We have previously shown that human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) integrase is an unstable protein and a substrate for the N-end rule degradation pathway. This degradation pathway shares its ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, Rad6, with the post-replication/translesion DNA repair pathway. Because DNA repair is thought to play an essential role in HIV-1 integration, we investigated whether other molecules of this DNA repair pathway could interact with integrase. We observed that co-expression of human Rad18 induced the accumulation of an otherwise unstable form of HIV-1 integrase. This accumulation occurred even though hRAD18 possesses a RING finger domain, a structure that is generally associated with E3 ubiquitin ligase function and protein degradation. Evidence for an interaction between integrase and hRad18 was obtained through reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation. Moreover we found that a 162-residue region of hRad18 (amino acids 65-226) was sufficient for both integrase stabilization and interaction. Finally, we observed that HIV-1 integrase co-localized with hRad18 in nuclear structures in a subpopulation of co-transfected cells. Taken together, these findings identify hRad18 as a novel interacting partner of HIV-1 integrase and suggest a role for post-replication/translesion DNA repair in the retroviral integration process.

Integrase (IN)1 is essential for the completion of the retroviral life cycle. This viral protein performs different tasks that include cooperation in reverse transcription (1), nuclear import of the pre-integration complex2 (2, 3), HIV-1 particle production (4), and integration of the viral DNA into the host genome (5, 6). In order to mediate these very diverse processes, integrase is believed to associate with a number of cellular factors and to exploit their functions. One such instance is the filling of the gaps left after the ligation of 3'-ends of the viral DNA to the 5'-ends of the staggered cleavage in cellular DNA. The factors involved are thought to be proteins specialized in the maintenance of the genome integrity. It has recently been reported that a particular DNA repair mechanism, the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair pathway, has a major impact on integration frequency (7) and that some of its components interact with the pre-integration complex (8). NHEJ is thought to act on the repair of the gaps (7, 9, 10), although other evidence suggests that it plays a role in the formation of non-integrated HIV-1 DNA circles (8). Regardless, failure to accomplish either of these processes results in apoptosis, which is observed in NHEJ-deficient cells upon infection with HIV-1 (7, 8). Components of another DNA repair pathway, the base excision repair (BER), have been successfully tested in vitro for their ability to repair retroviral integration-dependent gaps (11). Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), an enzyme activated by DNA strand breaks, has also been linked to the retroviral integration process (12, 13). Its proposed role in chromatin decondensation would facilitate access of the repair machinery to the integration site (13).

We recently reported that integrase is a substrate for the N-end rule (14) a distinct ubiquitin-proteasome pathway that defines the half-life of target proteins according to their N-terminal residue (15). Authentic HIV-1 integrase is the proteolytic product of the Gag-Pol polyprotein and specifies an N-terminal phenylalanine, which renders it particularly prone to N-end rule degradation, and therefore makes it very unstable. In general, degradation of proteins by the proteasome proceeds after the substrate has been covalently modified by linkage of a ubiquitin chain. This type of protein tagging is sequentially performed by enzymes or clusters of enzymes broadly named E1, E2, and E3 (16). In yeast, where the N-end rule was first described (17), the E2 molecule is Rad6 (18). Rad6 is involved in a number of apparently diverse processes, such as sporulation, retrotransposition, N-end rule protein degradation, and DNA repair (19). Rad6 is able to bind directly to the E3 molecule of the N-end rule, Ubr-1 (20), and also associates with Rad18 when involved in DNA repair (21). The DNA repair pathway in which Rad6 and Rad18 participate is known as DNA post-replication (PRR)/translesion repair (19, 22). One of the primary roles of the PRR/translesion pathway is to overcome structural restraints such as DNA adducts or UV-induced thymine-dimers that prevent the chromosomal DNA replication from being completed (19). The precise mechanism of action of the Rad6-Rad18 complex has not yet been elucidated. However, it is widely assumed that the Rad6-Rad18 heterodimer converges to the site of blocked DNA synthesis by means of the single strand DNA binding ability of Rad18 (23, 24). Subsequently, the stalled replicative machinery is removed, possibly by Rad6-dependent ubiquitin/proteasome-mediated degradation, and is replaced by protein complexes that include molecules such as Mms2-Ubc13 and Rad5 or repair polymerases such as Poleta or Polzeta (19).

