RESUMO

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.
