Relative Resistance of HLA-B to Downregulation by Naturally Occurring HIV-1 Nef Sequences
UNLABELLED HIV-1 Nef binds to the cytoplasmic region of HLA-A and HLA-B and downregulates these molecules from the surface of virus-infected cells, thus evading immune detection by CD8(+) T cells. Polymorphic residues within the HLA cytoplasmic region may affect Nef's downregulation activity. However, the effects of HLA polymorphisms on recognition by primary Nef isolates remain elusive, as do ...
متن کاملCorrelation of Naturally Occurring HIV-1 Resistance to DEB025 with Capsid Amino Acid Polymorphisms
DEB025 (alisporivir) is a synthetic cyclosporine with inhibitory activity against human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). It binds to cyclophilin A (CypA) and blocks essential functions of CypA in the viral replication cycles of both viruses. DEB025 inhibits clinical HIV-1 isolates in vitro and decreases HIV-1 virus load in the majority of patients. HIV-1 isolat...
متن کاملNaturally occurring IgG anti-HLA alloantibody does not correlate with HIV type 1 resistance in Nairobi prostitutes.
In an effort to identify an immunological basis for natural resistance to HIV-1 infection, we have examined serum antibody responses to HLA class I antigens in female prostitutes of the Nairobi Sex Workers Study. Anti-HLA antibodies are known to block HIV infectivity in vitro and can be protective against SIV challenge in macaques immunized with purified class I HLA. Thus, it was postulated tha...
متن کاملThe CD4 determinant for downregulation by HIV-1 Nef directly binds to Nef. Mapping of the Nef binding surface by NMR.
Using heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy, we demonstrate that a 13-residue peptide (MS-QIKRLLSEKKT) from the cytoplasmic tail of CD4 binds to Nef protein. This part of CD4 is critical for downregulation of CD4 by HIV-1 Nef [Aiken et al. (1994) Cell 76, 853-864]. We show that a control peptide without the central dileucine does not bind to Nef. The dependence of Nef 1H and 15N amide chemical shifts ...
متن کاملHLA-Associated Immune Escape Pathways in HIV-1 Subtype B Gag, Pol and Nef Proteins
BACKGROUND Despite the extensive genetic diversity of HIV-1, viral evolution in response to immune selective pressures follows broadly predictable mutational patterns. Sites and pathways of Human Leukocyte-Antigen (HLA)-associated polymorphisms in HIV-1 have been identified through the analysis of population-level data, but the full extent of immune escape pathways remains incompletely characte...
