    Abstract:
    The HIV-1 capsid (CA) utilizes CPSF6 for nuclear entry and integration site targeting. Previous studies demonstrated that the HIV-1 CA C-terminal domain (CTD) contains a highly conserved K182 residue involved in interaction with CPSF6. In contrast, certain HIV-2 strains possess a substitution at this residue (K182R). To assess whether CA-CPSF6 interaction via the CA CTD is conserved among primate lentiviruses, we examined resistance of several HIV-1- and HIV-2-lineage viruses to a truncated form of CPSF6, CPSF6-358. The results demonstrated that viruses belonging to the HIV-2-lineage maintain interaction with CPSF6 regardless of the presence of the K182R substitution, in contrast to the case with HIV-1-lineage viruses. Our structure-guided mutagenesis indicated that the differential requirement for CA-CPSF6 interaction is regulated in part by residues near the 182nd amino acid of CA. These results demonstrate a previously unrecognized distinction between HIV-1 and HIV-2, which may reflect differences in their evolutionary histories.