The putative involvement of Rad6 in the degradation of integrase and the similarity between the repair of the retroviral gaps with the proposed post-replication/translesion DNA repair model prompted us to investigate whether PRR/translesion molecules are implicated in integrase function. We demonstrate here that hRad18 interacts with HIV-1 integrase and that it protects integrase from an accelerated degradation. Moreover, hRad18 causes a re-localization of integrase in a subset of transfected cells so that both proteins co-localize in the same sub-nuclear structures.

Plasmids-- HIV-1 integrase pEGFP*IRES-Ub-X-IN-CTE expression constructs have been described previously (14). Human RAD18 cDNA was generated by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, using GenBankTM accession number AB035274 as the reference sequence, and was cloned into the mammalian expression vector pXJFLAG (25), which includes an N-terminal FLAG tag for protein detection purposes. Human RAD18 mutants were obtained by PCR-mediated deletions of the wild-type full-length cDNA and cloned in pXJFLAG by conventional molecular biology techniques. All DNA fragments obtained by PCR and used for cloning purposes were sequenced by the Rockefeller University Protein and DNA Technology Center. For the numbering of mutants, see Fig. 4A.

Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation-- Human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293T cells, seeded at 2.5 × 105 cells/well in 6-well plates were transfected with 1 µg of each plasmid (a total of 2 µg/well DNA in case of co-transfection experiments) using the DNA/calcium-phosphate co-precipitation procedure. 44 h after transfection, cells were lysed in 200 µl/well lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.3, 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 0.2% Triton X-100, and CompleteTM protease inhibitors (Roche, Indianapolis, IN)). After a 30-min incubation at 4 °C, lysates were sonicated with a Sonic Dismembrator 550 (Fisher Scientific) and cleared by 10 min of centrifugation at 20,000 relative centrifugal force at 4 °C. For Western blot analysis, equal amounts of total protein were separated by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide Nupage gels (Invitrogen), then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Amersham Biosciences). Membranes were incubated with 1 µg/ml anti-HIV-1 integrase mouse mAb12 for integrase detection (kindly provided by Dr. A. M. Skalka, Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia, PA) (26) and with 1 µg/ml of anti-FLAG mouse mAb M2 for FLAG-hRad18. As a secondary antibody, a sheep anti-mouse horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibody (Amersham Biosciences) was utilized. Proteins were detected with the ECL-Plus chemiluminescence system (Amersham Biosciences). For co-immunoprecipitation, cleared cell lysates from pooled wells were incubated with either 1 µg/ml anti-HIV-1 integrase mouse mAb12 or with 1 µg/ml anti-FLAG mouse mAb M2 (Sigma) at 4 °C for 1.5 h. Antibody-protein complexes were precipitated with protein A-Sepharose (Amersham Biosciences) and resolved on a 10% polyacrylamide gel. Immunoblotting was then performed as described above, using either anti-integrase mAb12 or anti-FLAG mAb M2 as primary antibodies.

Immunofluorescence-- For subcellular localization studies of hRad18, cells were plated and transfected on human fibronectin (Invitrogen) coated coverslips. Cells were first fixed for 30 min on ice with phosphate-buffered saline with 3% formaldehyde, diluted from a 20% electron microscopy (EM) grade stock solution (Tousimis, Rockville, MD), and then permeabilized with 3% formaldehyde, 0.2% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline for 15 min on ice. For co-localization purposes, transfected cells were permeabilized with CSK buffer (100 mM KCl, 300 mM sucrose, 10 mM PIPES, pH 6.8, 3 mM MgCl2, 0.5% Triton X-100 and CompleteTM protease inhibitors) for 10 min on ice and then fixed with phosphate-buffered saline, 3% formaldehyde for 20 min on ice. Cells treated in either way were probed for the presence of HIV-1 integrase and FLAG-tagged hRad18 with anti-integrase mAb 6G5 (kindly provided by Dr. D. E. Helland, University of Bergen, Norway) (27), 1:500 dilution of culture supernatant, and anti-FLAG (Sigma) rabbit polyclonal antibody (5 µg/ml), respectively. The fluorescent secondary antibodies used were a goat anti-mouse Alexa Fluor® 647 (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) at 10 µg/ml and a fluorescein-conjugated goat anti-mouse, (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) at 1:500 dilution. DNA was stained with 0.5 µM Hoechst 33258. Images were obtained and deconvolved through DeltaVision restoration microscopy system using Softworx software (Applied Precision, Issaquah, Washington).

