It has been demonstrated that Nef activation of Pak2 leads to merlin phosphorylation at ser- ine 518 though it has yet to be demonstrated that HIV- 1 infection is in anyway dependent ... Cellular activation and signaling by Nef Disease progression may be directly associated with T cell activation [96,97]. It is also possible that Nef may regulate cellula...
