The art gene product of the human immunodeficiency virus is required for the expression of virion capsid and envelope gene proteins. The experiments presented here show that sequences located within the coding region of the envelope gene exert a negative effect on the expression of heterologous genes and that the negative effect of these sequences can be relieved by the art gene product. This region in the env gene contains negative regulatory sequences that inhibit gene expression, as well as a sequence necessary for the art gene product-dependent relief of repression. The experiments define the cis- and trans-acting components of a regulatory system that permits differential expression of human immunodeficiency virus virion structural and regulatory proteins.

D002213	Capsid	The outer protein protective shell of a virus, which protects the viral nucleic acid. Capsids are composed of repeating units (capsomers or capsomeres) of CAPSID PROTEINS which when assembled together form either an icosahedral or helical shape.

D005814	Genes, Viral	The functional hereditary units of VIRUSES.	Viral Genes,Gene, Viral,Viral Gene
D006678	HIV	Human immunodeficiency virus. A non-taxonomic and historical term referring to any of two species, specifically HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. Prior to 1986, this was called human T-lymphotropic virus type III/lymphadenopathy-associated virus (HTLV-III/LAV). From 1986-1990, it was an official species called HIV. Since 1991, HIV was no longer considered an official species name; the two species were designated HIV-1 and HIV-2.

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
