Abstract excerpt
The early human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) accessory protein Nef makes an important contribution to virulence, but the mechanisms by which Nef influences pathogenesis remain unclear. Many well-studied effects of Nef, like CD4 and class I MHC downregulation, occur posttranslationally. However, Nef has the potential to affect gene expression by interfering with cell signaling pathways and by virtue of structural...
