Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection of most human cells is dependent on cyclophilin A (CypA); however, the opposite phenomenon, known as CypA-dependent inhibition, is also observed in the combination of some capsid (CA) mutations and cell lines. Here, we identified a CA N121K mutant whose infection of 293T, Jurkat, and HeLa cells was impaired by CypA. The N121K mutant could be a useful tool for analyzing the mechanisms underlying CypA-dependent restriction.