An in silico amino acid sequence analysis (28) revealed that hRad18 contains a specific type of zinc finger motif known as RING finger. This domain has been proposed to be a distinguishing feature of molecules with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity (29-32). The RING finger domain is also required for the degradative activity of Ubr1, the N-end rule E3 ligase in yeast (33).

Unexpectedly, Western blot analysis showed that three different forms of integrase, two inherently unstable (Phe-IN and Arg-IN) (14), as well as a stable form (Met-IN) significantly accumulated in the presence of co-transfected hRad18 (Fig. 1B). This indicated that hRad18 did not increase degradation of integrase. Rather, this experiment showed that hRad18-mediated stabilization of integrase was largely independent from the N-end rule, since all three forms of integrase were similarly affected. No variation in the amounts of EGFP were detected in the presence or absence of hRad18 (data not shown) ruling out a transcriptional effect on the integrase expression vectors as the cause of the accumulation.

Fig. 1.   Diagram of the plasmids used and effect of hRad18 expression on the stability of HIV-1 integrase. A, the pEGFP*IRES-Ub-X-IN-CTE plasmid series (14) encodes a bicistronic mRNA formed by an EGFP sequence, an encephalomyocarditis virus IRES that allows the translation of a second open reading frame, a Ub moiety fused to the HIV-1 R7/3 IN, and a Mason-Pfizer virus CTE. The cleavage (arrow) by internal deubiquitinylation enzymes allows the generation of different forms of integrase with regard to the N-terminal residue, (X). The pXJFLAG-hRAD18WT plasmid contains a beta -globin intron, followed by a FLAG peptide fused to the human homolog of Rad18. B, three different forms of integrase, differing by their N-terminal amino acid (Ub-Phe-IN, Ub-Arg-IN, Ub-Met-IN) and thus by their inherent stability, were co-transfected either with FLAG-hRad18 or with the empty vector pXJFLAG. The empty vector pEGFP*IRES-ATG served as a negative control for integrase expression. Cell lysates were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, immunoblotted, and probed with anti-HIV-1 integrase, mAb12.

To determine whether the hRad18-induced accumulation of integrase might depend on an interaction between the two molecules, an unstable form of integrase (Phe-IN) was transfected into HEK 293T cells together with FLAG-hRad18 or with an empty vector as control. Following lysis and sonication protein complexes were precipitated either with an anti-integrase or with an anti-FLAG antibody and analyzed by reciprocal immunoblotting. Integrase could be precipitated with an anti-FLAG antibody and hRad18 with an anti-integrase antibody (Fig. 2), which demonstrated an interaction between the two proteins.

Fig. 2.   Co-immunoprecipitation (I.P.) of human Rad18 and HIV-1 integrase. The plasmid encoding FLAG-hRad18 was transfected either with authentic integrase (Phe-IN) or with an empty vector (pEGFP*IRES-ATG); "-." Cell lysates were incubated with anti-FLAG or anti-integrase antibodies. The lysates were precipitated and separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Blots with anti-FLAG precipitates were probed with anti-integrase mAb12, and conversely, blots with anti-integrase precipitates were probed with anti-FLAG mAb M2.

