Genetic characterization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nef gene products translated in vitro and expressed in mammalian cells [PDF]
Expression of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 nef gene was studied by in vitro transcription-translation and by transfection into monkey COS cells. Two Nef-related peptides, of 27 and 25 kDa, were identified by immunoprecipitation with anti-Nef antibodies.

Functional association between the nef gene product and gag‐pol region of HIV‐1 [PDF]
Nef gene function is diverse among virus isolates of primate immunodeficiency viruses. We found differential effects of nef mutation on the virus replication between two HIV‐1 clones, NL432 and LAI. The nef mutation in NL432 affected the infectivity more severely compared with that in LAI, although the Nef functions of both clones were comparable ...

Effects of the tat and nef gene products of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) on transcription controlled by the HIV-1 long terminal repeat and on cell growth in macrophages [PDF]
The RAW264 murine macrophage cell line was used as a model to examine the role of the tat and nef gene products in the transcription regulation of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) long terminal repeat (LTR) in macrophages. Contrary to claims that the activity of the HIV-1 LTR responds poorly in rodent cells to trans activation by the ...

Species-specific activity of SIV Nef and HIV-1 Vpu in overcoming restriction by tetherin/BST2. [PDF]
Tetherin, also known as BST2, CD317 or HM1.24, was recently identified as an interferon-inducible host-cell factor that interferes with the detachment of virus particles from infected cells.

Formation of a Unique Cluster of G-Quadruplex Structures in the HIV-1 nef Coding Region: Implications for Antiviral Activity [PDF]
G-quadruplexes are tetraplex structures of nucleic acids that can form in G-rich sequences. Their presence and functional role have been established in telomeres, oncogene promoters and coding regions of the human chromosome.

Antiretroviral therapies (ARTs) abrogate HIV replication; however, infection persists as long-lived reservoirs of infected cells with integrated proviruses, which reseed replication if ART is interrupted.

Most of the Brazilian HIV-1 samples have been characterized based on the structural genes (env, gag and pol) and no data concerning the variability of the accessory genes such as nef have been available so far.

A Q-body capable of detecting target molecules in solutions could serve as a simple molecular detection tool. The position of the fluorescent dye in a Q-body affects sensitivity and therefore must be optimized.
