate that partial or nearly complete removal of TAR does not impair viral transcription, RNA processing, and translation. Moreover, these deletions do not significantly affect virus replication in the PM1 T-cell line and macaque peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These results demonstrate that the complex TAR structure in SIVmac has no other essential function in virus replication in vitro besides its role in Tat-mediated activation of transcription.
