HIV Envelope-CXCR4 Signaling Activates Cofilin to Overcome Cortical Actin Restriction in Resting CD4 T Cells

Abstract: SUMMARY Binding of the HIV envelope to the chemokine coreceptors triggers membrane fusion and signal transduction. The fusion process has been well characterized, yet the role of coreceptor signaling remains elusive. Here we describe a critical function of the chemokine coreceptor signaling in facilitating HIV infection of resting CD4 T cells. We find that static cortical actin in resting T cells represents a restriction, and HIV utilizes the Gαi-dependent signaling from the chemokine coreceptor CXCR4 to activ… Show more

“…One of the earliest events in HIV-1 NL4-3 infection is CXCR4-mediated activation of LIMK1 and cofilin phosphorylation; these events increase cortical actin dynamics in resting CD4 + T cells (27,32), a process that might require CXCR4 dimerization (53). Our data confirm these observations, because we detected rapid gp120 IIIB -mediated actin polymerization following transient LIMK1 activation and cofilin inactivation.…”

“…gp120-triggered actin polymerization involves transient LIMK1 activation, which phosphorylates and, thus, inactivates the actin depolymerization factor cofilin (27,32). Cofilin phosphorylation by LIMK1 is also critical for CXCL12-induced actin reorganization and chemotactic responses in T lymphocytes (29).…”

“…More recently, Env was found to trigger actin rearrangement through G␣ i -mediated CXCR4 signaling or G␣ q -mediated CCR5 signaling. These events were shown to be critical at both entry and postentry stages of HIV-1 replication, particularly in resting T cells (20)(21)(22)(23). We have obtained evidence that CCR5 exists in multiple cell surface conformations that differ in their antigenicity, i.e., their reactivity with specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) (24).…”

“…The mammalian cofilin-1 is the most ubiquitous and involved in viral infection. HIV-1 inactivates cofilin to optimize immune evasion, replication, release, and cell-cell transmission [19,20,21]. We have previously reported that cofilin-1 play a crucial role in mediating biphasic F-actin dynamics to facilitate HSV-1 infection and replication [22,23].…”
