ABSTRACT
At each stage of the HIV life cycle, host cellular proteins are hijacked by the virus to establish and enhance infection. We adapted the virus packageable HIV-CRISPR screening technology at a genome-wide scale to comprehensively identify host factors that affect HIV replication in a human T cell line. Using a smaller, targeted HIV Dependency Factor (HIVDEP) sublibrary, we then performed screens across HIV strains representing different clades and with different biological properties to define which T cell host factors are important across multiple HIV strains. Nearly 90% of the genes selected across various host pathways validated in subsequent assays as bona fide host dependency factors, including numerous proteins not previously reported to play roles in HIV biology, such as UBE2M, MBNL1, FBXW7, PELP1, SLC39A7, and others. Our ranked list of screen hits across diverse HIV-1 strains form a resource of HIV dependency factors for future investigation of host proteins involved in HIV biology. IMPORTANCE With a small genome of ~9.2 kb that encodes 14 major proteins, HIV must hijack host cellular machinery to successfully establish infection. These host proteins necessary for HIV replication are called "dependency factors." Whole-genome, and then targeted screens were done to try to comprehensively identify all dependency factors acting throughout the HIV replication cycle. Many host processes were identified and validated as critical for HIV replication across multiple HIV strains.
