TRIM28 suppresses HIV-1 expression and contributes to HIV-1 latency.

(A) A siRNA library targeting 182 human genes was transfected into TZM-bl cell line, respectively. Three distinct siRNAs targeting each gene were transfected as a mixture. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, cells were harvested and the activity of luciferase from cell lysates was measured. Fold changes were calculated for each gene compared to negative control siRNA (siNC). (B–C) shRNA constructs were packaged into recombinant lentiviruses and infected J-Lat 10.6. The reactivation efficiency was measured by the GFP-positive percentage which was shown in the top right corner. SAHA and JQ-1 were used as positive controls.

Most of the unstimulated CD4+ T cells were naïve cells which were CD45RA+/CD45RO-/CD62L+/CD69-/CD25-. After PHA stimulation, CD4+ T cells started to change into CD45RA-/CD45RO+/CD62L- and express high amounts of activation markers CD69 and CD25 which were the identities of activated effector cells. Most of long-term cultured resting CD4+ T cells were CD45RA-/CD45RO+/CD62L-/CD69-/CD25- which were the identities of effector memory CD4+ T cells.

Figure 9—figure supplement 1
The Lys44, Lys56 and Lys68 residues of CDK9 are SUMOylated with SUMO4.

(A) Schematic of different CDK9 mutants. CDK9-K0R indicated that all lysines had been mutated to arginines. CDK9-KKR indicated that the third part of CDK9 had mutated all lysines to arginines. The left five clones were mutated similarly. (B) HA-tagged wild type CDK9 and different CDK9 mutants were co-overexpressed with Flag-tagged SUMO4, Flag-tagged UBC9 and Flag-tagged TRIM28. HA-tagged proteins were IP with anti-HA beads followed by IB with antibodies against HA-tag and Flag-tag. Both total samples (lower panel) and IP samples (upper panel) were IB for each group. (C) Schematic of target-specific SUMO-MS. HA-tagged CDK9 was co-overexpressed with Flag-tagged SUMO4-Q88R or His-tagged SUMO4-Q88R respectively. Anti-HA-tag beads were used to IP CDK9 and SUMO-CDK9 (left panel). The SUMOylation efficiency was determined by IB (middle panel). HA-tagged targets were separated by SDS-PAGE and developed by silver staining (right panel). Red frames indicated that SUMO-CDK9. SUMO-CDK9 was cut out and conducted in-gel digestion. The digested peptides were desalted and proceeded to nanoscale LC-MS/MS. (D) Results of the target-specific SUMO-MS of CDK9. Protein sequence coverage was 81% covering nearly all lysines. Three SUMOylation sites which were identified through SUMOylation assay were shown on the right panel. (E) Second-order mass spectra of CDK9 SUMOylation sites Lys44, Lys56 and Lys68.

TRIM28 depletion reactivates latent HIV-1 in cells from HIV-1-infected individuals.

(A) shRNAs targeting luciferase and TRIM28 were packaged into lentiviruses and infected CD4+ T cells from HIV-1-infected individuals. Unstimulated CD4 +T cells were used as negative control (NC). Stimulation with αCD3/αCD28/IL-2 was used as positive control. Intracellular HIV-1 RNA was isolated and quantitated by qPCR. Experiments were conducted in three HIV-1-infected individuals. (B) The experiment setting was as in (A). Envelope V1 to V3 region from intracellular HIV-1 RNAs was reverse-transcribed and PCR-amplified. The PCR products were TA-ligated in pMD-18 T vector. At least 60 single clones were picked from each group and sequenced. The sequences from each group were aligned and the genetic diversity index was calculated and analyzed by Mann-Whitney U-test. The upper panel showed the statistical analysis results. The lower panel indicated the bootstrap consensus trees which were generated based on HIV-1 sequences. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001. (C) Resting CD4+ T cells from HIV-1-infected individuals were isolated and nucleofected with siRNAs targeting negative control or TRIM28. Seventy-two hours later, PHA-stimulated uninfected CD4+ T cells were added into each group and co-cultured for another 27 days. The supernatants were collected and half-changed every 3 days. P24 antigens in supernatants were measured with ELISA and plotted in log10 scale. Dashed lines indicated the limit of detection (L.O.D.) of 50 pg/ml. Triplicates were represented by mean ±SEM. (D) Schematic of TRIM28-mediated HIV-1 latency.

