Figure Legend Snippet: Inhibition of HIV-1 infection by TNPO3-depleted cells requires expression of CPSF6. HeLa TNPO3 K.D. and shRNA control human HeLa cells were transfected with a specific siRNA against CPSF6, a non-target siRNA, or left untreated. Forthy-eight hours after transfection, cells were lysed, and the expression levels of CPSF6 and TNPO3 were monitored by Western blot using antibodies against CPSF6and TNPO3, respectively ( A ). As a loading control, cell lysates were Western blotted against GAPDH. Fluorescence quantification revealed a 20 and 18 fold reduction in the expression of CPSF6 when using siRNA against CPSF6 in shRNA and TNPO3 K.D. cells, respectively. TNPO3 K.D. and shRNA control cells were challenged with increasing amounts of HIV-1 or HIV-1-N74D expressing GFP as a reporter for infection ( B ). Viruses were normalized by quantifying the particle-associated reverse transcriptase activity on viral supernatants, as described in Methods. Infectivity was determined forty-eight hours post-infection by measuring the percentage of GFP-positive cells using a flow cytometer. Similar results were obtained in three independent experiments and a representative experiment is shown.

Figure Legend Snippet: Binding of endogenously expressed CPSF6 to in vitro assembled HIV-1 CA-NC complexes. ( A ) Cellular extracts from human 293T cells were incubated with wild type or mutant (N74D) in vitro assembled HIV-1 CA-NC complexes for 1 h. Samples were subsequently applied onto 70% sucrose cushion and centrifuged, as described in Methods. A small fraction of each lysate was collected before centrifugation and analyzed by Western Blotting using anti-CPSF6 antibodies ( INPUT ). Pelleted fractions ( BOUND ) were analyzed for the presence of CPSF6 and HIV-1capsid (p24) by Western blotting using anti-CPSF6 and anti-p24 antibodies, respectively. ( B , C ) The ability of endogenously expressed CPSF6 from human 293T cells to bind in vitro assembled HIV-1 CA-NC complexes was measured in the presence of the small molecule PF74 (PF-3450074). ( D ) The ability of the restriction factor TRIMCyp to bind in vitro assembled HIV-1 CA-NC in the presence of PF74. ( E ) Similarly, we measured the ability of endogenously expressed CPSF6 from TNPO3 K.D. and shRNA control HeLa cells to bind in vitro assembled HIV-1 CA-NC complexes. ( F ) HeLa cells stably expressing the nuclearly localized CPSF6 and the cytoplasmicly localized NES-CPSF6 were lysed in capsid binding buffer (10 mM Tris pH 7.4, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM KCl, 0.5 mM DTT) or whole cell extract buffer (50 mM Tris pH 8, 2 mM MgCl 2 , 280 mM NaCl, 0.5% NP-40,10% Glycerol). Extracts were analyzed by Western blotting using antibodies against FLAG. As a control, we blotted extracts using antibodies against the nuclear marker β-laminin. Similar results were obtained in three independent experiments and a representative experiment is shown.

Figure Legend Snippet: Depletion of TNPO3 does not change the localization of CPSF6. ( A ) TNPO3 K.D. and shRNA control HeLa cells were fixed and stained using specific antibodies against CPSF6 (red), ASF/SF2 (red) and TNPO3 (green), as described in Methods. The nuclear compartment was labeled using DAPI. Image quantification is shown in Additional file . ( B ) TNPO3 K.D. and shRNA control HeLa cells were transiently transfected using constructs expressing FLAG-tagged CPSF6 or ASF/SF2. Twenty-four hours post-transfection cells were fixed and immunostained using anti-FLAG antibodies. The nuclear compartment was labeled using DAPI. Image quantification is shown in Additional file . Similar results were obtained in three independent experiments and a representative experiment is shown.

Figure Legend Snippet: Expression of a cytosolic full-length CPSF6. ( A ) The wild type CPSF6 (NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_008938.2) protein with a C-terminal FLAG epitope is depicted on top. The numbers of the amino acid residues at the boundaries of the different domains are indicated (RRM: RNA recognition motive, Pro-rich: Proline-rich domain, RS: Arginine/Serine repeats). The HIV-1 capsid binding region is shown (residues 277-285). The nuclear export signal of the protein kinase inhibitor α (NES-PKIα). The amino acid sequence of NES-PKIα is NELALKLAGLDI. The NES-PKIα was fused to the N-terminus of CPSF6. ( B ) Cf2Th cells stably transduced with the different CPSF6 variants were analyzed for expression by Western blotting using anti-FLAG antibodies. As a loading control, cell lysates were Western blotted against β-actin. ( C ) Intracellular distribution of the different CPSF6 variants stably expressed in Cf2Th was studied by immunofluorescence microscopy, as described in Methods. The different CPSF6 variants were stained using anti-FLAG antibodies (red). The cellular nuclei were stained by using DAPI (blue). Image quantification is shown in Additional file . ( D ) The ability of the different CPSF6 variants to bind in vitro assembled HIV-1 CA-NC complexes was measured. 293T cells were transfected with plasmids expressing the indicated CPSF6 variants. Thirty-six hours after transfection, cells were lysed. The lysates were incubated at room temperature for 1hour with in vitro assembled HIV-1 CA-NC complexes. The mixtures were applied to a 70% sucrose cushion and centrifuged. INPUT represents the lysates analyzed by Western blotting before being applied to the 70% sucrose cushion. The input mixtures were Western blotted using anti-FLAG antibodies. The pellet from the 70% sucrose cushion ( BOUND ) was analyzed by Western blotting using anti-FLAG and anti-p24.

Figure Legend Snippet: Cytosolic CPSF6 expressed in Cf2Th cells restricts HIV-1 replication before or at the nuclear import step. ( A ) Cf2Th cells stably expressing the indicated CPSF6 constructs were challenged with HIV-1 or HIV-1-N74D expressing GFP as a reporter. Forty-eight hours post-infection the percentage of GFP-positive cells was determined by flow cytometry. As control, Cf2Th cells stably transduced with the empty vector pLPCX were challenged with HIV-1 and HIV-1-N74D. ( B ) Cf2Th cells stably expressing CPSF6 and NES-CPSF6 were challenged with the indicted viruses. Infection was determined by measuring the percentage of GFP-positive cells by flow cytometry 48 hours post-infection (upper panel). In parallel, cells from similar infections were lysed at 7 or 24 hours post-infection and total DNA was extracted. The DNA samples collected at 7 hours post-infection were used to determine the levels of late reverse transcripts by real-time PCR (middle panel). Separately, DNA samples collected at 24 hours post-infection were used to quantify HIV-1 2-LTR circles by real-time PCR in DNA (lower panel). Mock refers to control cells that were not infected. ( C ) Cf2Th cells stably expressing the different CPSF6 variants were challenged with HIV-2, SIVmac, FIV, BIV, EIAV or N-MLV. As control, Cf2Th cells stably transduced with the empty vector pLPCX were challenged with HIV-2, SIVmac, FIV, BIV, EIAV or N-MLV. Infectivity by the different viruses was determined by measuring the percentage of GFP-positive 48 hours post-infection. ( D ) Cf2Th cells stably expressing the indicated CPSF6 variant or TRIM5α rh were challenged using similar amounts of HIV-1, and performed the fate of the capsid assay to separate pelletable from soluble cytosolic capsids 16 hours post-infection as described in Methods. Input, soluble and pellet fractions were analyzed by Western blotting using antibodies against HIV-1 CA p24. Similar results were obtained in three independent experiments and a representative experiments is shown.
