HIV-1 Vpr Reprograms CLR4<sup>DCAF1</sup> E3 Ubiquitin Ligase to Antagonize Exonuclease 1-Mediated Restriction of HIV-1 Infection

ABSTRACT Viral accessory proteins hijack host cell E3 ubiquitin ligases to antagonize innate/intrinsic defenses and thereby provide a more permissive environment for virus replication. Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) accessory protein Vpr reprograms CRL4DCAF1 E3 to antagonize select post...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) accessory protein Vpr reprograms CRL4DCAF1 E3 to antagonize select postreplication DNA repair enzymes, but the significance and role of these Vpr interactions are poorly understood. To gain additional insights, we performed a focused screen for substrates of CRL4DCAF1 E3 reprogrammed by HIV-1 Vpr among known postreplication DNA repair proteins and identified exonuclease 1 (Exo1) as a novel direct HIV-1 Vpr target. We show that HIV-1 Vpr recruits Exo1 to the CRL4DCAF1 E3 complex for ubiquitination and subsequent proteasome-dependent degradation and that Exo1 levels are depleted in HIV-1-infected cells in a Vpr-dependent manner. We also show that Exo1 inhibits HIV-1 replication in T cells. Notably, the antagonism of Exo1 is a conserved function of main group HIV-1 and its ancestor Vpr proteins in the simian immunodeficiency virus from chimpanzee (SIVcpz) lineage, further underscoring the relevance of our findings. Overall, our studies (i) reveal that HIV-1 Vpr extensively remodels the cellular postreplication DNA repair machinery by impinging on multiple repair pathways, (ii) support a model in which Vpr promotes HIV-1 replication by antagonizing select DNA repair enzymes, and (iii) highlight the importance of a new class of restrictions placed on HIV-1 replication in T cells by the cellular DNA repair machinery.

Therefore, the finding that the HIV-1 accessory protein Vpr antagonizes select postreplication DNA repair enzymes that can process HIV-1 reverse transcripts has been surprising. Here, we show that one such Vpr-antagonized enzyme, exonuclease 1, inhibits HIV-1 replication in T cells.
