Plasma membrane proteomic profile discovers macrophage-capping protein related to latent HIV-1. Curr HIV Res. 2019 May 06;: Authors: Zhang Y, Shen Y, Yin L, Qi T, Jia X, Lu H, Zhang L Abstract BACKGROUND: Due to the persistence of latent HIV-infected cellular reservoirs, HIV virus can not be eradicated completely. OBJECTIVE: To identify proteins related to HIV latency, we performed a subcellular proteomic study in HIV latent cell lines. METHOD: An established HIV-1 latent cell model (J-Lat Tat-GFP Clone A7 cells, A7 cells) and its parental cell line (Jurkat cells) was used. The plasma membrane (PM) fraction from cultured cells was enriched through aqueous two-phase partition. PM proteins were extracted and then separated using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE). Differentially expressed proteins were identified by mass spectrometry, and verified by western blotting. RESULTS: Thirteen non-redundant proteins were identified to be differentially expressed in the A7 PM fraction compared to those in the Jurkat PM. Eight had a PM location through Gene Ontology (GO) analysis. A differential protein network of CAPG-ACTR3-CD3D was detected to have interactions with HIV Vpr, Tat, gp160, etc through STRING software analysis. One of the differential proteins (Macrophage-capping protein (CAPG)) was verified by western blotting to be down- regulated in two cell lines and HIV resting CD4+ T cells negatively selected from ...
