vivonef-deleted SIV is severely attenuated in the rhesus macaque model infection of macaques with recombinant SIV carrying a premature STOP codon(point mutation)results in rapid revertants with the nef ORF Patients infected with nef-defective HIV have a dramatically decreased rate of disease progression(15 years)nef-deleted HIV do not deplete thymocytes as much,or replicate to as high titers,as wild-type HIV in the SCID-hu mice modelPleiotropic Functions of NefN-myristoylation required for Nef activity-implies that membranelocalization of nef is critical for its

CD4Down-regulates surface levels of major histocompatibility class I moleculesMediates cellular signaling and activation Enhances viral infectivity I.Down-modulation of surface CD4Down-modulation of surface CD4 via internalization followed by degradation via endosomal/lysosomal pathway Advantages:Prevents disadvantageous super-infection of host cellEnhance viral progeny release(by preventing Env-mediated sequestration of CD4 in secretory pathway)Evidence:Nef expression increases number of CD4 containing clathrin-coated pitsNef-induced CD4 down-modulation blocked by inhibitors of clathrin-coated pit-mediated endocytosis (e.g.ikaguramycin)Inhibition of lysosomal acidification(e.g.via chloroqine treatment)blocks Nef-induced CD4 degradationExpression of nef alone in T-cell lines can lead to CD4 downregulation(as determined by FACS)CD4Nef-GFP.I.Down-modulation of surface CD4Mechanism(s)?Direct interaction with CD4 has not been biochemically demonstrable,but NMR analysis suggest a direct interaction with Kd 0.87 m mM;yeast two-hybrid assays also suggest an interactionActs as a connector to the host-cell endocytic machineryCo-localizes with AP-2 on inner plasma membraneConserved dileucine based sorting motif(E/DxxxL)in Nef is important for both CD4-down-modulation and AP-2 co-localizationInteracts with NBP-1(identified through a yeast two-hybrid screen).NBP-1 is part of the vacuolar membrane ATPase complex in clathrin-coated pits(H subunit of vacuolar ATPase-VH1)C-terminal diacidic motif(DD)in Nef is important for NBP-1 interaction,and,at least in SIV Nef,the dileucine motif is also important for NBP-1 interactions?May bind to b b-Cop,a coatamer protein which targets proteins to lysosomesNBP-1II.Down-modulation of MHC Class IAdvantages:Immune evasion;MHC Class I presents antigens to cytotoxic T-lymphocytes;alerts innate and adaptive immune system to virally infected cellsEvidence:Nef expression reduces susceptibility of HIV-infected cells to CTL mediated lysis in vitroselectively down-regulates only HLA-A and HLA-B,which presents antigens to CTLs;does NOT down-regulate HLA-C and HLA-E,which inhibit NK-cell mediated cell lysis Thus,efficiency of CTL-mediated lysis(adaptive immunity)is reduced without increasing increasing susceptibility to NK cell lysisHIVCTLMHC Class IHIV antigen51CrE:T

in the ER Targets CD4 for proteolysis via ubiquitin-proteasome pathwayVpu mediated CD4 degradation via ubiquitin-proteasome pathwayEvidence:Vpu activity disrupted by inhibitors of proteasome-mediated proteolysisVpu activity affected by dominant negative mutants of ubiquitin pathwayRemoval of lysine residues (ubiquination targets)in CD4 tail prevents Vpu-mediated degradationVpu binds to b b-TrCP,which in turns binds to the proteasome targeting factor Skp1pOverexpression of b b-TrCP mutant that cannot bind Skp1p inhibits Vpu-mediated CD4 degradationContrast with NefVpu:required for proper maturation and targeting of progeny virions,and for their proper release from the cell surfaceOligomerization of its transmembrane domain results in ion channel activitySimilar to influenza virus M2 protein,an ion channel protein that modulates the pH in the Golgi compartmentIon channel activity of Vpu may be required for proper virion maturation and assembly by protecting newly formed
