Role of co-expressed APOBEC3F and APOBEC3G in inducing HIV-1 drug resistance.


ABSTRACT: The APOBEC3 enzymes can induce mutagenesis of HIV-1 proviral DNA through the deamination of cytosine. HIV-1 overcomes this restriction through the viral protein Vif that induces APOBEC3 proteasomal degradation. Within this dynamic host-pathogen relationship, the APOBEC3 enzymes have been found to be beneficial, neutral, or detrimental to HIV-1 biology. Here, we assessed the ability of co-expressed APOBEC3F and APOBEC3G to induce HIV-1 resistance to antiviral drugs. We found that co-expression of APOBEC3F and APOBEC3G enabled partial resistance of APOBEC3F to Vif-mediated degradation with a corresponding increase in APOBEC3F-induced deaminations in the presence of Vif, in addition to APOBEC3G-induced deaminations. We recovered HIV-1 drug resistant variants resulting from APOBEC3-induced mutagenesis, but these variants were less able to replicate than drug resistant viruses derived from RT-induced mutations alone. The data support a model in which APOBEC3 enzymes cooperate to restrict HIV-1, promoting viral inactivation over evolution to drug resistance.
