Here, we have analyzed the involvement of the PI3K kinases, ATM, ATR, and DNA-PKcs, which are important players in the DNA damage response (DDR) in HIV-1 post-integrational DNA repair (PIR). The participation of the DNA-PK complex in HIV-1 PIR has been previously shown, and the formation of a complex between the viral integrase and the DNA-PK subunit, Ku70, has been found to be crucial for efficient PIR. Now, we have shown that the inhibition of both DNA-PKcs and ATM, but not ATR, significantly reduces PIR efficiency. The activation of both kinases is a sequential process, where one kinase, being activated, activates the other, and it occurs simultaneously with the integration of viral DNA. This fact suggests that the activation of both kinases triggers PIR. Most interestingly, the activation of not only DNA-PKcs, but also ATM depends on the complex formation between integrase and Ku70. The elucidation of the interactions between viruses and DDR is important both for understanding the modulation of host cell functions by these pathogens and for developing new approaches to combat viral infections.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24032797","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,2]],"date-time":"2023-02-02T02:21:12Z","timestamp":1675304472000},"page":"2797","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Both ATM and DNA-PK Are the Main Regulators of HIV-1 Post-Integrational DNA Repair"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0590-5880","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrey","family":"Anisenko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Department, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119992 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Faculty of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119992 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119992 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anastasiia","family":"Nefedova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119992 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yulia","family":"Agapkina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Department, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119992 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119992 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4613-5096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marina","family":"Gottikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chemistry Department, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119992 Moscow, Russia"},{"name":"Belozersky Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology, Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119992 Moscow, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Viral vectors: A look back and ahead on gene transfer technology","volume":"36","author":"Vannucci","year":"2013","journal-title":"New Microbiol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1529","DOI":"10.1038\/s41375-018-0106-0","article-title":"Clinical use of lentiviral vectors","volume":"32","author":"Milone","year":"2018","journal-title":"Leukemia"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"113324","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopha.2022.113324","article-title":"Gene therapy clinical trials, where do we go?
