Simian immunodeficiency virus Nef gene regulates the production of 2-LTR circles in vivo
The replication dynamics of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVmac32H-C8), attenuated through discrete genetic disruption of the nef gene, were compared with the wild-type parental clone (SIVmac32H-J5) using quantitative molecular methods. The primary viraemia of both infections were similar during the first week, but peaked on Day 10 at higher levels ...

Functional association between the nef gene product and gag‐pol region of HIV‐1
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 ...

Regulation of HIV-1 transcription in cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been shown to replicate productively in cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage, although replication occurs to a lesser extent than in infected T cells.

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 ...

Background The aberrant cell-cycle progression of HIV-1-infected kidney cells plays a major role in the pathogenesis of HIV-associated nephropathy, however the mechanisms whereby HIV-1 induces infected glomerular podocytes or infected tubular epithelium ...

Hyper-responsiveness to Stimulation of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-infected CD4+ T Cells Requires Nef and Tat Virus Gene Products and Results from Higher NFAT, NF-κB, and AP-1 Induction [PDF]
A chronic state of immune hyperactivation is a feature of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) infection. Studies on the molecular mechanisms by which HIV-1 can modulate the activation state of T cells indicate that both Nef and Tat can alter T cell activation.

Roles of phosphatidylserine exposed on the viral envelope and cell membrane in HIV-1 replication
Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) is usually present only in the inner leaf of the lipid bilayers of the cell membrane, but is exposed on the outer leaf when cells are activated and/or die. Exposure of PtdSer has physiological functions.

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 nef gene product was expressed as an N-terminal fusion protein with glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in the baculovirus system. The resulting nefGST fusion protein was found to be authentically myristylated at the N terminus and could be purified to homogeneity by one-step affinity chromatography on ...

Secreted Nonstructural Protein 3 is a Pathogenic Determinant of Orbivirus
This study uncovers a conserved PIP2‐dependent secretory pathway of orbivirus NS3 that induces vascular leakage. Pharmacological disruption of PIP2‐NS3 interaction significantly reduces viral pathogenicity and provides protective efficacy in murine models, establishing PIP2‐mediated NS3 secretion as both a key virulence determinant and a promising ...

By leveraging this homodimerization mechanism, molecular glues were rationally designed to induce dysfunctional 3A dimerization, thereby restoring antiviral RNAi. The optimal molecular glue, VTP‐32, demonstrated potent and pan‐enterovirus (groups A, B, D) antiviral effects.
