Nef and PAK: virulence factor and cellular accomplice
Abstract
The Nef protein is important in HIV replication and in AIDS pathogenesis. The finding that Nef activates a member of the PAK family of protein kinases provides new insights into the mechanisms of action of this critical virulence factor.
