Karadeniz F, Kim SK. Phospho-Chitooligosaccharides below 1 kDa Inhibit HIV-1 Entry In Vitro. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:3729-3740. [PMID: 38666962 PMCID: PMC11049328 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46040232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite present antiviral agents that can effectively work against HIV-1 replication, side effects and drug resistance have pushed researchers toward novel approaches. In this context, there is a continued focus on discovering new and more effective antiviral compounds, particularly those that have a natural origin. Polysaccharides are known for their numerous bioactivities, including inhibiting HIV-1 infection and replication. In the present study, phosphorylated chitosan oligosaccharides (PCOSs) were evaluated for their anti-HIV-1 potential in vitro. Treatment with PCOSs effectively protected cells from HIV-1-induced lytic effects and suppressed the production of HIV-1 p24 protein. In addition, results show that PCOSs lost their protective effect upon post-infection treatment. According to the results of ELISA, PCOSs notably disrupted the binding of HIV-1 gp120 protein to T cell surface receptor CD4, which is required for HIV-1 entry. Overall, the results point out that PCOSs might prevent HIV-1 infection at the entry stage, possibly via blocking the viral entry through disruption of virus-cell fusion. Nevertheless, the current results only present the potential of PCOSs, and further studies to elucidate its action mechanism in detail are needed to employ phosphorylation of COSs as a method to develop novel antiviral agents.

Characterization of the PLP-dependent transaminase initiating azasugar biosynthesis. Biochem J 2018; 475:2241-2256. [PMID: 29907615 DOI: 10.1042/bcj20180340] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2018] [Revised: 06/08/2018] [Accepted: 06/14/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Biosynthesis of the azasugar 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) critically involves a transamination in the first committed step. Here, we identify the azasugar biosynthetic cluster signature in Paenibacillus polymyxa SC2 (Ppo), homologous to that reported in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FZB42 (Bam), and report the characterization of the aminotransferase GabT1 (named from Bam). GabT1 from Ppo exhibits a specific activity of 4.9 nmol/min/mg at 30°C (pH 7.5), a somewhat promiscuous amino donor selectivity, and curvilinear steady-state kinetics that do not reflect the predicted ping-pong behavior typical of aminotransferases. Analysis of the first half reaction with l-glutamate in the absence of the acceptor fructose 6-phosphate revealed that it was capable of catalyzing multiple turnovers of glutamate. Kinetic modeling of steady-state initial velocity data was consistent with a novel hybrid branching kinetic mechanism which included dissociation of PMP after the first half reaction to generate the apoenzyme which could bind PLP for another catalytic deamination event. Based on comparative sequence analyses, we identified an uncommon His-Val dyad in the PLP-binding pocket which we hypothesized was responsible for the unusual kinetics. Restoration of the conserved PLP-binding site motif via the mutant H119F restored classic ping-pong kinetic behavior.

p53-derived host restriction of HIV-1 replication by protein kinase R-mediated Tat phosphorylation and inactivation. J Virol 2015; 89:4262-80.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Tumor suppressor p53 has been suggested to be a host restriction factor against HIV-1 replication, but the detailed molecular mechanism has remained elusive for decades. Here, we demonstrate that p53-mediated HIV-1 suppression is attributed to double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-dependent protein kinase (PKR)-mediated HIV-1 trans-activator (Tat) phosphorylation and inactivation. p53 silencing significantly enhanced HIV-1 replication in infected cells. Ectopic expression of p53 suppressed Tat activity, which was rescued by PKR silencing. In addition, ectopic expression of PKR abolished Tat activity in p53(-/-) and eIF2α(CA) cells. Finally, we found that HIV-1 infection activates p53, followed by the induction and activation of PKR. PKR directly interacted with HIV-1 Tat and phosphorylates the first exon of Tat exclusively at five Ser/Thr residues (T23, T40, S46, S62, and S68), which inhibits Tat-mediated provirus transcription in three critical steps: (i) phosphorylation near the arginine-rich motif (ARM) inhibits Tat translocation into the nucleus, (ii) accumulation of Tat phosphorylation abolishes Tat-Tat-responsive region (TAR) binding, and (iii) Tat phosphorylation at T23 and/or T40 obliterates the Tat-cyclin T1 interaction. These five Ser/Thr sites on Tat were highly conserved in HIV-1 strains prevalent in Europe and the United States. Taken together, our findings indicate that p53-derived host restriction of HIV-1 replication is likely attributable, at least in part, to a noncanonical p53/PKR/Tat phosphorylation and inactivation pathway in HIV-1 infection and AIDS pathogenesis. IMPORTANCE HIV-1-mediated disease progression to AIDS lasts for years to decades after primary infection. Host restriction and associated viral latency have been studied for several decades. p53 has been suggested as an important host restriction factor against HIV-1 replication. However, the detailed molecular mechanism is still unclear. In the present study, we found that the p53-mediated HIV-1 restriction is attributed to a p53/PKR/Tat-inactivation pathway. HIV-1 infection activated p53, which subsequently induced PKR expression and activation. PKR directly phosphorylated Tat exclusively at five specific Ser/Thr residues, which was accompanied by significant suppression of HIV-1 replication. Accumulation of Tat phosphorylation at these sites inhibited Tat function by blocking Tat nuclear localization, Tat binding to TAR, and Tat-cyclin T1 interaction. Our findings provide a better understanding of the p53-derived host restriction mechanism against HIV-1 replication in AIDS pathogenesis and may contribute to further research focusing on the investigation of potential therapeutic targets for HIV-1.

