The human retroviruses human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) are characterized by complex regulation of gene expression. Each virus encodes a posttranscriptional regulator, the 19-kDa HIV-1 Rev protein and the 27-kDa HTLV-I Rex protein, which is required for viral replication. Expression of these trans activators results in the cytoplasmic accumulation of unspliced or singly spliced viral mRNA which encode the gag, pol, and env gene products. The finding that the HTLV-I Rex protein is able to functionally substitute for the Rev protein of HIV-1 indicates that HIV-1 Rev and HTLV-I Rex may interact with the same component of a cellular pathway involved in either mRNA splicing or transport. In this study, we have generated functional Rev/Rex hybrid proteins by domain exchange. We have defined, using in vivo and in vitro analyses, the activation domains of Rev and Rex which are the putative targets of a common host cell factor(s) required for Rev and Rex function.

D015694 Gene Products, rev Trans-acting nuclear proteins whose functional expression are required for retroviral replication. Specifically, the rev gene products are required for processing and translation of the gag and env mRNAs, and thus rev regulates the expression of the viral structural proteins. rev can also regulate viral regulatory proteins. A cis-acting antirepression sequence (CAR) in env, also known as the rev-responsive element (RRE), is responsive to the rev gene product. Rev is short for regulator of virion. rev Gene Products,rev Protein,Gene Product, rev,rev Gene Product
D016370 Gene Products, rex Post-transcriptional regulatory proteins required for the accumulation of mRNAs that encode the gag and env gene products in HUMAN T-LYMPHOTROPIC VIRUS 1 and HUMAN T-LYMPHOTROPIC VIRUS 2. The rex (regulator x; x is undefined) products act by binding to elements in the LONG TERMINAL REPEAT. p27(rex),rex Gene Products,rex Protein,Gene Product, rex,p27 rex,rex Gene Product
