Variation in HIV-1 nef and LTR DNA sequences was assessed longitudinally during disease progression in four HIV-1-infected subjects. Point mutations were found among quasispecies obtained at a single time point in each individual, with increasing diversity with disease progression in two of three patients for whom sufficient data were available for analysis. Deletions and rearrangements were more common in late than early stages of disease. Continued sequence evolution in HIV-1 quasispecies with nef deletions along with coexistence of nef-bearing quasispecies suggest that nef-deleted quasispecies are capable of replication in vivo, possibly complemented by quasispecies lacking such deletions and/or by adaptation to a specialized niche within the patients.

D015693 Gene Products, nef Products of the retroviral NEF GENE. They play a role as accessory proteins that influence the rate of viral infectivity and the destruction of the host immune system. nef gene products were originally found as factors that trans-suppress viral replication and function as negative regulators of transcription. nef stands for negative factor. nef Gene Products,nef Protein,3'-orf Protein,Gene Product, nef,3' orf Protein,nef Gene Product
D016325 HIV Long Terminal Repeat Regulatory sequences important for viral replication that are located on each end of the HIV genome. The LTR includes the HIV ENHANCER, promoter, and other sequences. Specific regions in the LTR include the negative regulatory element (NRE), NF-kappa B binding sites , Sp1 binding sites, TATA BOX, and trans-acting responsive element (TAR). The binding of both cellular and viral proteins to these regions regulates HIV transcription.
