Function

Escorts unspliced or incompletely spliced viral pre-mRNAs (late transcripts) out of the nucleus of infected cells. These pre-mRNAs carry a recognition sequence called Rev responsive element (RRE) located in the env gene, that is not present in fully spliced viral mRNAs (early transcripts). This function is essential since most viral proteins are translated from unspliced or partially spliced pre-mRNAs which cannot exit the nucleus by the pathway used by fully processed cellular mRNAs. Rev itself is translated from a fully spliced mRNA that readily exits the nucleus. Rev's nuclear localization signal (NLS) binds directly to KPNB1/Importin beta-1 without previous binding to KPNA1/Importin alpha-1. KPNB1 binds to the GDP bound form of RAN (Ran-GDP) and targets Rev to the nucleus. In the nucleus, the conversion from Ran-GDP to Ran-GTP dissociates Rev from KPNB1 and allows Rev's binding to the RRE in viral pre-mRNAs. Rev multimerization on the RRE via cooperative assembly exposes its nuclear export signal (NES) to the surface. Rev can then form a complex with XPO1/CRM1 and Ran-GTP, leading to nuclear export of the complex. Conversion from Ran-GTP to Ran-GDP mediates dissociation of the Rev/RRE/XPO1/RAN complex, so that Rev can return to the nucleus for a subsequent round of export. Beside KPNB1, also seems to interact with TNPO1/Transportin-1, RANBP5/IPO5 and IPO7/RANBP7 for nuclear import. The nucleoporin-like HRB/RIP is an essential cofactor that probably indirectly interacts with Rev to release HIV RNAs from the perinuclear region to the cytoplasm.

Activity summary

The HIV-1 Rev protein also known as Regulatory protein Rev is an essential component of the HIV-1 virus. It weighs approximately 13 kDa and plays an important role in the viral replication cycle. HIV-1 Rev is expressed in cells infected by the HIV-1 virus predominantly within the nucleus. It interacts with viral RNA elements known as the Rev Response Elements (RRE) helping in the regulation of viral mRNA during the HIV-1 life cycle. Researchers often use techniques like Western blotting to detect and study this protein due to its significant role in HIV infection.

Biological function summary

The Rev protein facilitates a critical stage in the gene expression of HIV in infected cells. It aids in the export of intron-containing viral RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm ensuring that these RNAs are effectively translated into viral proteins. HIV-1 Rev does not function alone; it forms part of a complex involving other cellular proteins such as exportin-1 (CRM1) that helps in its transport functions. This complex interaction allows the virus to efficiently reproduce by bypassing the normal cellular restrictions on nuclear export.

Pathways

The HIV-1 Rev protein interacts with pathways involved in viral mRNA transport and gene expression regulation. It is particularly significant in the CRM1-mediated nuclear export pathway. Through this pathway Rev is related to various proteins such as Ran GTPase which is critical for the nucleocytoplasmic transport mechanisms. These pathways are vital for the replication and assembly of new viral particles within HIV-infected cells.

Associated diseases and disorders

The HIV-1 Rev protein is a central figure in the progression of HIV/AIDS. It controls the expression of viral genes impacting how rapidly and effectively the virus multiplies. In the context of HIV-related diseases Rev influences proteins involved in the host cell's regulatory systems including the p53 tumor suppressor protein which can affect cell cycle and apoptosis. Understanding Rev's function and interactions is important in developing treatments that target and mitigate the progression of HIV/AIDS.
