Primate lentiviruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to suppress the immune
response of their host species. For example, HIV-2 and most simian
immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) use their accessory protein Nef to prevent T cell
activation and antiviral gene expression by downmodulating the T cell receptor
CD3. This Nef function was lost in HIV-1 and other vpu-encoding viruses
suggesting that the acquisition of Vpu-mediated NF-?B inhibition reduced the
selection pressure for inhibition of T cell activation by Nef. To obtain further
insights into the modulation of NF-?B activity by primate lentiviral accessory
factors, we analyzed 32 Vpr proteins from a large panel of divergent primate
lentiviruses. We found that those of SIVcol and SIVolc infecting Colobinae
monkeys showed the highest efficacy in suppressing NF-?B activation. Vpr-mediated
inhibition of NF-?B resulted in decreased IFN? promoter activity and suppressed
type I IFN induction in virally infected primary cells. Interestingly, SIVcol and
SIVolc differ from all other primate lentiviruses investigated by the lack of
both, a vpu gene and efficient Nef-mediated downmodulation of CD3. Thus, primate
lentiviruses have evolved at least three alternative strategies to inhibit
NF-?B-dependent immune activation. Functional analyses showed that the inhibitory
activity of SIVolc and SIVcol Vprs is independent of DCAF1 and the induction of
cell cycle arrest. While both Vprs target the IKK complex or a factor further
downstream in the NF-?B signaling cascade, only SIVolc Vpr stabilizes I?B? and
inhibits p65 phosphorylation. Notably, only de-novo synthesized but not
virion-associated Vpr suppressed the activation of NF-?B, thus enabling
NF-?B-dependent initiation of viral gene transcription during early stages of the
replication cycle, while minimizing antiviral gene expression at later stages.
Our findings highlight the key role of NF-?B in antiviral immunity and
demonstrate that primate lentiviruses follow distinct evolutionary paths to
modulate NF-?B-dependent expression of viral and antiviral genes.
