The Nef protein is unique to primate lentiviruses and is closely linked to accelerated pathogenesis in both human and monkey hosts. Nef acts to down-regulate CD4 and MHC class I, two receptors important for immune function. A recent report demonstrated the presence of two tyrosine motifs in SIV Nef that contribute to its ability to down-regulate CD4 and to associate with clathrin adaptors. These tyrosine motifs are not present in HIV-1 Nef, which instead utilizes a leucine-based motif for its down-regulation of CD4. We now report that SIV Nef also contains a conserved leucine-based motif that contributes to CD4 down-regulation, functions to stimulate internalization, and contributes to the association of SIV Nef with clathrin adaptors AP-1 and AP-2. These results demonstrate that SIV Nef differs from HIV-1 Nef by its ability to use two parallel pathways of the protein-sorting machinery based on either tyrosine or leucine motifs.
