	Antiviral drugs currently on the market primarily target proteins encoded by
specific viruses. The drawback of these drugs is that they lack antiviral mechanisms
that account for resistance or viral mutation. Thus, there is a pressing
need for researchers to explore and investigate new therapeutic agents
with other antiviral strategies. Viruses such as the human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV) alter canonical signaling pathways to create a favorable biochemical
environment for infectivity. We used Qiagen Ingenuity Pathway Analysis
(IPA) software to review the function of several cellular kinases and the resulting
perturbed signaling pathways during HIV infection such as NF-¦ĘB
signaling. These host cellular kinases such as ADK, PKR, MAP3K11 are involved
during HIV infection at various stages of the life cycle. Additionally
IPA analysis indicated that these modified host cellular kinases are known to
have interactions with each other especially AKT1, a serine/threonine kinase
involved in multiple pathways. We present a list of cellular host kinases and
other proteins that interact with these kinases. This approach to understanding
the relationship between HIV infection and kinase activity may introduce
new drug targets to arrest HIV infectivity.
