Abstract
The HIV-1 capsid, composed of approximately 1,200 copies of the capsid protein, encases genomic RNA alongside viral nucleocapsid, reverse transcriptase, and integrase proteins. After cell entry, the capsid interacts with a myriad of host factors to traverse the cell cytoplasm, pass through the nuclear pore complex (NPC), and then traffic to chromosomal sites for viral DNA integration. Integration may very well require the dissolution of the capsid, but where and when this uncoating event occurs remains hotly debated. Based on size constraints, a long-prevailing view was that uncoating preceded nuclear transport, but recent research has indicated that the capsid may remain largely intact during nuclear import, with perhaps some structural remodeling required for NPC traversal. Completion of reverse transcription in the nucleus may further aid capsid uncoating. One canonical type of host factor, typified by CPSF6, leverages a Phe-Gly (FG) motif to bind capsid. Recent research has shown these peptides reside amid prion-like domains (PrLDs), which are stretches of protein sequence devoid of charged residues. Intermolecular PrLD interactions along the exterior of the capsid shell impart avid host factor binding for productive HIV-1 infection. Herein we overview capsid-host interactions implicated in HIV-1 ingress and discuss important research questions moving forward. Highlighting clinical relevance, the long-acting ultrapotent inhibitor lenacapavir, which engages the same capsid binding pocket as FG host factors, was recently approved to treat people living with HIV.

Abstract
Regulator of TElomere Length Helicase 1 (RTEL1) is a helicase required for telomere maintenance and genome replication and repair. RTEL1 has been previously shown to participate in the nuclear export of small nuclear RNAs. Here we show that RTEL1 deficiency leads to a nuclear envelope destabilization exclusively in cells entering S-phase and in direct connection to origin firing. We discovered that inhibiting protein import also leads to similar, albeit non-cell cycle-related, nuclear envelope disruptions. Remarkably, overexpression of wild-type RTEL1, or of its C-terminal part lacking the helicase domain, protects cells against nuclear envelope anomalies mediated by protein import inhibition. We identified distinct domains in the C-terminus of RTEL1 essential for the interaction with KPNB1 (importin β) and NUP153, respectively, and we demonstrated that, on its own, the latter domain can promote the dynamic nuclear internalization of peptides that freely diffuse through the nuclear pore. Consistent with putative functions exerted in protein import, RTEL1 can be visualized on both sides of the nuclear pore using high-resolution microscopy. In all, our work points to an unanticipated, helicase-independent, role of RTEL1 in connecting both nucleocytoplasmic trafficking and nuclear envelope integrity to genome replication initiation in S-phase.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has suggested that the HIV-1 capsid enters the nucleus in a largely assembled, intact form. However, not much is known about how the cone-shaped capsid interacts with the nucleoporins (NUPs) in the nuclear pore for crossing the nuclear pore complex. Here, we elucidate how NUP153 binds HIV-1 capsid by engaging the assembled capsid protein (CA) lattice. A bipartite motif containing both canonical and noncanonical interaction modules was identified at the C-terminal tail region of NUP153. The canonical cargo-targeting phenylalanine-glycine (FG) motif engaged the CA hexamer. By contrast, a previously unidentified triple-arginine (RRR) motif in NUP153 targeted HIV-1 capsid at the CA tri-hexamer interface in the capsid. HIV-1 infection studies indicated that both FG- and RRR-motifs were important for the nuclear import of HIV-1 cores. Moreover, the presence of NUP153 stabilized tubular CA assemblies in vitro. Our results provide molecular-level mechanistic evidence that NUP153 contributes to the entry of the intact capsid into the nucleus.

