To study the role of Src family tyrosine kinases in infection with
human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), we constructed an Hck
mutant, HckN, that hinders signaling from wild-type Hck. HIV-1 produced
in HckN-expressing cells was significantly less infectious to

Inhibition of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Virion Entry by Dominant-Negative Hck

-gal (MAGI) cells than HIV-1 produced in
mock-transfected cells. The inhibitory effect of HckN was compensated for by the expression of vesicular stomatitis virus G protein. Finally,
we found that the HIV-1 produced in the HckN-expressing cells entered
into the cells less efficiently than did the control HIV-1. These
results suggest that the Src family tyrosine kinases regulate entry of
HIV-1 into target cells.