Lee J, Byeon SE, Jung JY, Kang MH, Park YJ, Jung KE, Bae YS. Azasugar-containing phosphorothioate oligonucleotide (AZPSON) DBM-2198 inhibits human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication by blocking HIV-1 gp120 without affecting the V3 region. Mol Cells 2015; 38:122-9. [PMID: 25623024 PMCID: PMC4332031 DOI: 10.14348/molcells.2015.2129] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2014] [Revised: 10/29/2014] [Accepted: 11/03/2014] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
DBM-2198, a six-membered azasugar nucleotide (6-AZN)-containing phosphorothioate (P = S) oligonucleotide (AZPSON), was described in our previous publication [Lee et al. (2005)] with regard to its antiviral activity against a broad spectrum of HIV-1 variants. This report describes the mechanisms underlying the anti-HIV-1 properties of DBM-2198. The LTR-mediated reporter assay indicated that the anti-HIV-1 activity of DBM-2198 is attributed to an extracellular mode of action rather than intracellular sequence-specific antisense activity. Nevertheless, the antiviral properties of DBM-2198 and other AZPSONs were highly restricted to HIV-1. Unlike other P = S oligonucleo-tides, DBM-2198 caused no host cell activation upon administration to cultures. HIV-1 that was pre-incubated with DBM-2198 did not show any infectivity towards host cells whereas host cells pre-incubated with DBM-2198 remained susceptible to HIV-1 infection, suggesting that DBM-2198 acts on the virus particle rather than cell surface molecules in the inhibition of HIV-1 infection. Competition assays for binding to HIV-1 envelope protein with anti-gp120 and anti-V3 antibodies revealed that DBM-2198 acts on the viral attachment site of HIV-1 gp120, but not on the V3 region. This report provides a better understanding of the antiviral mechanism of DBM-2198 and may contribute to the development of a potential therapeutic drug against a broad spectrum of HIV-1 variants.

Abstract
8,4‴-dieckol is a natural product which has been isolated from brown alga, Ecklonia cava. This polyphenolic compound is a phlorotannin derivative with a broad range of bioactivities. Its inhibitory activity on human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) was tested and the results indicated that 8,4‴-dieckol inhibited HIV-1 induced syncytia formation, lytic effects, and viral p24 antigen production at noncytotoxic concentrations. Furthermore, it was found that 8,4‴-dieckol selectively inhibited the activity of HIV-1 reverse trancriptase (RT) enzyme with 91% inhibition ratio at the concentration of 50 μM. HIV-1 entry was also inhibited by 8,4‴-dieckol. According to data from this study, 8,4‴-dieckol is an effective compound against HIV-1 with high potential for further studies. These results suggest that it might be used as a drug candidate for the development of new generation therapeutic agents, although further studies on the mechanism of inhibition should be addressed.

Abstract
Chitooligosaccharides are nontoxic and water-soluble compounds obtained by enzymatic degradation of chitosan, which is derived from chitin by a deacetylation process. Chitooligosaccharides possess broad range of activities such as antitumour, antifungal, antibacterial activities. Sulfated chitooligosaccharides (SCOSs) with different molecular weights were synthesized by a random sulfation reaction. In the present study, anti-HIV-1 properties of SCOSs and the impact of molecular weight on their inhibitory activity were investigated. SCOS III (MW 3-5 kDa) was found to be the most effective compound to inhibit HIV-1 replication. At nontoxic concentrations, SCOS III exhibited remarkable inhibitory activities on HIV-1-induced syncytia formation (EC(50) 2.19 microg/ml), lytic effect (EC(50) 1.43 microg/ml), and p24 antigen production (EC(50) 4.33 microg/ml and 7.76 microg/ml for HIV-1(RF) and HIV-1(Ba-L), respectively). In contrast, unsulfated chitooligosaccharides showed no activity against HIV-1. Furthermore, it was found that SCOS III blocked viral entry and virus-cell fusion probably via disrupting the binding of HIV-1 gp120 to CD4 cell surface receptor. These results suggest that sulfated chitooligosaccharides represent novel candidates for the development of anti-HIV-1 agent.

Abstract
Ecklonia cava (EC), which is an edible marine brown alga with a broad range of bioactivities, belongs to the family of Laminariaceae. The bioactive 6,6'-bieckol, one of the main phloroglucinol derivatives naturally occurred from this genus, was isolated and characterized by NMR techniques. For the first time, human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) inhibitory activity of 6,6'-bieckol showed wild inhibition against HIV-1 induced syncytia formation (EC(50) 1.72 microM), lytic effects (EC(50) 1.23 microM), and viral p24 antigen production (EC(50) 1.26 microM), respectively. This result was strongly and clearly supported by the further investigation also, which 6,6'-bieckol selectively inhibited the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme with EC(50) of 1.07 microM, as well as HIV-1 entry. Moreover, unlike most of other tannins, 6,6'-bieckol exhibited no cytotoxicity at concentrations which inhibited HIV-1 replication almost completely. Thus, it can be suggested that the potentially effective 6,6'-bieckol might be employed as a drug candidate for development of new generation therapeutic agents against HIV.