Abstract
The placenta has a unique hypomethylated genome. Due to this feature of the placenta, there is a potential possibility of using regulatory elements derived from retroviruses and retrotransposons, which are suppressed by DNA methylation in the adult body. In addition, there is an abnormal increase in the level of methylation of the LINE-1 retrotransposon in the chorionic trophoblast in spontaneous abortions with both normal karyotype and aneuploidy on different chromosomes, which may be associated with impaired gene transcription using LINE-1 regulatory elements. To date, 988 genes that can be expressed from alternative LINE-1 promoters have been identified. Using the STRING tool, genes (NUP153 and YWHAB) were selected, the products of which have significant functional relationships with proteins highly expressed in the placenta and involved in trophoblast differentiation. This study aimed to analyze the expression of the NUP153 and YWHAB genes, highly active in the placenta, from canonical and alternative LINE-1 promoters in the germinal part of the placenta of spontaneous and induced abortions. Gene expression analysis was performed using real-time PCR in chorionic villi and extraembryonic mesoderm of induced abortions (n = 10), adult lymphocytes (n = 10), spontaneous abortions with normal karyotype (n = 10), and with the most frequent aneuploidies in the first trimester of pregnancy (trisomy 16 (n = 8) and monosomy X (n = 6)). The LINE-1 methylation index was assessed in the chorionic villi of spontaneous abortions using targeted bisulfite massive parallel sequencing. The level of expression of both genes from canonical promoters was higher in blood lymphocytes than in placental tissues (p < 0.05). However, the expression level of the NUP153 gene from the alternative LINE-1 promoter was 17 times higher in chorionic villi and 23 times higher in extraembryonic mesoderm than in lymphocytes (p < 0.05). The expression level of NUP153 and YWHAB from canonical promoters was higher in the group of spontaneous abortions with monosomy X compared to all other groups (p <0.05). The LINE-1 methylation index negatively correlated with the level of gene expression from both canonical (NUP153 - R = -0.59, YWHAB - R = -0.52, p < 0.05) and alternative LINE-1 promoters (NUP153 - R = -0.46, YWHAB - R = -0.66, p < 0.05). Thus, the observed increase in the LINE-1 methylation index in the placenta of spontaneous abortions is associated with the level of expression of the NUP153 and YWHAB genes not only from alternative but also from canonical promoters, which can subsequently lead to negative consequences for normal embryogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Nucleoporin NUP153 (NUP153) is involved in the regulation of nuclear transportation, mitosis, and tumor progression in various cancer cells. we aimed to investigate the roles of NUP153 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS NUP153 expression level and its relationship with clinical prognosis were analyzed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), Western Blot (WB), and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to assess NUP153 expression in tissues and cell lines. Loss-of-function experiments were implemented for exploring the roles of NUP153 in HCC cells. Ultimately, how NUP153 exerted biological functions was plumbed by performing rescue assays in HCC. RESULTS NUP153 expressed highly in HCC tissues and cell lines. Silencing NUP153 inhibited cellular multiplication, G1/S transition, migration, and triggered cytoskeletal rearrangement of Huh7 and HepG2 cells. Knockdown NUP153 caused up-regulation of mRNA and protein levels of P15, and siRNA deprivation of P15 partially reversed the function of low-level NUP153 in HCC. Meanwhile, silencing NUP153 caused down-regulation of mRNA and protein levels of c-Myc. Furthermore, the up-regulation of P15 and cell G1/S phase arrest induced by silencing NUP153 were partially reversed by overexpression of c-Myc. CONCLUSIONS NUP153 increases the proliferation ability of cells via the c-Myc/P15 axis in HCC.

