Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Nef protein modulates the lipid composition of virions and host cell membrane microdomains

Abstract: Background: The Nef protein of Human Immunodeficiency Viruses optimizes viral spread in the infected host by manipulating cellular transport and signal transduction machineries. Nef also boosts the infectivity of HIV particles by an unknown mechanism. Recent studies suggested a correlation between the association of Nef with lipid raft microdomains and its positive effects on virion infectivity. Furthermore, the lipidome analysis of HIV-1 particles revealed a marked enrichment of classical raft lipids and thus… Show more

“…Lipid rafts are the preferential sites of HIV-1 assembly and budding, and cholesterol content of lipid rafts determines the cholesterol content of virions, which is critical for virion infectivity. Cholesterol depletion of HIV-infected cells reduces infectivity of released virions, which was shown to correlate with the amount of virion-associated cholesterol and the activity of Nef ( 6,13 ). In addition, depletion of cellular cholesterol, which reduces the abundance of rafts, also reduces HIV-1 particle production ( 6,10 ).…”

“…Furthermore, HIV-1 envelope-mediated membrane fusion occurs in cholesterol-rich lipid domains. In this context, the viral protein Nef can modulate the lipid composition of virion and host cell micro-domains ("lipid raft") to enhance virus infectivity and propagation, by specific enrichment of sphingomyelin and cholesterol specifically in these sites [101][102][103].…”

“…The N-terminus of Nef determines the differential membrane avidities and selective incorporation into a specific membrane raft for surface membranes or for subcellular membranes [170]. Moreover, Nef modulates the lipid composition of virions and host cell membrane rafts through activation of lipid kinases such as PI3K [171].…”
