The proteasomal system consists of a proteolytic core, the 20 S proteasome, which associates in an ATP-dependent reaction with the 19 S regulatory complex to form the functional 26 S proteasome. In the absence of ATP, the 20 S proteasome forms a complex with the gamma-interferon-inducible 11 S regulator. Both the 20 S proteasome and the 11 S regulator have been implied in the generation of antigenic peptides. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 Tat protein causes a number of different effects during acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Here we show that HIV-1 Tat protein strongly inhibits the peptidase activity of the 20 S proteasome and that it interferes with formation of the 20 S proteasome-11 S regulator complex. In addition, it slightly increases the activity of purified 26 S proteasome. These results may explain the mechanism by which HIV-1-infected cells escape cytotoxic T lymphocyte response and at least in part immunodeficiency in AIDS patients.
