Abstract excerpt
HIV Nef has a number of important biological effects, including the down-modulation of several immunological important molecules (CD4, major histocompatibility complex [MHC] class I). Down-modulation of CD4 seems to be via clathrin-dependent endocytosis, whereas down-modulation of MHC class I remains unexplained. Several mutant proteins, including mutations in the small GTPase Arf6, have been used to probe...
