Abstract

HIV-1 Rev protein plays an important role in regulating the expression of viral structural proteins. It allows the nuclear export and accumulation of unspliced and partially spliced viral mRNA in the cytoplasm. The Rev-responsive element RNA, present in the env gene, forms a higly ordered RNA secondary structure and is required for the Rev-mediated mRNA export. For this process to complete factor(s) are strongly suggested. From our experiments of electrophoretic mobility shift, UV-crosslinking and SDS/PAGE, RRE RNA was found to be recognized to several nuclear factors such as 36/37, 56, 41. 76, 150 kD proteins in the order of reactivity. Among them, 36/37 and 56 kD proteins are more reactive upon a brief UV treatment (5 min) and more persistent in the presence of high amount of nonspecific competitor, heparin. Certain nuclear protein9s) seemed to recognize the RRE RNA structure in competition with Rev to gel mobility shift assay.

HIV-1 Rev단백질은 바이러스의 구조단백질의 발현조절에 매우 중요한 역할을 하며RNA가 1차발현된 원형대로 또는 일부만이 절단/재조합된 상태로 세포질에 집적되는 것을 가능하게 한다. env gene에 존재하는 Rev-responsive element RNA는 복잡한 RNA구조를 지니면서 Rev의 기능을 위하여 필수적으로 필요시 된다. 그러나 이러한 절차의 완전한 진행을 위해서는 핵단백질이 요구되는 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구에서는 electrophoretic mobility shift, UV-crosslinking 또는 SDS/PAGE등의 실험을 통하여 36/37, 56, 41, 76, 150 kD등의 핵단백질등이 RRE RNA와 결합반응하는 것을 발견하였으며 특히 36/37 과 56 kD 단백질을 5분간의 자외선조사에 의해 특히 RRE RNA에 결합하는 핵단백질들은 gel mobility shift assay에서 Rev RNA인식결합에 경쟁적인 특징을 나타내고 있다.
