Membrane Interference Against HIV-1 by Intrinsic Antiviral Factors: The Case of IFITMs

Résumé

HIV-1 is a complex retrovirus that is adapted to replicate in cells of the immune system. To do so, HIV-1, like other viruses, developed strategies to use several cellular processes to its advantage, but had also to come to terms with an arsenal of cellular innate defense proteins, or antiviral factors, that target more or less efficiently, virtually every step of the virus replicative cycle. Among antiviral restriction factors, the family of interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITMs) has emerged as a crucial component of cellular innate defenses for their ability to interfere with both early and late phases of viral replication by inhibiting cellular and viral membranes fusion. Here, we review the enormous advances made since the discovery of IFITMs as interferon-regulated genes more than thirty years ago, with a particular focus on HIV-1 and on the elements that modulate its susceptibility or resistance towards members of this family. Given the recent advances of the field in the elucidation of the mechanism of IFITM inhibition and on the mechanism(s) of viral resistance, we expect that future years will bring novel insights into the definition of the multiple facets of IFITMs and on their possible use for novel therapeutical approaches.
