Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Nef Binds to Tumor Suppressor p53 and Protects Cells against p53-Mediated Apoptosis
15 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
The nef gene product of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is important for the induction of AIDS, and key to its function is its ability to manipulate T-cell function by targeting cellular signal transduction proteins. We reported that Nef coprecipitates a multiprotein complex from cells which contains tumor suppressor protein p53. We now show that Nef interacts directly with p53. Binding assays showed...
