Figure 6. Proposed model for cross-regulation of NRON and HIV-1 replication.

Figure 6

The model shows HIV-1 infection and the viral Nef protein to reduce NRON levels, and the viral Vpu protein to increase NRON levels. This in turn regulates activity of the transcription factor NFAT, which enhances transcription from the HIV-1 LTR. The interventions with shRNA-mediated NRON knockdown and siRNA-mediated NFAT reduction, are shown.
