Abstract excerpt
HIV-1 Nef enhances virion infectivity by counteracting host restriction factor SERINC5; however, the impact of natural Nef polymorphisms on this function is largely unknown. We characterize SERINC5 downregulation activity of 91 primary HIV-1 subtype B nef alleles, including isolates from 45 elite controllers and 46 chronic progressors. Controller-derived Nef clones display lower ability to downregulate SERINC5...
