Abstract

SIV and HIV Nef proteins disrupt T-cell receptor machinery by down-modulating cell surface expression of CD4 and expression or signaling of CD3-TCR. Nef also down-modulates class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) surface expression. We show that SIV and HIV-1 Nefs down-modulate CD28, a major co-stimulatory receptor that mediates effective T-cell activation, by accelerating CD28 endocytosis, The effects of Nef on CD28, CD4, CD3 and class I MHC expression are all genetically separable, indicating that all are selected independently. In cells expressing a Nef-green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion, CD28 co-localizes with the AP-2 clathrin adaptor and Nef-GFP. Mutations that disrupt Nef interaction with AP-2 disrupt CD28 down-regulation. Furthermore, HIV and SIV Nefs use overlapping but distinct target sites in the membrane-proximal region of the CD28 cytoplasmic domain. Thus, Nef probably induces CD28 endocytosis via the AP-2 pathway, and this involves a ternary complex containing Nef, AP-2 and CD28. The likely consequence of the concerted down-regulation of CD28, CD4 and/or CD3 by Nef is disruption of antigen-specific signaling machineries in infected T cells following a productive antigen recognition event.
