HIV-1 virions sequestered within rhTRIM5α cytoplasmic bodies after proteasome inhibition contain p24CA protein. (A and B) HeLa cells stably expressing HA-tagged rhTRIM5α were spinoculated with VSV-G–pseudotyped HIVFCM containing FlAsH-labeled capsid and mCherry-Vpr for 2 h at 17°C. Unbound virus was removed and replaced with media, and cells were incubated for 6 h at 37°C in the presence of MG132. Cells were then fixed, stained with an HA-specific antibody, and analyzed by fluorescent microscopy to determine the total number of mCherry-Vpr+ virions/cell and the percentage of virions that associated with rhTRIM5α signal (B). (C) The fluorescent FlAsH intensity of mCherry-Vpr virions associated with rhTRIM5α signal in the MG132-treated sample was compared with the intensity of virions observed in the untreated and BafA infections. The mean FlAsH intensity of each population is indicated by black bars. (D) HIVFCM particles positive for both FlAsH-labeled capsid (green) and mCherry-Vpr (red) within rhTRIM5α cytoplasmic bodies (blue).
