Conformation of the Dileucine‐Based Sorting Motif in HIV‐1 Nef Revealed by Intermolecular Domain Assembly
7 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
The human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) Nef protein is a pathogenicity factor required for effective progression to AIDS, which modulates host cell signaling pathways and T-cell receptor internalization. We have determined the crystal structure of Nef, allele SF2, in complex with an engineered SH3 domain of human Hck showing unnaturally tight binding and inhibitory potential toward Nef. This complex provides...
