Nef is an accessory protein highly conserved amongst all primate lentiviruses, it is essential for viral replication in vivo- it is expressed by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) HIV-1 and HIV-2. Nef acts as a downregulator of class I human leukocyte antigens (HLA) expression in HIV-infected cells to help circumvent the immune response, such as Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) activity. An intact nef gene is critical for high viral loads, linked to development of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Certain alleles of HLA have been associated with maintaining a seronegative status such as HLA-A*1101.This nef peptide sequence contains the region considered to be a a C-proximal adaptor-protein (AP) interaction site. The presence of various nef motifs such as this are an intense area of investigation to understand if they are a factor in patients who remain clinically asymptomatic. This nef fragment is provided with an N-terminal acetyl group to increase its stability.
