Macrophage Tropism of HIV-1 Depends on Efficient Cellular dNTP Utilization by Reverse Transcriptase

Retroviruses utilize cellular dNTPs to perform proviral DNA synthesis in infected host cells. Unlike oncoretroviruses, which replicate in dividing cells, lentiviruses, such as human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and simian immunodeficiency virus, are capable of efficiently replicating in non-dividing cells (terminally differentiated macrophages) as well as dividing cells (i.e. activated CD4+ T cells). In general, non-dividing cells are likely to have low cellular dNTP content compared with dividing cells. Here, by employing a novel assay cellular dNTP dNTP in cells, and activated CD4+ T cells. human dNTP activated human CD4+ T cells. efficiently DNA in of low dNTP to in In with which to human activated CD4+ T cells and dividing cells. of to which to of in of to efficiently DNA synthesis in cellular dNTP Retroviruses utilize cellular dNTPs to perform proviral DNA synthesis in infected host cells.
