Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Nef down-regulates human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) in T lymphocytes, and the down-regulation involves the Nef proline-rich domain (PRD) containing four prolines at positions 69, 72, 75, and 78. We used a Sendai virus vector with nef and examined regulation by Nef of HLA-I and CD4 in suspension cultures of cells such as T lymphocytes. Analyses of a series of PRD substitution mutants indicated that, because the substitution of Pro78 with Ala abolished down-regulation of HLA-I but not of CD4, Pro78 is important for HLA-I down-regulation in T lymphocytes.
1型人类免疫缺陷病毒Nef可下调T淋巴细胞中的人类白细胞抗原I类分子(HLA-I),这种下调涉及富含脯氨酸结构域(PRD),该结构域在第69、72、75和78位含有四个脯氨酸。我们使用携带nef的仙台病毒载体,并在T淋巴细胞等细胞的悬浮培养物中检测Nef对HLA-I和CD4的调控。一系列PRD替代突变体的分析表明,由于将第78位的脯氨酸替换为丙氨酸消除了HLA-I的下调,但未消除CD4的下调,因此第78位脯氨酸对T淋巴细胞中HLA-I的下调很重要。
