Abstract

After 33 years of the identification of HIV-1 infection, very little is known about the role of host cellular proteins. Till now considerable work has been done in the area of host- pathogen interactions facilitated by the viral proteins and host receptors. The role of the main receptor CD4 and co-receptors like CCR5, CXCR4 and their alternative receptors were well studied in disease progression. But the intracellular events during the host- pathogen interactions were poorly understood. Much data is available based on the global analysis of genome-wide RNA interference screens, yeast two-hybrid system and co-immunoprecipitation studies but their exact roles are not yet characterized. There are very few host proteins like APOBEC3G, LEDGF/p75, INI1, HMG I(Y), BAF which are well studied and characterized. Majority of the reported proteins are attributed to multiple functions. It will be useful to study such proteins to develop as future candidates in HIV-1 therapeutics.
