We have reported that human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase
(IN) forms a specific nuclear complex with human lens epithelium-derived
growth factor/transcription co-activator p75 (LEDGF/p75) protein. We now
studied the IN-LEDGF/p75 interaction and nuclear import of IN in living cells
using fusions of IN and LEDGF/p75 with enhanced green fluorescent protein and
far-red fluorescent protein HcRed1. We show that both the N-terminal zinc
binding domain and the central core domains of IN are involved in the
interaction with LEDGF/p75. Both domains are essential for nuclear
localization of IN as well as for the association of IN with condensed
chromosomes during mitosis. However, upon overexpression of LEDGF/p75, the
core domain fragment of IN was recruited to the nuclei and mitotic chromosomes
with a distribution pattern characteristic of the full-length protein,
indicating that it harbors the main determinant for interaction with
LEDGF/p75. Although the C-terminal domain of IN was dispensable for
nuclear/chromosomal localization, a fusion of the C-terminal IN fragment with
enhanced green fluorescent protein was found exclusively in the nucleus, with
a diffuse nuclear/nucleolar distribution, suggesting that the C-terminal
domain may also play a role in the nuclear import of IN. In contrast to
LEDGF/p75, its alternative splice variant, p52, did not interact with HIV-1 IN
in vitro and in living cells. Finally, RNA interference-mediated
knock-down of endogenous LEDGF/p75 expression abolished nuclear/chromosomal
localization of IN. We conclude, therefore, that the interaction with
LEDGF/p75 accounts for the karyophilic properties and chromosomal targeting of
HIV-1 IN.
