title: Dys-regulated activation of a Src tyroine kinase Hck at the Golgi disturbs N-glycosylation of a cytokine receptor Fms.
abstract: HIV-1 Nef accelerates the progression to AIDS by binding with and activating a Src kinase Hck, but underlying molecular basis is not understood. We revealed that Nef disturbed N-glycosylation/trafficking of a cytokine receptor Fms in an Hck-dependent manner, a possible trigger to worsen uncontrolled immune system. Here, we provide direct evidence that dys-regulated activation of Hck pre-localized to the Golgi apparatus causes this Fms maturation arrest. A striking change in Hck induced by Nef other than activation was its skewed localization to the Golgi due to predominant Golgi-localization of Nef. Studies with different Nef alleles and their mutants showed a clear correlation among higher Nef-Hck affinity, stronger Hck activation, severe Golgi-localization of Hck and severe Fms maturation arrest. Studies with a newly discovered Nef-Hck binding blocker 2c more clearly showed that skewed Golgi-localization of active Hck was indeed the cause of Fms maturation arrest. 2c blocked Nef-induced skewed Golgi-localization of an active form of Hck (Hck-P2A) and Fms maturation arrest by Nef/Hck-P2A, but showed no inhibition on Hck-P2A kinase activity. Our finding establishes an intriguing link between the pathogenesis of Nef and a newly emerging concept that the Golgi-localized Src kinases regulate the Golgi function.
