AB HIV Nef is a central auxiliary protein in HIV infection and pathogenesis. Our resultsindicate that HDAC6 promotes the aggresome/autophagic degradation of the viralpolyprotein Pr55Gag to inhibit HIV-1 production. Nef counteracts this antiviral activityof HDAC6 by inducing its degradation and subsequently stabilizing Pr55Gag and Vifviral proteins. Nef appears to neutralize HDAC6 by an acidic/endosomal-lysosomalprocessing and does not need the downregulation function, since data obtained withthe non-associated cell-surface Nef-G2A mutant – the cytoplasmic location of HDAC6 –together with studies with chemical inhibitors and other Nef mutants, point to thisdirection. Hence, the polyproline rich region P72xxP75 (69–77 aa) and the di-Leucinmotif in the Nef-ExxxLL160-165 sequence of Nef, appear to be responsible for HDAC6clearance and, therefore, required for this novel Nef proviral function. Nef and NefG2A co-immunoprecipitate with HDAC6, whereas the Nef-PPAA mutant showed areduced interaction with the anti-HIV-1 enzyme. Thus, the P72xxP75 motif appears tobe responsible, directly or indirectly, for the interaction of Nef with HDAC6. Remarkably,by neutralizing HDAC6, Nef assures Pr55Gag location and aggregation at plasmamembrane, as observed by TIRFM, promotes viral egress, and enhances the infectivityof viral particles. Consequently, our results suggest that HDAC6 acts as an anti-HIV-1restriction factor, limiting viral production and infection by targeting Pr55Gag and Vif.This function is counteracted by functional HIV-1 Nef, in order to assure viral productionand infection capacities. The interplay between HIV-1 Nef and cellular HDAC6 maydetermine viral infection and pathogenesis, representing both molecules as key targetsto battling HIV
