Abstract:Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN) is an important drug target for anti-acquired immune deficiency disease (AIDS) treatment and diketo-acid (DKA) inhibitors are potent and selective inhibitors of HIV-1 IN. Due to lack of three-dimensional structures including detail interactions between HIV-1 IN and its substrate viral DNA, the drug design and screening platform remains incompleteness and deficient. In addition, the action mechanism of DKA inhibitors with HIV-1 IN is not well understood. In view of the high homology between the structure of prototype foamy virus (PFV) IN and that of HIV-1 IN, we used PFV IN as a surrogate model for HIV-1 IN to investigate the inhibitory mechanism of raltegravir (RLV) and the binding modes with a series of DKA inhibitors. Firstly, molecular dynamics simulations of PFV IN, IN-RLV, IN-DNA, and IN-DNA-RLV systems were performed for 10?ns each. The interactions and inhibitory mechanism of RLV to PFV IN were explored through overall dynamics behaviors, catalytic loop conformation distribution, and hydrogen bond network analysis. The results show that the coordinated interactions of RLV with IN and viral DNA slightly reduce the flexibility of catalytic loop region of IN, and remarkably restrict the mobility of the CA end of viral DNA, which may lead to the partial loss of the inhibitory activity of IN. Then, we docked a series of DKA inhibitors into PFV IN-DNA receptor and obtained the IN-DNA-inhibitor complexes. The docking results between PFV IN-DNA and DKA inhibitors agree well with the corresponding complex of HIV-1 IN, which proves the dependability of PFV IN-DNA used for the anti-AIDS drug screening. Our study may help to make clear some theoretical questions and to design anti-AIDS drug based on the structure of IN.