Human Rad18 has been localized to the nucleus (34), which is compatible with its DNA repair function. Indeed, when hRad18 was transfected in HEK 293T cells it was strictly confined to the nuclear compartment (Fig. 3A). However, hRad18 distribution was not always homogeneous, and we consistently observed that it displayed a structured nuclear pattern in a subpopulation of cells. These different distributions conceivably depend on the different physiologic states of the cells.

Fig. 3.   Intracellular distribution of hRad18 and its co-localization with HIV-1 integrase. A, cells transfected with FLAG-hRad18 were fixed and permeabilized. FLAG-hRad18 was detected with anti-FLAG mAb M2 and goat anti-mouse AlexaFluor 594 (red). DNA was stained with Hoechst 33258 (blue). B, cells transfected with FLAG-hRad18 and Met-IN were first permeabilized and then fixed. Integrase was detected with anti-integrase mAb 6G5 and goat anti-mouse AlexaFluor 647 (red), whereas hRad18 was detected with anti-FLAG rabbit polyclonal antibody and goat anti-rabbit fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated antibody (green). DNA was stained with Hoechst 33258 (blue).

When expressed alone, integrase usually exhibited a fine punctate nuclear pattern in 293T cells. However, further immunofluorescence experiments revealed that in a subset of cells co-transfected with hRad18, integrase re-localized within the nucleus to larger structures that coincided with the distribution of hRad18 (Fig. 3B). The permeabilization step used before fixation allowed us to visualize only the complexes that were detergent-resistant and thus more likely to have a relevant role in vivo.

To determine which region of hRad18 was responsible for stabilization of integrase, we performed a deletion mutagenesis analysis. Human Rad18 has at least three putative functional domains, a RING finger, a zinc finger, and a SAP domain (Fig. 4A). We constructed a total of eight deletion mutants (Fig. 4B), each of them harboring an N-terminal FLAG tag for antibody recognition. Experiments were carried out by co-transfecting each of the deletion mutants of hRad18 with the physiologic, unstable form of integrase (Phe-IN). Cell lysates were analyzed by Western blotting for stabilization of integrase and by co-immunoprecipitation to detect binding. All of the hRad18 mutants, except for mutant 1-76, were expressed at levels comparable to that of wild-type hRad18 (Fig. 4B, lower panel). Fig. 4B shows that a number of the mutants were able to stabilize integrase to various degrees (upper panel), but that only one of these mutants (65-226) exhibited a detectable level of binding after our immunoprecipitation protocol (middle panel). The portion of hRad18 encoded by this mutant encompasses the region C-terminal of the RING finger and the putative zinc finger. Interestingly, longer exposure times revealed a minor accumulation of integrase also in two mutants lacking the zinc finger motif, namely 239-495 and to a lesser degree 285-495 (data not shown). This stabilization, though less in magnitude, could be evidence for a second region of interaction with integrase positioned in the C terminus of hRad18. This observation could in part explain why the interaction between integrase and mutant 65-226 is not as effective as with full-length hRad18.

Location of a RING finger (28), a putative zinc finger (34, 45), and a SAP domain (28) are indicated. B, diagram of hRad18 deletion mutants with indicated first and last amino acid. HEK 293T cells were transfected with Phe-IN and FLAG-hRad18 or one of its deletion mutants. Total lysates were either separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and analyzed by immunoblot with anti-HIV-1 integrase mAb12 (top panel, Western blot (W. B.), accumulation of integrase) or with anti-FLAG mAb M2 (lower panel, W. B., FLAG-hRad18 and deletion mutants expression level) or were immunoprecipitated with anti-FLAG mAb M2 and then analyzed by immunoblot with anti-HIV-1 integrase mAb12 (central panel, integrase co-immunoprecipitation (I. P.)). C1 and C2 are control transfections; Phe-IN plus empty vector pXJFLAG and empty vector pEGFP*IRES-ATG plus FLAG-hRad18, respectively.

Weaker interactions due to steric interference with improperly folded domains could be the reason why integrase did not co-precipitate with mutants encoding fragments larger than 65-226. Taken together these results show that a relatively small region within hRad18 encompassing amino acids 65-226 is sufficient for both accumulation of and binding to integrase.

