HIV-1modifies cytoskeletal organization and dynamics by acting on associated adaptors and molecularmotors to productively fuse, enter, and infect cells and then traffic to the cell surface, where virionsassemble and are released to spread infection. The HIV-1 envelope (Env) initiates the cycle by bindingto and signaling through its main cell surface receptors (CD4/CCR5/CXCR4) to shape the cytoskeleton for fusion pore formation, which permits viral core entry. Then, the HIV-1 capsid is transportedto the nucleus associated with cytoskeleton tracks under the control of specific adaptors/molecularmotors, as well as HIV-1 accessory proteins. Furthermore, HIV-1 drives the late stages of the viralcycle by regulating cytoskeleton dynamics to assure viral Pr55Gag expression and transport to the cellsurface, where it assembles and buds to mature infectious virions. In this review, we therefore analyzehow HIV-1 generates a cell-permissive state to infection by regulating the cytoskeleton and associatedfactors. Likewise, we discuss the relevance of this knowledge to understand HIV-1 infection andpathogenesis in patients and to develop therapeutic strategies to battle HIV-1.
