Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) regulatory protein ICP27 has been reported to bind viral RNA and to interact with the nuclear export adaptor Aly/REF and the major cellular mRNA nuclear export receptor TAP/NXF1. Using in situ hybridization and in vitro export assays, we show here that poly(A)(+) RNA was retained in the nucleus of cells infected with viral ICP27 mutants that either cannot bind RNA or that do not interact with TAP/NXF1. Microarray analysis of nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA fractions demonstrated that efficient export of the majority of viral transcripts requires that ICP27 be able to bind RNA and to interact with TAP/NXF1. We conclude that ICP27 is the major export adaptor for HSV-1 mRNA and that it links bound transcripts to the TAP/NXF1 export receptor.
据报道,单纯疱疹病毒1型(HSV-1)调节蛋白ICP27可结合病毒RNA,并与核输出衔接蛋白Aly/REF以及主要的细胞mRNA核输出受体TAP/NXF1相互作用。通过原位杂交和体外输出分析,我们在此表明,聚腺苷酸(poly(A))(+) RNA保留在感染了病毒ICP27突变体的细胞核中,这些突变体要么无法结合RNA,要么不与TAP/NXF1相互作用。对核RNA和细胞质RNA组分进行的微阵列分析表明,大多数病毒转录本的有效输出要求ICP27能够结合RNA并与TAP/NXF1相互作用。我们得出结论,ICP27是HSV-1 mRNA的主要输出衔接蛋白,并且它将结合的转录本与TAP/NXF1输出受体相连。
