Although we transfected with the same amount of plasmid DNA, expression levels of E88A, W38A, D14/R15AA, Y40A, Y69A and G84D were comparable to wild-type Vif, but those of W89A, E88/W89A and W21A mutants were obviously impaired (Fig. S1, 2nd top panel). |

Abstract
|
Vif is essential for HIV-1 replication in T cells and macrophages. Vif recruits a host ubiquitin ligase complex to promote proteasomal degradation of the APOBEC3 restriction factors by poly-ubiquitination. The cellular transcription cofactor CBFbeta is required for Vif function by stabilizing the Vif protein and promoting recruitment of a cellular Cullin5-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Interaction between Vif and CBFbeta is a promising therapeutic target, but little is known about the interfacial residues. We now demonstrate that Vif conserved residues E88/W89 are crucial for CBFbeta binding. Substitution of E88/W89 to alanines impaired binding to CBFbeta, degradation of APOBEC3, and virus infectivity in the presence of APOBEC3 in single-cycle infection. In spreading infection, NL4-3 with Vif E88A/W89A mutation replicated comparably to wild-type virus in permissive CEM-SS cells, but not in multiple APOBEC3 expressing non-permissive CEM cells. These results support a model in which HIV-1 Vif residues E88/W89 may participate in binding CBFbeta.
