  1. HIV susceptibility and CCR5 Anna-Lisa Doebley Final Presentation May 6th 2014

  2. The HIV/AIDS epidemic 35.3 Million Total

  3. The only person who has been cured of HIV: How?

  4. What is the HIV virus? Blood Borne Pathogen Infects Immune cells Causes AIDS if not treated

  5. CCR5 is a gene associated with AIDS resistance Human 352aa 7 tm_1 352aa Cellular component:Biological process:Molecular function: Plasma membrane Cell communication Chemokine binding Chemokine

  6. CCR5 is well conserved across vertebrates Human 352aa 7 tm_1 Chimpanzee 352aa 99% 7 tm_1 Orangutan 352aa 99% 7 tm_1 Gorilla 352aa 99% 7 tm_1 354aa 82% Mouse 7 tm_1 355aa 62% Chicken 7 tm_1 Zebrafish 358aa 42% 7 tm_1

  7. What is the function of CCR5 in HIV infection? HIV Virus CCR5 Host Cell

  8. HIV binds CCR5 HIV Virus Host Cell CCR5

  9. HIV enters the cell Host Cell

  10. CCR5 alleles can block HIV infection Human Wild Type 7 tm_1 352aa Human Δ32 CCR5 Δ32 allele: 32 bp deletion results in a frame shift and stop codon 7 tm_1 215aa (31 after frame shift)

  11. CCR5 alleles can block HIV infection WT CCR5 HIV CCR5 Δ32aaa a HIV

  12. Where did HIV come from? SIV HIV SIVs do not cause AIDS… Why?

  13. HIV does not cause AIDS in chimpanzees WT CCR5 SIV WT CCR5 HIV

  14. Why don’t SIVs cause AIDS? Goal: understand how non-human primates are able to combat SIV/HIV infection Hypothesis: sequence similarities between human AIDS-resistant CCR5 alleles and primate CCR5 alleles may help explain AIDS resistance

  15. Aim 1: Determine which regions of CCR5 are conserved in non-human primates Human 352aa 7 tm_1 Chimpanzee 352aa 99% 7 tm_1 Orangutan 352aa 99% 7 tm_1 Gorilla 352aa 99% 7 tm_1

  16. Approach: Determine which regions of CCR5 are conserved in non-human primates VandeWoude and Apetrei, 2006 34 species of primates infected with SIVs (3 progress to AIDS) 22 sequences available

  17. CCR5 amino acid substitutions in AIDS resistant Primates 7 tm_1 Each blue bar represents an amino acid that is different between different species of primates

  18. Aim 2: determine if primate CCR5 alleles are similar to AIDS-resistant human CCR5 alleles. Carrington et al. 1999 9 CCR5 sequences (3 believed to be AIDS resistant) **deletion alleles not included Combine data with Primate sequences

  19. AIDS susceptible allele AIDS resistant allele

  20. CCR5 amino acid substitutions 7 tm_1 Resistant Susceptible What is in these regions?

  21. Aim 3: Determine if particular protein domains are found in the non-conserved regions of CCR5

  22. CCR5 amino acid substitutions affect areas outside of transmembrane domains 7 tm_1 Transmembrane domains

  23. Future directions Sequence the 5’ and 3’ UTRs of primate CCR5 genes Study the sequences of CCR5 genes in other species that are affected by immunodeficiency viruses