Cytotoxicity assay, cell viability assay and cell number counting used to evaluate the toxicity of targeting TRIM28.

(A) TRIM28 in Hela cells and HIV-1-infected CD4+ T cells was knocked down by siRNA targeting TRIM28. ShRNA and sgRNA lentiviruses targeting TRIM28 were used to knock down TRIM28 and knock out TRIM28 in J-Lat 10.6 respectively. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) reagents were incubated with wild type and TRIM28-deficient cells for 3 hr followed by measuring the absorbance at 450 nm using a microplate reader. Fold changes of absorbance in each group were normalized to wild-type groups. (B) The experiment setup was conducted as in (A). The percentages of viable cells were quantitated every 2 days by measuring the percentages of amine-reactive fluorescent dye non-permeant cells. (C) The experiment setup was conducted as in (A). Cell numbers were recorded every 2 days for both wild-type and TRIM28-deficient cells.

Figure 10—figure supplement 2
Cell proliferation assay used to evaluate the toxicity of targeting TRIM28.

(A–D) The experiment setup was conducted as in Figure 10—figure supplement 1. On Day 0, cells from each group were stained with CFSE. The percentage and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CFSE-positive cells were analyzed by flow cytometry every 2 days.

(A) SiRNAs targeting NC and SUMO4 were nucleofected into CD4+ T cells from HIV-1-infected individuals. Unstimulated CD4+ T cells were used as Mock. Stimulation with αCD3/αCD28/IL-2 was used as positive control. Intracellular HIV-1 RNA was isolated and quantitated by qPCR. Experiments were conducted in three HIV-1-infected individuals.

SiRNA library used to screen HIV-1 suppression and latency contributors.

SiRNA library, which targeted several cellular pathways within the nucleus including chromatin binding, epigenetic modification, chromatin remodeling, ubiquitination, SUMOylation, and chromosome organization, was transfected into TZM-bl cells respectively. Both library and negative control siRNA were synthesized from RiboBio (Guangzhou, China).

Supplementary file 2

ChIP primers used to explore the enrichment of target proteins on HIV-1.

Eight ChIP-qPCR primers targeting integrated HIV-1 reporter provirus in TZM-bl cell line were designed. G5: Cellular DNA and viral 5’LTR junction; A: Nucleosome 0 assembly site; B: Nucleosome free region; C: Nucleosome one assembly site; V5: Viral 5’LTR and gag leader sequence junction; L: Luciferase region; V3: Viral poly purine tract and 3’LTR junction; G3: Viral 3’LTR and cellular DNA junction. For ChIP-qPCR conducted in J-Lat 10.6, G5’ represented cellular DNA and viral 5’LTR junction; E represented envelop; G3’ represented viral 3’LTR and cellular DNA junction; A, B, C, V5 and V3 represented as in TZM-bl cell lines.

SUMO mutants used in SUMO-MS and CDK9 mutants used to identify SUMOylation sites.

The sequences of SUMO1-Q92R, SUMO2-Q88R and SUMO4-Q88R mutants, which mimicked yeast SUMO Smt3 to enable efficient identification of SUMO-acceptor lysines by MS, were represented below. Table also listed the major CDK9 mutants used in reversing mutation assay to identify SUMOylation sites on CDK9. All the sequences were verified by Sanger Sequencing to insure the accuracy.

Subclusters clustered by MCODE analysis.

Twelve highly interconnected functional subclusters were extracted from STRING network by MCODE analysis. Interconnectivity scores ranged from 14 to 96. Genes from each cluster were listed.
