The precise mechanism of Rev-mediated expression of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) late genes is not well characterized. We recently proposed a requirement for HIV-1 Rev responsive element (RRE) RNA binding host nuclear proteins in Rev function. In this report, using a transient transfection assay of Rev function, we further demonstrate the role of host cell factors in HIV-1 Rev function. Murine A9 cells, which are inefficient in forming RRE-host protein ribonucleoprotein complexes, are also inefficient in supporting Rev function. We also show that host cell factor(s) encoded by human chromosomes 6 and 11 can support HIV-1 Rev-mediated expression of unspliced viral mRNAs in murine A9 cells.
Rev介导的人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)晚期基因表达的确切机制尚未得到充分表征。我们最近提出,HIV-1 Rev反应元件(RRE)RNA结合宿主核蛋白是Rev功能所必需的。在本报告中,我们使用Rev功能的瞬时转染试验,进一步证明了宿主细胞因子在HIV-1 Rev功能中的作用。小鼠A9细胞在形成RRE-宿主蛋白核糖核蛋白复合物方面效率低下,在支持Rev功能方面也效率低下。我们还表明,人类6号和11号染色体编码的宿主细胞因子可以支持HIV-1 Rev介导的未剪接病毒mRNA在小鼠A9细胞中的表达。
