To ensure successful replication, HIV-1 has developed a Rev-mediated RNA transport system that promotes the export of unspliced genomic RNA from nuclei to cytoplasm. This process requires the Rev responsive element (RRE) that is positioned in the viral transcript encoding Env protein, as well as in unspliced and singly spliced viral transcripts. We identified Puralpha, a single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein as a cellular partner for Rev that augments the appearance of unspliced viral RNA ...[more]
