Journal ArticleDOI

Effector Kinase Coupling Enables High-Throughput Screens for Direct HIV-1 Nef Antagonists with Antiretroviral Activity

TL;DR: An assay that couples Nef to the activation of Hck, a Src family member and Nef effector protein is developed and a diphenylpyrazolo compound demonstrated submicromolar potency in HIV-1 replication assays against a broad range of primary Nef variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the Solution Conformation and Dynamics of the HIV-1 Viral Infectivity Factor

TL;DR: Hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry (HX MS) was used to probe the solution conformation of recombinant full-length HIV-1 Vif, suggesting that the Vif studied by HX MS retained a biochemically competent conformation relevant to Hck interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nef alleles from all major HIV-1 clades activate Src-family kinases and enhance HIV-1 replication in an inhibitor-sensitive manner.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the activation of Hck, Lyn and c-Src by Nef is highly conserved among all major clades of HIV-1 and that selective targeting of this pathway uniformly inhibits HIV- 1 replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery of a diaminoquinoxaline benzenesulfonamide antagonist of HIV-1 Nef function using a yeast-based phenotypic screen

TL;DR: Inhibitors of Nef function discovered with this assay, such as DQBS, may complement the activity of current antiretroviral therapies by enabling immune recognition of HIV-infected cells through the rescue of cell surface MHC-I.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIV-1 Nef interaction influences the ATP-binding site of the Src-family kinase, Hck

TL;DR: Observations suggest that stable interaction with Nef may induce Src-family kinase active site conformations amenable to selective inhibitor targeting.
