Transportin-SR2 Imports HIV into the Nucleus
BACKGROUND The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and other lentiviruses have the capacity to infect nondividing cells like macrophages. This requires import of the preintegration complex (PIC) through the nuclear pore. Although many cellular and viral determinants have been proposed, the mechanism leading to nuclear import is not yet understood. RESULTS Using yeast two-hybrid and pu...
متن کاملHIV-1 Infection: Going Nuclear with TNPO3/Transportin-SR2 and Integrase
Factors necessary for HIV-1 nuclear import have been sought for many years. Recent reports suggest that TNPO3/Transportin-SR2 binds to HIV-1 integrase and is required for HIV-1 infection of interphase cells.
متن کاملTransportin-SR2 mediates nuclear import of phosphorylated SR proteins.
Serine/arginine-rich proteins (SR proteins) are a family of nuclear factors that play important roles in both constitutive and regulated precursor mRNA splicing. The domain rich in arginine/serine (RS) repeats (RS domain) serves as both a nuclear and subnuclear localization signal. We previously identified an importin beta family protein, transportin-SR2 (TRN-SR2), that specifically interacts w...
متن کاملTransportin mediates nuclear entry of DNA in vertebrate systems.
Delivery of DNA to the cell nucleus is an essential step in many types of viral infection, transfection, gene transfer by the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens and in strategies for gene therapy. Thus, the mechanism by which DNA crosses the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is of great interest. Using nuclei reconstituted in vitro in Xenopus egg extracts, we previously studied DNA passage throu...
متن کاملInterplay between RNA structure and protein evolution in HIV-1.
The genomes of many RNA viruses contain abundant secondary structures that have been shown to be important for understanding the evolution of noncoding regions and synonymous sites. However, the consequences for protein evolution are less well understood. Recently, the secondary structure of the HIV-1 RNA genome has been experimentally determined. Using this information, here we show that RNA s...
