Nef is an HIV-1 accessory protein critical to viral pathogenesis. While its role in immune evasion is well established, the mechanism by which Nef enhances virion infectivity remains incompletely understood. Here, we identify ADAM17 (TACE) as a host restriction factor through affinity purification-mass spectrometry. ADAM17 associates with HIV-1 Env in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), reducing Env expression and incorporation into virions, leading to an approximately 100-fold reduction in infectiv ...[more]
