[Toward an unpublished method of detecting human retroviruses: activation of HIV-1 LacZ recombinant provirus by the tat gene product].

Abstract

Chez certains rétrovirus, le niveau de synthèse des protéines virales est fortement augmenté par l'expression de gènes régulateurs. Ainsi pour HIV, la protéine TAT correspond à un activateur codé par le virus qui agit sur des séquences cibles présentes dans la longue terminaison répétée (LTR). Des rétrovirus recombinants HIV-1 où les gènes gag, pol et une partie du gène env ont été remplacés par le gène témoin nlsLacZ ont été construits. Ils n'expriment alors le gène témoinqu'en présence de TAT. Si le rétrovirus recombinant est défectif pour tat, cette activité peut lui êtreconférée par un second plasmide le portant. L'expression de nlsLacZ peut alors être détectée dans les cellules individuelles par une méthode histochimique simple. Si cette complémentation peut être aussi obtenue par un rétrovirus sauvage, alors la détection et le titrage de ceux-ci s'en trouveront simplifiés.

For a few of retroviruses, the level of synthesis of viral proteins is greatly increased in the presence of a transactivator gene which is encoded by the virus. For instance, for HIV, TAT acts on target sequences present in the viral long terminal repeat (LTR). HIV-1 recombinant retrovirus (RRV), where the gag, pol and part of env genes have been exchanged for the reporter nlsLacZ gene, expresses the reporter gene only in presence of TAT. When the RRV is tat defective, this activity can be complemented by tat present on a second molecule. The expression of nlsLacZ can then be detected by a simple histochemical staining. If this complementation can also be provided by a wild type virus, then their detection and titration would be greatly simplified.
