Modulation of Cellular Protein Trafficking by Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Nef: Role of the Acidic Residue in the ExxxLL Motif
26 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The nef gene contributes to the replication of primate lentiviruses by altering the trafficking of cellular proteins involved in adaptive immunity (class I and II major histocompatibility complex [MHC]) and viral transmission (CD4 and DC-SIGN). A conserved acidic leucine-based sequence (E(160)xxxLL) within human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Nef binds to the cellular adaptor protein (AP) complexes, which...
