Genome-wide siRNA screens have identified host cell factors important for efficient HIV infection, among which are nuclear pore proteins such as RanBP2/Nup358 and the karyopherin Transportin-3/TNPO3. Analysis of the roles of these proteins in the HIV replication cycle suggested that correct trafficking through the pore may facilitate the subsequent integration step. Here we present data for coupling between these steps by demonstrating that depletion of Transportin-3 or RanBP2 altered the terminal step in early HIV replication, the selection of chromosomal sites for integration. We found that depletion of Transportin-3 and RanBP2 altered integration targeting for HIV. These knockdowns reduced HIV integration frequency in gene-dense regions and near gene-associated features, a pattern that differed from that reported for depletion of the HIV integrase binding cofactor Psip1/Ledgf/p75. MLV integration was not affected by the Transportin-3 knockdown. Using siRNA knockdowns and integration targeting analysis, we also implicated several additional nuclear proteins in proper target site selection. To map viral determinants of integration targeting, we analyzed a chimeric HIV derivative containing MLV gag, and found that the gag replacement phenocopied the Transportin-3 and RanBP2 knockdowns. Thus, our data support a model in which Gag-dependent engagement of the proper transport and nuclear pore machinery mediate trafficking of HIV complexes to sites of integration. HIV continues to be responsible for approximately two million deaths worldwide each year. As part of the viral replication cycle, the viral cDNA is transported through the nuclear pore into the nucleus where it integrates into the host cell genome. HIV integrates non-randomly, likely choosing integration sites within the host chromosomes that best enable the viral genes to be expressed and, ultimately, progeny virus to be produced. HIV uses host factors to guide its selection of integration sites. Here we demonstrate that components of the nuclear trafficking and nuclear pore machinery are required for HIV to achieve its normal pattern of integration sites. This finding suggests that passage of the virus through the nuclear pore into the nucleus is coupled to downstream integration events and enables the virus to achieve its final position within the host genome. Our study provides new insights into two important steps of the HIV replication cycle and suggests possible new targets for anti-retroviral drugs.