Repair of host chromosomal DNA at the insertion site is pivotal for productive retroviral integration. In this work we tested the hypothesis that components of the DNA postreplication/translesion repair pathway could play a role in HIV-1 integrase biology. We describe the interaction between HIV-1 integrase and hRad 18, whose Saccharomyces cerevisae homologue is an essential member of the PRR/translesion pathway. This interaction results in an increased stabilization of integrase, which in its natural form is a particularly unstable protein (14). In addition to the accumulation of integrase, we observed through reciprocal co-immunoprecipitation an association of hRad18 with integrase. These results suggest that the stability of integrase is tightly regulated by its interaction with hRad18.

A parallel can be drawn between the possible role of hRad18 in HIV-1 integration and that of the protein MuB in the transposition of bacteriophage Mu. Indeed, Mu transposition is a prototype model for retroviral integration. The Mu bacteriophage requires multiple transpositions into the bacterial chromosome to replicate. This complex reaction is orchestrated by its transposase, MuA, in concert with both host and viral factors. After recombination is completed, the nucleoprotein complex (transpososome) is remodeled by the bacterial chaperone molecule ClpX (35, 36) that specifically recognizes MuA and mediates its unfolding and eventually its destabilization (37). The susceptibility of HIV-1 integrase to rapid degradation by the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway N-end rule (14) and a recent report indicating that in vitro an excess of integrase inhibits closure of the DNA single strand intervals (11) seems to suggest that indeed the integration complex (intasome) needs to be disassembled for integration to be completed. The phage protein MuB has been found to exert part of its function before the destabilization of the transpososome. MuB has been reported to stabilize the transposition complex by binding the transposase MuA in a region that overlaps with the binding site recognized by ClpX for disassembly and remodeling (38). Therefore, it is suggested that MuB has a modulatory activity, allowing the remodeling of the transpososome to proceed exclusively during the transition to the replicative stage (38). By analogy we propose that hRad18 may regulate the stability of integrase to guarantee a productive insertion of the viral genome into the host DNA.

A ubiquitin ligase function of hRad18 favoring the degradation of integrase cannot be excluded, and one could interpret the stabilization effect as a titration of the endogenous factors necessary for an efficient proteolytic degradation due to over-expression of hRad18 itself. However, the possibility that hRad18 titrates the human homologues of Rad6 is unlikely since it has been reported that the RING finger of hRad18 is necessary for hRad6A/B-hRad18 binding (34). Our deletion analysis showed that the RING finger motif does not play an essential role in the interaction between hRad18 and HIV-1 integrase, ruling out a direct competition between HIV-1 integrase and hRad6A/B for hRad18 binding. Indeed, the 162-amino acid peptide that encompasses a putative zinc finger seems to be sufficient to both stabilize and associate with integrase.

The re-localization of integrase and its co-localization with hRad18 in a subset of cells suggests an additional function for this association. Human Rad18 contains a putative SAP-box (39), a domain recently recognized to mediate the binding of certain proteins to specific A/T-rich DNA regions known as the scaffold attachment regions (SAR) (40). Interestingly, PARP-1, Ku antigens, and HMG-I/Y, which are involved in retroviral integration (7, 12, 13, 41), have all been found to be SAR-binding proteins (42-44). An intriguing possibility is that the molecules relevant for HIV-1 integration cluster together, perhaps in the vicinity of SARs, achieving in this way the coordination required for these complex reactions.

A role for the molecules of the PRR/translesion pathway in retroviral integration does not rule out other DNA repair mechanisms such as NHEJ or BER (7, 11). Examples for an overlap between DNA repair pathways that can function on the same damaged site have been recently reported in yeast. For instance, the activity of the Srs2 helicase is the main switch for the interaction between RAD6-RAD18 and the RAD52 epistasis (19). Thus, it is conceivable that different DNA repair pathways complement each other to complete the sequence of events that leads to a productive HIV-1 integration.
