HIV-1 Nef Inhibits Protease Activity and Its Absence Alters Protein Content of Mature Viral Particles by Luiza M. Mendonça (584366)

“…Collectively, our data support the hypothesis that the decreased infectivity typical of <i>nef</i>-deficient viruses is due to an abnormal function of the viral Protease, which is in turn associated with less mature particles being produced and the loss of Integrase content in these particles, and these results may characterize Nef as a regulator of viral Protease activity.…”
