The 5'-untranslated leader region of human
immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA contains multiple signals
that control distinct steps of the viral replication cycle such as
transcription, reverse transcription, genomic RNA dimerization,
splicing, and packaging. It is likely that fine tuned coordinated
regulation of these functions is achieved through specific RNA-protein
and RNA-RNA interactions. In a search for cis-acting
elements important for the tertiary structure of the 5'-untranslated
region of HIV-1 genomic RNA, we identified, by ladder selection
experiments, a short stretch of nucleotides directly downstream of the
poly(A) signal that interacts with a nucleotide sequence located in the matrix region. Confirmation of the sequence of the interacting sites
was obtained by partial or complete inhibition of this interaction by
antisense oligonucleotides and by nucleotide substitutions. In the wild
type RNA, this long range interaction was intramolecular, since no
intermolecular RNA association was detected by gel electrophoresis with
an RNA mutated in the dimerization initiation site and
containing both sequences involved in the tertiary interaction.
Moreover, the functional importance of this interaction is supported by its conservation in all HIV-1 isolates as well as in HIV-2 and simian
immunodeficiency virus. Our results raise the possibility that this
long range RNA-RNA interaction might be involved in the full-length
genomic RNA selection during packaging, repression of the 5'
polyadenylation signal, and/or splicing regulation.
