Abstract excerpt
The Nef protein from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) induces CD4 cell surface downregulation by interfering with the endocytic machinery. It has been recently proposed that binding of HIV type 1 Nef to the beta subunit of COPI coatomers participated in the Nef-induced CD4 downregulation through recognition of a novel diacidic motif found in the C-terminal disordered loop of Nef (V. Piguet, F. Gu, M. Foti,...
