Here, we analyzed the impact of naturally occurring mutations in HIV-1 Nef on its ability to counteract SERINC restriction and the clinical course of infection. HIV-1 Nef sequences were obtained from 123 participants of the Amsterdam Cohort Studies and showed multiple amino acid variations and mutations. Most of the primary Nef proteins showed increased activity to counteract SERINC3 and SERINC5 as compared to NL4-3 Nef. Several mutations in Nef were associated with either an increased or decreased infectivity of Bal26-pseudotyped HIV-1 produced in the presence of SERINC3 or SERINC5. The 8R, 157N and R178G Nef mutations were shown to have an effect on disease progression. Survival analysis showed an accelerated disease progression of individuals infected with HIV-1 carrying arginine or asparagine at position 8 or 157 in Nef, respectively, or the R178G Nef mutation. Here, we observed that naturally occurring mutations in Nef affect the ability of Nef to counteract SERINC3- and SERINC5-mediated inhibition of viral infectivity. The majority of these Nef mutations had no significant effect on HIV-1 pathogenesis and only the 8R, 157N and R178G mutations were associated with disease course.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/v13030423","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,7]],"date-time":"2021-03-07T21:52:15Z","timestamp":1615153935000},"page":"423","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Nef Obtained from Individuals with HIV-1 Vary in Their Ability to Antagonize SERINC3- and SERINC5-Mediated HIV-1 Restriction"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Zita","family":"Kruize","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam Infection &amp; Immunity Institute, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ad C.","family":"van Nuenen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam Infection &amp; Immunity Institute, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2921-936X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stan W.","family":"van Wijk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam Infection &amp; Immunity Institute, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arginell F.","family":"Girigorie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam Infection &amp; Immunity Institute, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karel A.","family":"van Dort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam Infection &amp; Immunity Institute, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thijs","family":"Booiman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam Infection &amp; Immunity Institute, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9429-7754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Neeltje A.","family":"Kootstra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam Infection &amp; Immunity Institute, University of Amsterdam, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"496","DOI":"10.2174\/157016211798842116","article-title":"One protein to rule them all: Modulation of cell surface receptors and molecules by HIV Nef","volume":"9","author":"Landi","year":"2011","journal-title":"Curr.
