Human immunodeficiency virus Nef is a small myristylated protein that plays a critical role in AIDS progression. Nef binds with high affinity to the SH3 domain of the myeloid-restricted tyrosine kinase Hck in vitro, identifying this Src-related kinase as a possible cellular target for Nef in macrophages. Here we show that Nef activates endogenous Hck in the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-dependent myeloid cell line, TF-1. Unexpectedly, Nef induced cytokine-independent TF-1 cell outgrowth and constitutive activation of the Stat3 transcription factor. Induction of survival required the Nef SH3 binding and membrane-targeting motifs and was blocked by dominant-negative Stat3 mutants. Nef also stimulated Stat3 activation in primary human macrophages, providing evidence for Stat3 as a Nef effector in a target cell for human immunodeficiency virus.
