Disruption of the Actin Cytoskeleton Can Complement the Ability of Nef To Enhance Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Infectivity
12 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) protein Nef has been shown to increase the infectivity of HIV at an early point during infection. Since Nef is known to interact with proteins involved in actin cytoskeleton rearrangements, we tested the possibility that Nef may enhance HIV infectivity via a mechanism that involves the actin cytoskeleton. We find that disruption of the actin cytoskeleton complements the Nef...
