The Vif protein of HIV-1 allows virus replication by degrading several members of the host-encoded APOBEC3 family of DNA cytosine deaminases. Polymorphisms in both host APOBEC3 genes and the viral vif gene have the potential to impact the extent of virus replication among individuals. The most genetically diverse of the seven human APOBEC3 genes is APOBEC3H with seven known haplotypes. Overexpression studies have shown that a subset of these variants express stable and active proteins, whereas the others encode proteins with a short half-life and little, if any, antiviral activity. We demonstrate that these stable/unstable phenotypes are an intrinsic property of endogenous APOBEC3H proteins in primary CD4+ T lymphocytes and confer differential resistance to HIV-1 infection in a manner that depends on natural variation in the Vif protein of the infecting virus. HIV-1 with a Vif protein hypo-functional for APOBEC3H degradation, yet fully able to counteract APOBEC3D, APOBEC3F, and APOBEC3G, was susceptible to restriction and hypermutation in stable APOBEC3H expressing lymphocytes, but not in unstable APOBEC3H expressing lymphocytes. In contrast, HIV-1 with hyper-functional Vif counteracted stable APOBEC3H proteins as well as all other endogenous APOBEC3s and replicated to high levels. We also found that APOBEC3H protein levels are induced over 10-fold by infection. Finally, we found that the global distribution of stable/unstable APOBEC3H haplotypes correlates with the distribution a critical hyper/hypo-functional Vif amino acid residue. These data combine to strongly suggest that stable APOBEC3H haplotypes present as in vivo barriers to HIV-1 replication, that Vif is capable of adapting to these restrictive pressures, and that an evolutionary equilibrium has yet to be reached. The APOBEC3 enzymes protect cells by inhibiting the spread of retroelements, including HIV-1, by blocking reverse transcription and mutating cytosines in single-stranded DNA replication intermediates. HIV-1 Vif counteracts restriction by marking APOBEC3 proteins for proteasomal degradation. APOBEC3H is the most diverse member of this protein family. Humans have seven distinct APOBEC3H haplotypes with three producing stable and four producing unstable proteins upon forced overexpression. Here, we examine the stability phenotype of endogenous APOBEC3H in donors with different haplotypes and address how these stability differences, as well as natural viral diversity, combine to determine HIV-1 infectivity. We found that endogenous APOBEC3H haplotypes yield stable or unstable proteins and that stable APOBEC3H is induced during viral infection and restricts the replication of isolates with naturally occurring hypo-functional but not hyper-functional Vif alleles. We also found that the global distribution of stable APOBEC3H alleles correlates with the prevalence of HIV-1 Vif alleles capable of mediating its degradation, strongly suggesting that the viral Vif protein is capable of adapting to the APOBEC3H restriction potential of an infected individual. Thus, the combination of human APOBEC3H haplotypes and virus Vif alleles may help account for some of the observed disparities in disease progression and virus transmission.