Abstract
The interaction between the HIV-1 capsid and human nucleoporin 153 (NUP153) is vital for delivering the HIV-1 preintegration complex into the nucleus via the nuclear pore complex. The interaction with the capsid requires a phenylalanine/glycine-containing motif in the C-terminus of NUP153 (NUP153C). This study used molecular modeling and biochemical assays to comprehensively determine the amino acids in NUP153 that are important for capsid interaction. Molecular dynamics, FoldX, and PyRosetta simulations delineated the minimal capsid binding motif of NUP153 based on the known structure of NUP153 bound to the HIV-1 capsid hexamer. Computational predictions were experimentally validated by testing the interaction of NUP153 with capsid using an in vitro binding assay and a cell-based TRIM-NUP153C restriction assay. This work identified eight amino acids from P1411 to G1418 that stably engage with capsid, with significant correlations between the interactions predicted by molecular models and empirical experiments. This validated the usefulness of this multidisciplinary approach to rapidly characterize the interaction between human proteins and the HIV-1 capsid. IMPORTANCE The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can infect nondividing cells by interacting with the host nuclear pore complex. The host nuclear pore protein NUP153 directly interacts with the HIV capsid to promote viral nuclear entry. This study used a multidisciplinary approach combining computational and experimental techniques to comprehensively map the effect of mutating the amino acids of NUP153 on HIV capsid interaction. This work showed a significant correlation between computational and empirical data sets, revealing that the HIV capsid interacted specifically with only six amino acids of NUP153. The simplicity of the interaction motif suggested other FG-containing motifs could also interact with the HIV-1 capsid. Furthermore, it was predicted that naturally occurring polymorphisms in human and nonhuman primates would disrupt NUP153 interaction with capsid, potentially protecting certain populations from HIV-1 infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nucleoporin NUP153 (NUP153) is well known to be involved in the regulating of nuclear transport. Although NUP153 is associated with several cancers, its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) and the underlying mechanism are still unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to access the effect of NUP153 on the prognosis of patients with CRC, and cancer cell proliferation. METHODS The expression levels of NUP153 in CRC tissues and matched normal colon tissues were examined by real-time quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. Then the association between NUP153 levels with clinical variables as well as survival time was investigated. Moreover, overexpression of NUP153 in HCT116 cells was established to study its influence on cell proliferation in vitro, and a xenograft model was performed to explore this effect in vivo. RESULTS We found that NUP153 was highly expressed in adjacent normal tissues than in cancer tissues, and elevated NUP153 expression was negatively associated with pathological grade (P= 0.015), T stage (P= 0.048) and distant metastasis (P= 0.006). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with higher NUP153 expression had a longer overall survival (OS) (P= 0.01) and recurrence free disease (RFS) (P= 0.001). Logistic regression analysis further identified NUP153 as an independent prognostic safe factor for OS and recurrence. Moreover, NUP153 overexpression suppressed CRC cells proliferation and inhibited tumor growth in a xenograft model. Its mechanistic investigations showed that NUP153 overexpression inhibited β-catenin transcriptional activity and down-regulated the mRNA expression levels of Wnt downstream proteins-Axin2, cyclinD1, c-myc and lef-1. CONCLUSIONS NUP153 might be a promising prognostic factor, a potential tumor suppressor and therapeutic target in human CRC through an interaction with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract
The nuclear lamina is essential for the proper structure and organization of the nucleus. Deregulation of A-type lamins can compromise genomic stability, alter chromatin organization and cause premature vascular aging. Here, we show that accumulation of the lamin A precursor, prelamin A, inhibits 53BP1 recruitment to sites of DNA damage and increases basal levels of DNA damage in aged vascular smooth muscle cells. We identify that this genome instability arises through defective nuclear import of 53BP1 as a consequence of abnormal topological arrangement of nucleoporin NUP153. We show for the first time that this nucleoporin is important for the nuclear localization of Ran and that the deregulated Ran gradient is likely to be compromising the nuclear import of 53BP1. Importantly, many of the defects associated with prelamin A expression were significantly reduced upon treatment with Remodelin, a small molecule recently reported to reverse deficiencies associated with abnormal nuclear lamina.

Abstract
R-(-)-β-O-methylsynephrine (OMe-Syn) is a naturally occurring small molecule that was identified in a previous screen as an inhibitor of angiogenesis. In this study, we conducted two animal model experiments to investigate the in vivo antiangiogenic activity of OMe-Syn. OMe-Syn significantly inhibited angiogenesis in a transgenic zebrafish model as well as in a mouse retinopathy model. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms responsible for the antiangiogenic activity of OMe-Syn, we used phage display cloning to isolate potential OMe-Syn binding proteins from human cDNA libraries and identified nucleoporin 153 kDa (NUP153) as a primary binding partner of OMe-Syn. OMe-Syn competitively inhibited mRNA binding to the RNA-binding domain of NUP153. Furthermore, depletion of NUP153 in human cells or zebrafish embryos led to an inhibition of angiogenesis, in a manner similar to that seen in response to OMe-Syn treatment. These data suggest that OMe-Syn is a promising candidate for the development of a novel antiangiogenic agent and that inhibition of NUP153 is possibly responsible for the antiangiogenic activity of OMe-Syn.

Abstract
The ability to traverse an intact nuclear envelope and productively infect non-dividing cells is a salient feature of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other lentiviruses, but the viral factors and mechanism of nuclear entry have not been defined. We have recently reported a functional role for the nucleoporin NUP153 in the nuclear import of the HIV-1 preintegration complex (PIC). Our findings suggest that HIV-1 sub-viral particles gain access to the nucleus by interacting directly with the nuclear pore complex (NPC) via the binding of PIC-associated integrase (IN) to the C-terminal domain of NUP153. This article discusses how NPC conformation and constitution might influence nuclear import of the PIC, and the subsequent integration of the viral cDNA into actively transcribed genes.
