Title: The activity of the HIV-1 IRES is stimulated by oxidative stress and controlled by a negative regulatory element

    Snippet: In this study, we investigated the activity of the 5 0 UTR IRES of HIV-1, using site-directed mutagenesis. We also investigated the effect of various stress conditions on this IRES activity. We found that deleting an unstructured region downstream of the PBS (nt 202-217), mutating 3 nt (nt 240-242) in a 4-nt bulge in the DIS hairpin or mutating a stretch of four A (nt 302-305) in loop I downstream of the SD hairpin, decrease the IRES activity.

    Document: In this study, we investigated the activity of the 5 0 UTR IRES of HIV-1, using site-directed mutagenesis. We also investigated the effect of various stress conditions on this IRES activity. We found that deleting an unstructured region downstream of the PBS (nt 202-217), mutating 3 nt (nt 240-242) in a 4-nt bulge in the DIS hairpin or mutating a stretch of four A (nt 302-305) in loop I downstream of the SD hairpin, decrease the IRES activity. In contrast, deleting or mutating a stem-loop upstream of the PBS (nt 134-178) increases the IRES activity. A similar increase is observed when the activity of the wild-type IRES is assessed in cells treated with agents that induce oxidative stress. The relationship between the mutational analysis and the IRES activity is discussed. A model is proposed to account for the effect of the 134-178 stemloop on the IRES activity in relationship with the oxidative stress caused by infection with HIV-1.
